Yup! I’m still going to Swansea from Birmingham - this time courtesy of a pair of TfW 153s - had the hotel and travel booked so may as well do something! (Although it’s very bleak here today)

This entirely - I work full time so have no real reason to claim benefits, but, I also have Crohn’s disease and mental health issues and would benefit from a disabled railcard - if my Crohn’s is bad a flexible ticket is much more preferable to an advance ticket - but is much more expensive so...

LNER, the few times they've organised taxis at Newcastle, have said that if you want to do your own thing and book one to claim it back afterwards, otherwise they'll book one themselves for you, but it'll take longer.

Journey time outbound + Journey Time inbound + outbound turnaround (timetable planning rules) + inbound turnaround (timetable planning rules) let’s you work out a full round trip time. Now if the turn around at the origin can be accommodated before the next scheduled departure that set can be...

I passed through with a colleague who doesn’t normally use Piccadilly and they commented on it being a good idea so it’s being well received by the regular traveller too it’s an idea I would like to see expanded

Locking the doors is out the question due to the obvious safety risk should something happen requiring passengers to no longer be onboard the train

Someone tried that with me once, I knew they were doing it and stopped purposely stopped mid barrier, cue the person shouting at me to move and attracting the attention of the gateline staff - at which point I continued, leaving them all having a discussion. Honestly talking to staff locally -...

I also suspect things like “this is ticket machine xxx at xxx station, this is how I connect to the internet and the back office” would need to be configured uniquely too, additionally for the size of the operation it might be easier to send generic drives that can go in any machine - that way...
