no the 47 doesn't, the 2 closest bus stops are closed for the week

maybe they are expecting a lot of people to change train at south parkway and so want them straight through to hillside, to keep the pressure off central and lime street

you have to beware when talking about journeys, because each leg of a trip is a journey on the stats, so a delivery van dropping a parcel off and then going 100 yards to drop the next is a journey, and overall a single van might be doing 200 < 1 mile journeys and 2 > 5 mile journeys a day, but...

I think one of the biggest things to help would be when ordering new rolling stop, always order 10% more, as regularly the new rolling stock fills up a lot more than expected or we decide we need more services now and then we run out of rolling stock again, which takes years to resolve, this is...

even worse than that, most entries/exits will be on area/zone day saver tickets, so could be for any station on merseyrail or just any within liverpool city council area etc. Just a big guess, although they have ticket barriers so the estimates are probably pretty good. but...

not as much as you think, it regularly has 4 platforms in use of the 6 platforms it has

not really as they don't have many interests in the middle east (as most of them are national suppliers), and so the remaining suppliers get more money and so their shares increase

but does the MPC count any failures of the electric infrastructure against the train, as to passengers they are basically equivalent, in that their train isn't working, otherwise all you are doing is splitting a technical failure between 2 different things, the generator and the user, of which...

you do have to be a bit careful here, as there will be some supposedly travelling from liverpool central to edinburgh as well, (there are to the 2 glasgow stations), so the numbers aren't perfect for station to station where stations are grouped together like liverpools are, (maybe edinburgh's...

they're very close to espresswaying the whole thing with 1 junction left outside of london and only 2 within it, so solve the one outside london and it will probably be as good as it ever gets then

I've seen one of them where the cafe was literally moving into a bigger premises next door

I think part of the problem with the government funding it with a loan is that if this extra loan causes even a 0.1% increase in overall borrowing costs, then the cost for the borrowing is not say 5% on 10 billion, but is 5% on 10B and 0.1% on 1T, and so the costs are significantly higher than...

but what about going via gloucester which is used when the severn tunnel goes down, would that count as a separate valid route

"hub and spoke" is also not that great unless the hub is really the centre of attention for an area, like london is. what you really want is "beads on a string", so most places can access each other, or you need multiple connections across the spokes depending on how long they are. a lot of car...

seems to be happening as a massive construction compound is being setup just outside penrith for highways england as to the route the settle route is by far the nicest. Mainly because you are changing at a reasonably quiet station instead of one of the huge city centre ones
