    Bus fares using dynamic pricing

    At least the return of the £2 bus fare cap in January will go some way to negate this!

    XC have been adopting this tactic for years, especially at weekends…!

    "Mini Switzerland" trial - a good use of £12m?

    Unfortunately the TransPeak picks up at Derby Bus Station a good 15 minutes walk from the railway station. A walk at certain times of the day or in the dark can be quite off putting to say the least! I suppose you can break up the walk by popping into the Alexandra or Brunswick for an excellent...

    "Mini Switzerland" trial - a good use of £12m?

    The easiest way to improve connections at both Matlock and Buxton stations is to run the TransPeak Bus every 30 minutes with through train/bus ticketing and extend the hours of operation until 2300.

    Squires Gate to Chesterfield / Sat 8 August

    Seems to be plenty of options on the Railboard app…?

    Stopgap options to cover for delays to introduction of Class 810 for EMR?

    Perhaps buy a return from Sheffield to London and travel via Doncaster and buy a separate ticket Chesterfield - Sheffield or X17 bus to Sheffield? Agree the Tamworth option is far from ideal…!

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    And resulting in having even less room to stand on the train….!

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    Indeed, could someone provide a list of empty MML trains to/from Derby so that I can book on them and have a chance of seat, especially as EMR have got rid of seat reservations….

    £2 Bus Fare Cap - A Commercial Opportunity…?

    Given that the Government has given five months notice of the reduction in the bus fare cap from £3 down to £2 is this a commercial opportunity for bus operators to take advantage of PROVIDED that the subsidy offered to bus operators is sufficient to make up the difference between £2 and what a...

    Special timetable for Open Golf.

    Presumably Northern will completely abandon other Manchester/Lancashire services on Sunday in attempt to find enough volunteer train crew to resource the extra Southport trains?

    Why should I trust rail travel?

    Sadly I would never trust the rail network to go to airport to catch a plane!

    Conwy Valley Line - Time to say good bye?

    I suspect that the rail line is closed more frequently than the Crimea Pass these days. 1782919119 Of course the line shouldn’t be closed but if TfW can’t be bothered to resource the line properly (minimum 2 hourly frequency) and provide a reliable, usable service then maybe it’s better being...
