To clarify- WY Metro issue the normal disabled card to the same person who has the companion pass. Thus, that person has 2 cards. The companion pass is used in the WY Metro area and allows any companion to travel with them. The normal pass is used by the disabled person outside the WY Metro...

I am aware that WY Metro know there's an issue with the companion bus passes as if you request they will issue you a duplicate normal disabled pass for use outside of the WY Metro area where a companion is not valid and these passes tend to work a lot better around the country

My Leeds blind pass often does not work outside of the WY Metro area. I once had a very angry bus driver in Birmingham who would not let me on when the pass failed. Once he realised it was a blind pass he immediately backed down and let me on, but his attitude before was poor as my pass was...

On a recent Cross Country trip from Bristol to York, we were offered hot drinks not long after boarding. Since we had a long journey we asked if there was any food and were then offered quite a selection including bacon roll and sandwiches. No one in our coach was offered food so had we not...

I had to use Mirfield last Saturday around 6:30pm. The shelter on the platform was full so my party of 6 people mostly filled the shelter on the adjoining platform. But that meant I could not see the departure board so had to go out and around to read it! It's an interesting doused station now...

At times it does seem trains sit at platform 4 for quite some time. 1752246412 Also a local, despite my user name!, it could be chicken and egg situation. Improve the train service and more will use it. A one hour service can put people off, if you just miss your train back to Scarborough...

Can platform 4 be used to hold through trains to stop them clogging up 3 and 5? The York / Bridlington service sometimes sits there instead of platform 1

Well it appears the new station at Haxby has got the go ahead from the government https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/funding-announced-for-new-station-on-scarborough-to-york-rail-line/ I would think half hourly trains for at least part of the day will be needed on the line as...
