Forgive me if I am wrong BUT until the muppets that award the train franchises changed it from SWT to SWR (the same company that runs Southern) in August 2017 the service was OK with limited issues but now we are having the same issues that Southern had with strikes over removal of guards, now don't want to be cynical but I find that amazing that these strikes started happening......

Why o why did they change the Franchisee (probably money!) will they never learn? (Rhetorical!)

Nah Govia owns Southern. First Group owns SWR (with a whack of Chinese govt cash as well) after taking over from Stagecoach when it failed to negotiate a contract extension.

I'd like to point out I only know this because I wanted to make sure I knew who to be angry at.

Hmmm....those prices for food and drink are a bit different to the Stoop!
Looks great fun, I'll bear it in mind.
