Anna C Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Blast, I hoped this would be in the Easter holidays but it's the very day after school starts. Teenage daughter would have jumped at this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yes that's a shame for a lot of students....sometimes this date would be in the holidays but not this year as Easter is so early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointetoes Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Like Anna I have a DD who would have jumped at this but term starts the day before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Bumping this as public booking has just opened. Balcony downwards, £14 or £12 for the seats with a less good view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulia Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Will Andrei Klemm. It will definitely be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 There are some more, mainly £12, tickets available online at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray! I'll be sitting on a plane to London at that time. Is Wifi available on the trains from Gatwick? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 That depends. The new Thameslinks don't have Wi-Fi (along with quite a few other features you might expect these days for a journey potentially lasting several hours). Southern appear to be rolling out Wi-Fi, but I'm not sure to what extent yet - I've found it on some trains and not others. I can't speak for the Gatwick Express, although I should have thought so.

Petunia Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Thanks Alison. I was thinking Thameslink to St Pancras or Southern to Victoria and then the tube. (Can't afford Gatwick Express - too many performances booked ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I forgot: they're both run by the same parent company: https://www.southernrailway.com/travel-information/on-board/wi-fi-on-board https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/travel-information/on-board/wi-fi-on-board The resident railway geek told me the specs for the new Thameslink trains were pretty low-grade, but perhaps he didn't mention anything about Wi-Fi. They don't have any tables in Standard Class, though - unless there's different rolling stock on the Brighton line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 There is not Alison!! I was very disappointed with the new Thameslink trains as the seats are VERY close together and there are no mini tables built into the back of them .....nice and handy when you have a coffee etc just have to put it on the floor ready to,be knocked over!! The irony is they have just started a new through service from Cambridge to Brighton which lasts over two and a half hours so you could be longer on the Thameslink than on some inter city journeys!!....where the seats are A LOT MORE comfortable!! its all been badly thought out in my view and they are obviously designed by people who NEVER travel by train.....and if I'm wrong I'd like to meet up with the designers very much!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Sorry nothing to do with RB class but that's another gripe....just a bit too early in the morning ( travel cost wise) to get to unless you live in London already. But hope people who can get to it enjoy it it's always a pleasure to see the Professionals in class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know: it's an absolute disgrace. Fortunately, I don't usually have to stay on the wretched things for more than 30 minutes max, but as I said, it's very poor when you consider how long journey times could be - I think there's a new service starting from Maidstone or Gravesend and going to one of the northern termini, too (my mind is boggling at all the stations which will now be served, even occasionally, by Thameslink). And the lighting is very harsh, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it back: I did actually travel on a Thameslink with wi-fi the other day, so I guess it must be being rolled out slowly. Why on earth they still couldn't have included it from the outset, though, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
