@xsentinel3044 2 года назад

One of the easiest facts you forgot to mention is the whole line is a loop with many more mini loops in between. I believe SE HS operate full loop down to Ramsgate via Ashford and Dover Priory and then come up back via the Chatham Mainline

Another fact: On the class 395's if you require the disabled facilities and they have not made an announcement on which end of the train this is located, as the train is approaching if you look at the nose of the train and see what looks like yellow headlights they are on the front of the train if not then start walking to the back as it will be on the last car.

@@trainsonthebrain No problem was told by a SE platform staff member if you look at the video thumb nail and at 0:04 into the video you can see them, at 0:04 they are next to the mask sticker on the nose. Makes is so much easier rather then watching the train go by looking for an orange sticker then having to run to the ether end of the train with some one in a wheel chair

@petitkruger2175 3 года назад

my local operator lol. It’s weird how govia owns southern and southeastern, yet southeastern is so much better

@trainsonthebrain 3 года назад

Cheers NK! Indeed, Govia’s portfolio is quite varied in terms of different brands and services and also in terms of passenger satisfaction it seems. I’ve nothing against them personally, but I don’t think the rebrand to ‘Southern’ to hark back to the old days has worked as well as the gWr rebrand for instance. Interesting. You’ll enjoy the next video in this series by the way, watch this space.
