    Could someone please let me know which classes of rolling stock are used on which of Northern and ScotRail’s routes?

    Northern generally can vary as a lot of their DMUs can operate interchangeably, and with such a wide network, it will be a long post to say what can/does operate each route and I could list 100s of permutations of routes and traction.

    Offal - why are less-desirable cuts of meat more expensive?

    My other half and I talk about this quite regularly. She's Bajan/Jamaican, and we love Oxtail Stew, but it's become so expensive with it becoming gentrified.

    Sign language on train route information displays (and station departure boards)

    Altered Railcard - Request for Interview

    Personally I'd add something along the lines of 'As previously mentioned, I will now of course make sure to check my railcard before travelling, and I have took the proactive step to add a reminder on my phone to renew my railcard before its expiry' after '...once the letter is received', just...
