    Ticketing from stations outside Greater Manchester including validity on the trams

    But the free bus no longer picks up/sets down at Victoria. Shudehill interchange is the nearest stop five minutes walk away if you know where you are going and don’t get run over by cars, vans, buses or trams en-route…!

    New Menai Bridge proposed, should it have a rail aspect?

    Purely academic, can anyone realistically think that even the third road bridge will actually materialise…?

    Wrexham Central effectively closed for 2 months…

    TfW have just announced that virtually all trains between Wrexham Central and Wrexham General will be withdrawn from 10 October for 2 months owing to the introduction of a ‘leaf fall’ timetable. I know the two stations are not far apart but it appears that there will be no rail replacement...

    Merseyrail Tap & Go

    I think you may have inadvertently added to the confusion for non regular rail users…!

    TfW PAYG - North Wales

    A day out to Llandudno or Conwy is much better! Presumably to split ticket you would need to touch out at Rhyl and drop back a train and buy a separate day return Rhyl to Llandudno ?

    Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway updates

    1790787633 Probably don’t want to release bad news during the Labour/Government conference week. Clearly with endless Nationalisation announcements taking place the last thing they want is an entrepreneurial open access operator…

    Cheadle station

    Presumably the new station on the single track section would scupper any chance introducing 2 passenger trains per hour between Chester/Greenbank and Stockport…?

    Stations with poor facilities of an evening

    Problem is that the huge, but impressive Sheffield Interchange is actually devoid of many buses, as most services in Sheffield don’t operate from it!

    Stations with poor facilities of an evening

    Wakefield Kirkgate is even worse….!

    EMR weird stopping patterns

    The 2232 Ex Sheffield stops at Belper to drop off passengers, I have used it a few times and there has always been a few other passengers alighting. It also allows a later return to Matlock by catching the last 6.1 bus from Belper.

    Stations with poor facilities of an evening

    Derby, impossible to get something as simple as a coffee after 7pm, either in the station or within 10 minutes walk of it! There are some rather good pubs near the station mind you….! There are a plethora of kebab shops, Asian restaurants and ‘convenience’ stores nearby but you can’t get a...

    Cross-operator ticket acceptance announced (excluding East Midlands Railway, OAOs) when services are cancelled

    I have screen shotted the official announcement and kept it on my phone for when I encounter a ‘jobsworth’ I also have a screen shot confirming that when using a day ranger/rover ticket you can link it to a ticket to/from the boundary station even if the train passes without stopping this has...

    £2 Fare Cap from January - Time for nationwide contactless/tap & go?

    With the reduction in the bus fare price cap to £2 being implemented in January 2027, is it time to introduce a simple, contactless tap and go payment scheme on all bus services? No need to ask the fare, simply tap on when you board the bus, no tickets issued, no cash taken on board the bus...

    Northern Explorer for 2 persons; valid for one to travel alone?

    Although the guard did have the guts to apologise which is good to see..

    TPE replaces Northern for York to Leeds local service?

    Far too sensible a solution to the problem hence why it probably won’t be adopted!
