Ratings and Reviews

App stuck and can't purchase tickets.

I was able to make a purchase of one ticket which several times to do before it finally submitted. When I tried to do another purchase, I clicked tickets, picked my time and then hit buy now and kept being taken back to the results from my previous purchase. Tried refreshing, reload downloading the app and neither of that worked. Giving up on the app

It is impossible to delete or remove a ticket added to the basket. Worst experience.

Worst App Ever

I do t know where to begin. I would say that monkeys wrote this app, but that would be an insult to monkeys. When you click on 'tickets' to purchase your tickets, the app rarely finds a route even though the app itself has selected a route to and from your destination. After the app says it cannot find a route, it wants you to re-enter your travel info on a completely different screen. Once you do so, the app hangs and you have to exit the app and start this loop all over again. If, by some miracle, you advance after you click the tickets button to put in your seat preferences, etc., once you enter your email address and click "continue as guest", the app hangs. Why yes, I have tried registering. The app does not think my phone number is legitimate, which means you cannot register. I am trying to buy round trip tickets to Exeter. The app has been hung for the last 34 minutes. In 10 days (I installed the app 10 days ago), I have only been able to purchase tickets once. Horrible piece of work.

Southeastern announces shortlist to supply ‘modern trains for a modern network’

By Rail Business UK 2024-05-15T13:44:00+01:00

Southeastern Networker EMU

UK: Southeastern has shortlisted five bidders for a contract to supply a fleet of 750 V DC third rail electric multiple-units for use on its ‘Metro’ network of suburban services in southeast London and Kent.

• Siemens Mobility ;

Announcing the shortlist on May 15, the state-run operator said this ‘could be the largest investment in Southeastern for decades’. It hopes the fleet replacement would reduce subsidy requirements by cutting energy, maintenance and repair costs and encouraging more people to travel by train.

The invitation to negotiate covers the supply of new, refurbished or cascaded rolling stock, with details, numbers and timescales to be developed during the next stage of the procurement process. Southeastern expects the EMUs will be financed through a leasing company, and wants deliveries ‘as soon as possible’.

The operator’s ambitions include better accessibility to maximise unassisted travel, brighter and more spacious interiors, air-conditioning, improved passenger information, better reliability, faster acceleration and braking and onboard batteries to keep trains running in the event of power supply failure as well as enhancing safety in stations, depots and sidings.

Southeastern Managing Director Steve White said ‘we will continue to provide toilets onboard our rolling stock, because we know that is important to our customers’, and acknowledged that the provision of level boarding would require working with Network Rail to address varying platform heights and curvatures on the network.

White said ‘we are pushing forward with our plans to develop our Metro operation into a high-performing railway’, and ‘we want to boldly go where other operators have already gone to provide modern trains for a modern network’.

He said ’we are working at pace, with our partners at Network Rail, to improve performance, expand our timetable, enhance our stations and increase staffing levels. The final piece of the jigsaw will be the replacement of our aging Metro fleet.

‘Despite the sterling work of our people to keep our current Metro fleets in service, our customers will know only too well that many of the trains are tired and, in terms of accessibility and customer facilities, have fallen behind what is available elsewhere on the Southeastern network and across the country.’
