    Colne Valley Railway

    @50002Superb thank you for your post. Although we cannot extend the line we have a number of plans in place to add to the visitor experience, both for the enthusiast and the families that make up the largest part of our visitors. Like most railways the constraints are finance and volunteers...

    Bus services that enter private property (except shopping centres/supermarkets/works only)

    A quirky one from around 20 years ago. There was a major fire on one of the roads serving Walthamstow Bus station which affected bus routes for some time..

    Colne Valley Railway

    You say you found that it is diesel day so I presume you located the timetable page on the web site. If you mean "what times do the trains run" they are every half hour from 10:30, with a lunch break As to motive power, I don't know if any railway that tend to post the daily roster in advance...

    Are Paper Bus Timetables still in your area?

    Although back in December @Bedford OB listed Sanders as a company still issuing paper tt s I had not seen any for some time. There I was pleased when I caught a coast hopper bus this afternoon to see new leaflets in a rack on the Sanders bus for the coast hopper and the 44 series of buses.

    “Bus storage yard” fire, Essex

    I can save you the time. I first saw this on a local Facebook page with one "expert" saying from the colour of the smoke these are not diesel buses and therefore are EV's. The thread then went into a series if anti EV posts.

    Why I avoid e-tickets

    With 11 pages in this thread, apologies if this has come up before. I am a fan of e-tickets but always print them out as soon as I purchase them. What I would appeal is an app that catered for the nostalgia market and allowed you to print your ticket in a previous format. The airline style...

    ENCTS and paper receipts

    When did ENTCS reimbursement change from the actual journey to a flat rate and did this affect the issue of ticket issuing? I can recall reading of comments in the early days about people being issued with tickets valid beyond their stated destination.
