Christ, that's going to get confusing in itself! You need to find a more comfortable one then! There are by now many different styles and patterns and manufacturers, I'd be surprised if you didn't find at least one that was comfortable. Then why are lots of countries doing it? What is the...

Platform 6 at Wolverhampton. Only really useful to start a service going North, I don't think it's possible to send a train into that platform in passenger service!

IIRC: The first posters/signs were made before the laws were passed (as they were only passed one day before they came into effect I think?) and at the time there was a lot of uncertainty as to whether it meant in stations or just on trains. Then it was clarified the law said just on trains...

I went from Harwich - Hoek van Holland last weekend and it was really good, lots of measures in place. Felt a lot safer and more relaxed than an airport!

I think some people are thinking that the OP could have tried to only enter three of those four dates, then travel on a fifth (e.g. if they didn't fill in 31st on day 3, they could fill in the 1st as the fourth day of validity, then the 2nd as a fifth day) Personally, I don't think that's...

Nobody is forcing the RMT to write this... er... should I say, human waste. Guaranteed this article will do little to improve the current situation beyond the measures already in place! And if it's "ok" for them to spread lies just to get one up on the Government, then...

People are certainly entitled to their views but it is more the way the message is put across. I would say my own views but I fear getting immediately shot down in flames on this forum!! I think the course we have taken has not been overly strict considering where we are, and we are now in a...

Agree it sounds wrong, 1Z99 seems like it was deployed first but had to come from Crewe, then 1Z98 first described as 0Z98 left Mountsorrel but later described in reports as 1Z98...

I would think of it from the perspective of a person on the train looking sideways out of the window directly at the platform (no cheating looking round curves etc!), so they would see the end point of one platform then see the start point of the next, from a fixed point on the train (so in...

Worth noting (as it is just one word in the article) that it is the opposite of what we would consider normal - there is a bus replacement during the week but a normal service on the weekend!

Got caught out on C2C's odd calling patterns, hoping to go from West Ham to Barking or Upminster but ended up in Laindon! I think it was Laindon, there were about seven of us that made the same mistake and had to beg at the barriers to be let across the other side to a train back into London...

Had my haircut today, texted to book an appointment in the week but not needed really, the main differences were they had screens inbetween the chairs (like the pop-up roller banners, but clear plastic), they had a UV sanitising box to put the scissors, comb, etc in between customers, I was...

Try LTFares - it seems to work for a random station I picked - Stratford DLR: https://www.ltfares.com/!fares?orig=DLSTD&dest=NRLTN

Stratford - North London Line - Canonbury curve to Finsbury Park. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/35120/2020-07-02/detailed

Surely it depends on the type of ticket you have? If you have a single or return ticket, or a carnet, on a smartcard, you NEED to touch in or out. Otherwise your journey will never be "used up" and you could reuse the ticket again and again. With a season ticket, there is not the need, but if...
