Latest Moan From You and Me 2023

Depending on which railcard you have entitles you to buy your travel tickets at a cheaper rate.

 

No problem buying train tickets, I buy ours via the Trainline app. Our tickets are always digital ones, so they are safely stored on my phone as are our Railcards with photographic ID's.
Easy, peasy!!

Your journey is all planned out for you, train times, changes, which platforms, and how long you have to wait between any changes. We recently had a journey that required 3 trains each way , it went so smoothly, the longest wait inbetween trains was 2O mins...this allowed time for coffee .

Even during the strikes ( as annoying as it was) they emailed me, with the next available journey.

I can't find fault at all, these days it's nice for us not to have the hassle of driving longer distances.

Even my Hubs is beginning to enjoy our trips!!!

 

Yes, they're not free!! I forget how much , but not a lot and they last a year. Obviously it depends on how much you plan to use it as to whether it's worthwhile.

For us it most definitely is with having our brood up in the London area. One in particular as trying to find a parking space near his apartment is almost impossible!!!

 

Just phone 101, 20 minutes wait to get through!!
One of the question they now ask you, "what would you like done about the problem" me, well it would be nice if the law was enforced!!!!!! been reporting this for over 3 years and nowt's being done!!!!

 

It's a shame that the truth may never be known. It's even more disheartening to see how much money and attention is spent on these cases when it could be used for something more productive. I think we need to focus on finding ways to ensure things like this can be prevented in the future, rather than spending years trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Let's make sure that lessons are learned, and everyone involved is held accountable for their actions. That would be a much better use of time and resources.

 

We have Scotrail here and every train has a conductor who comes around after each station and checks and sells tickets. Not every station has a ticket office. Those that don't have ticket machines but if you don't have a card or the correct type of money (or you are old and not up to the technology) you just buy your ticket on the train. You can even buy your ticket at your destination but how they know where you boarded is anyone's guess.

 

I've just looked it up out of interest, it costs £30 and you have to check locally as to what times you can use it as they vary with location.
You apparently get one third off the usual price.

Obviously not worth bothering with for one or two trips a year but I can see the advantage if you use the rail a lot.

 

About 10 yrs ago I had a workmate who used to go home on the train, he only went about 4 stops and rarely bought a ticket, he just used to keep moving down the train to avoid the conductor, sometimes he got caught mostly he didn't, I guess people like him put the kybosh on buying tickets on the train down here.

 

They are telling you on the TV to not go to A&E but go to a walk in treatment centre instead.

Just looked it up, we dont have any?

 

That's bad Pete, we have one at one of the 3 local NHS Hospitals, 5 miles away. Open 7:30 am - 10pm

 

It says go to my local hospital, which I assume means A&E.
The other hospital mentioned in Sittingbourne says its closed.
