My family would at one point have been 2 adults and 3 children aged 11 12 and 13. Others may have yet more children with them. How does such a group travel in a contactless card system without a wallet full of separate cards?

I'm booked with an Advance ticket on the 15.43 EMR service from Sheffield to Manchester Piccadilly tomorrow, Saturday 18th April. EMR's website, updated at 19.35, says they expect to run services as normal from Saturday morning. Network Rail's announcement talks about an amended timetable. My...

Expresses from London calling at Stockport are definitely going to stop at Manchester Piccadilly!

If you hold an anytime single ticket from Stockport to Manchester Piccadilly, and you hop on a set down only train, would anyone try to intervene on your 9 minute journey?

"I wanted to call it the Gulf of Trump"

Is Trump trying to "achieve" the subjugation of Greenland, and the acquisition of a historic 51st State, in time for the July 4th 250th Anniversary? Whilst conveniently distracting from those troublesome Epstein files?

I don't know what you have done in terms of employment before, but people can get boxed in by assumptions about things they would not consider themselves capable of. There are, in most parts of the country, a huge range of options in care settings, working with all sorts of people in various...

If you search on Civil, rather than Criminal, there are at least 4 cases listed today at Wick. Criminal "custody cases" can be added in ad-hoc whenever convenient for the Court.

Whilst in the past I have been issued with tickets to Manchester Stations, this one is not. It states only, and specifically, Manchester Oxford Road. If it said Manchester Stations I would have happily hopped off at Deansgate, and not bothered the Forum with the question, but as I have...

The bail will relate to the first (criminal) case that called today. They attended Court, and asked for an adjournment, which was granted, with a new intermediate diet set for January and trial diet set for February. As they had turned up at Court, the conditional bail that they were already...

Can anyone (without endangering their employment) point to where such guidelines have been made available to the public?

Thanks for your proactive concern for my consumer rights, but honestly, I'm not complaining, with a ticket price of £2.65 from Lancaster, a chance to see the remarkable architecture of Oxford Road Station, a pint in a Manchester landmark pub and a free bus back to Castlefield/Deansgate, all...

Thanks for the sound advice all round! Given that my objective is to transfer from train to tram, perhaps a nostalgic visit to check that The Salisbury is still standing at the foot of the Oxford Road steps, followed by a free bus ride to Deansgate/Castlefield, would be best.....

Looks like that would cost me £2.05, which takes the gloss off my £2.65 Lancaster to Manchester triumph, and apparently introduces a whole new level of peril with the possibility of being interviewed under caution and reported for investigation for short faring by trying to exit from the wrong...
