I've given up arguing about the ticketing, as no-one's listening. I know. It's my job to write the WTT - Well, Freight paths anyway...

To await a path...

Correct. But the only reason these sets are stopping is to drop off the 67 and to await a path. We were discussing this in the office and the implication of putting these onto the middle roads at Carlisle - Would it make a difference or not, or if the enthusiasts would pipe up...

No - Because you've booked on that service, then that revenue will go to East Coast. If you booked on a Northern service, the revenue would go to Northern. I see what I've done here - Slight confusion (My apology). Tyne Valley rovers aren't valid. I was made to buy a full NCL-CAR return at...

Set Down. Just like the Scotrail sleeper does at Preston. It's not supposed to pick people up or drop them off. All depends what went into TRUST - I'm guessing STP Scotland team at Network Rail put the paths with the stop as a timing point. I understand your skepticism, but technically...

Try not to get caught out. 67's only run THIS Saturday. It'll be Sundays afterwards. And no, I'm not telling you where I'm getting my shot...

...And here's me thinking you were on about Translator coaches / wagons. :oops:

Less of the animosity, please. If I had put my bit in, it would be void. I had some form of input to one of the bids - But I'm not going to rattle on about my employment for the past few months. Did the public know it was up for grabs? How many passengers knew about the entire system?

No - Because I did not know about them. Much like another 140,000 who also didn't know about them either...

OBB Railjet but with IC70 seats :D

DfT followed procedure. The most cash = Franchise. Much like you would on eBay. It does need an overhaul. It's all great offering it to the highest bidder, but what would happen to the services? The staff? Facilities? I don't think they look far enough - and come to think about it, the public...

Who gives a flying F**k? TV Producers don't make shows for enthusiasts, they make it for the mass market. Stop picking holes and ruining it for yourself (and more likely others...)

The epetition isn't based on lies. Besides, what have Virgin offered in their bid? I'd actually like to see what you lot would be like, given you were in his situation.

Correct - As most of the European TOC's are a member of RailTeam. I believe it is required to do 2 announcements, one either in French or English.

There are no 'Free' sites. You could join a Gen group, if you wanted to. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/midlands-gen/ <--- This is the Midlands Gen Group. Otherwise you could pay to join Freightmaster, or have a look for one of their books. There are some older copies at preserved railways or...
