I am known

to be cynical at times.
Looking at booking a train journey from Fareham to Worcester.

The cheapest trains around the time i want all have a yellow warning symbol against them ,HOWEVER the dearer trains both before and after the cheaper trains DO NOT have this symbol.

The warnings are because of Electrification work around Bristol,but how come it only affects the cheaper trains???

Scheduled work for certain times and the reduction in the price of the train ticket reflects a disruption to the service?

LOL, Vic, the last time I looked on National Train Enquiries, to research a train from here one stop up the line to Tisbury, EVERYTHING was showing a Yellow warning! :shock:

It was the day of the Prince Harry / Megan Markle wedding …… expect overcrowding.

London to Windsor I can understand, but for rural Dorset? :lol:

Welcome to regular commuting from where I live into London - not many days that go by without that little yellow warning.... and it's usually always for the same thing; track issues in one particular spot that lead to spead restrictions.

It's all a big joke to the train companies I think
