Summary

It’s a railway special from Britain’s railway station, Clapham Junction. What the heck is Great British Railways, and what will it mean for passengers?


Split-ticketing and other money-saving tips. I’ll be leaving Clapham Junction on a train to Southampton. So of course I bought, perfectly legally, a ticket from Brighton.


And the latest from Grant Shapps on that Green List.
