Good news on the firms who are going to be running the service in future. In the meantime, a slight change of topic (from the macro to the micro), but am I alone in my experience on dodgy tickets in FH?
The last few monthly train tickets I've bought at Forest Hill don't actually work in the turnstiles/ticket barriers at FH - they're fine at L Bridge/Cannon St/Charing X, but not in the station where I bought them. I put the first one down to an anomaly, but it's been consistent since (I complained this morning and was given a second ticket which didn't work).
Am gathering information before I send a mail to Southern in case I am sending them on a wild goose chase.
