    Not for some time now. with just two Stagecoach routes serving March now, and no schedules appear to start or end there so theres nothing to stable there. The depot is presently up for sale - https://www.montagu-evans.co.uk/properties/300176/

    Penalty Fare for Starting Short on Off-Peak Day Return

    Was it a paper ticket (i.e. from a ticket machine) that was bought? If so then this will have on it the station code (1035) to identify point of issue, as well as the time of transaction.

    Class 317 withdrawals.

    Ticket offices offering split tickets

    I would not expect a ticket office to suggest splits, or other ways to obtain a cheaper fare (such as making use of positive easements) but likewise do expect them to sell me what I ask for when I present my requests. If more than two elements I tend to present a "shopping list", for which they...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    RTT (yes fully aware that its not always 100% accurate) suggests that 2F02 was the first to use the Up Slow (as normally booked) and cleared this area, arriving early at Surbiton, although it did then there sit there for twenty five minutes. 2L10 was then the first to use the Up Fast. Times...

    Woman Gets £480 Bill For Putting Feet On Seats.

    Regardless of what we think of MerseyRail for what they do and don't enforce, good on them for pursuing this. If this was enforced more widely (and more cases were then made public) then it might help to make it even more anti-social than it is, and should reduce the occurrences. See it...
