@swtrains_watch @Heidi_Labour @SW_Help This. Almost every time the early-morning (620) FRM-WIN train is delayed/shunted through St Denys, I know I'll be turfed off at EST because of station skipping to scramble for another train. Bonus points if it's tipping down with rain.

Station skipping: the classic trick to fix the data while stranding passengers. 📉💨 In this ‘public ownership’ era, the DfT is effectively marking its own homework. As for the regulator? An expensive 'do not disturb' sign. 🛑 Who's in charge @Heidi_Labour? @SW_Help

@SW_Help Hi -- why is the 1122 WIN-FRM running fast past WIN? Will the 1222WIN-FRM still call at WIN? Thanks!

@British_Airways Hi -- what's happened with all of your flights between LHR and Stuttgart?

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help Yeah, that was the 653 out of FRM that was right behind the delayed 620.

@AugustaAtrox @SW_Help At first glance it seems a bit extreme to skip Winchester but I see a service departing soon after from Eastleigh. Not so great for those heading to Micheldever though. Do remember to claim delay repay where applicable!

@SW_Help Hi -- how come the 620 FRM-WAT didn't stop at Botley or Hedge End (shunted to St Denys, and then skipped my stop at WIN -- magical morning commute...)? @swtrains_watch

@SW_Help Many thanks for the quick reply -- we didn't get any info aside from 'We're now going to St Denys' and the list of stops cancelled due to running fast onwards to WAT.

@AugustaAtrox Hey there. Unfortunately this train has an amended calling pattern due to an earlier signalling issue. My sincere apologies for the disruption. ^CW

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help Thanks for the advice! I still have all my receipts, so I'll have a go...

@AugustaAtrox @SW_Help I'm sorry to hear about your journey earlier today. Email customerrelations@swrailway.com with details of the events that happened, cite the Consumer Rights Act and the taxi fare as a consequential loss. Do let us know how you get on.

@SW_Help @swtrains_watch In fact, I ended up going to FRM station and buying a ticket on the back of someone from @SW_Help saying the 653 was running :( and then ending up with a taxi as I've got to teach this morning.

@SW_Help Yes, but all of the trains coming up from Portsmouth/DRM were also cancelled this morning due to the overrunning works (620, 653, 720 -- forcing me to a taxi to get to WIN in time for work) @swtrains_watch

@swtrains_watch @BTP @gceccles To be honest, I feel a bit OTT for filing the report...I'll probs just do my best to avoid this muppet in future...

@AugustaAtrox @BTP @gceccles Please do keep us updated and well done for reporting to the BTP. Again, I'm sorry that this has happened to you.

Thanks, guy who physically shoulder-checked me on the platform this morning, so he could get on the train ahead of me. This isn't the 1st time, either. I've switched trains b/c of this bully in the past, & great to see I'll have to change again... @SW_Help @swtrains_watch

@AnthonyFurnival @SW_Help @swtrains_watch @BTP Yep -- form filled out last Friday - I see this person when I commute, but he doesn't do anything if others are around. My plan is to avoid him as much as poss.

@BTP @gceccles Many thanks -- I did report it last Friday via the BTP form online, and I have a case number. (I also let the station manager know). He's still there every morning, but if I keep away from him, he ignores me, at least. @swtrains_watch

@gceccles @AugustaAtrox We agree! If you haven't already, please report this us via text on 61016, on the Railway Guardian app or by calling us on 0800 405040.

@BTP @AnthonyFurnival I sent in a report via the online form last Friday. I have a case number.

@AnthonyFurnival @AugustaAtrox We're sorry this happened to you. If you haven't reported this, we urge you to do so by texting us at 61016.

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help Yep -- the lesson here seems to be, let him on the train 1st, or get hit/shoved/physically intimidated. He waited til the men had got on, then shoved me as I tried to get on. It speaks volumes, I think.

@AugustaAtrox @SW_Help Awful, entitled behaviour, presumably with the intention to intimidate. Quite possibly a sign of someone trying to compensation for their own inadequacies. If you feel able to, call him out, subtly if you like but let others know what he's just done. He'll probably back down.

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help I called him out on it last year the 1st time he did it (it's usually whilst trying to board the train); he's a big guy, & honestly, I do not want to engage with him or have him anywhere near me.

@HershamBoySteve @swtrains_watch @SW_Help This is an adult, clearly dressed for work, as well.

@HershamBoySteve @swtrains_watch @SW_Help Yep -- I've seen him plenty of times -- doesn't pull this stunt with men. He's done this to me a couple of times now - back last December and then again today.

@Onebiskuit @swtrains_watch @SW_Help It was a really big he, and I'm a small she. He let 3 guys go in front of him (he was trying to budge in the queue), but shoulder-checked me. Hmmm...I don't want him anywhere near me!

@swtrains_watch @SW_Help Not just an elbow -- this was a full on, deliberate shoulder check. Not the first time this guy has physically moved me out of his way, but the 1st time physcially thumping me so hard that I lost my balance at the train doors. He let on 3 or 4 men, then shoulder-checked me.

@AugustaAtrox @SW_Help I feel your pain. I was elbowed in the chest by someone who wanted to race me up the stairs at Woking station. Train travel seems to bring out unsavoury behaviour in some passengers. Maybe time to learn martial arts?
