    SWR cracking down on Vauxhall - Waterloo doughnuts/short fares - Also GTR

    I doubt it. Yes for some, but the majority are hardened through the thrill and the justice in their eyes of not paying. I knew people that used to call the bendy buses in London "the free bus" not because they couldn't afford a bus fare, just they didn't, in their eyes, feel any need to pay for it

    SWR cracking down on Vauxhall - Waterloo doughnuts/short fares - Also GTR

    Aside from money saving as mentioned above, the most common correlation seems to be people who suffer from anxiety based on a lot of the posts in the disputes and prosecutions section

    Stations rebranded to Great British Railways design / Rail Alphabet 2 & 3

    And it just seems out of proportion to afford the same space to a train image (where people want to get to) and to a stairs image (nothing to do with what they want, just a hurdle on the way)

    Stations rebranded to Great British Railways design / Rail Alphabet 2 & 3

    Stairs showing on every row though gets repetitive and wastes space

    Flam Railway

    If you are going on a cruise then I recommend taking the package. We thought we'd get off early from the ship and just buy a ticket on the railway rather than the overpriced on board sale but there wasn't a single departure available before the ship left again

    Great British Railways - First Train in New Livery

    Likewise I read it somewhere yesterday. Think it said first 6 are defo SWR but could change to GBR from the seventh

    Bi-mode Lines

    IIRC it used to be used a fair bit to get 313s off the DC and up to Bletchley where they were maintained.

    Thameslink PIS system is terrible

    Take a Sevenoaks starter from Blackfriars, hear the "We are now approaching Denmark Hill" and count how many minutes later it actually reaches the station!

    Farringdon station closing to Thameslink due to engineering work on Metropolitan line

    I travelled on the Elizabeth line to Farringdon this morning. The on board screens and announcements still said to change for trains to Luton and Gatwick, nothing heard from the driver. Also the Barbican end exit from the platforms was also closed with no warning.

    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway: should they have been 7 cars, and could capacity be improved?

    Agreed. We're a special bunch. My wife would tell me she travelled on a new train based on whether the carpets were cleaned and wouldn't be able to tell me after flying whether she'd been on an Airbus or Boeing

    Zipcar to close UK operations

    They are definitely the biggest but there are others like Enterprise Car Club and Virtuo. There used to be Ubeeqo too which shuttered a few years ago.

    Euston station carriage space indicator

    Ah thank you! Makes sense

    Euston station carriage space indicator

    Strange it doesn't show letters, you'd have to look at the screen, count the number of coaches from the rear to your assessed target on the screen and then do the same count again once on the platform
