Correct. Couldn't a bloke walk into a woman only carriage and claim to be gender fluid or non binary or something - I wouldn't want to be the enforcer of the rules in that scenario. Anyway, in my opinion it's such a bad idea and incredibly archaic. Punishments need to be tough enough to stop...

There are plans to build a Designer Outlet village on the outskirts of Tewkesbury, less than half a mile from Ashchurch Station and with a free shuttle bus linking the 2. I'm not sure how popular it would be, these outlet villages are everywhere now and many have been established for decades...

Also Ashchurch for Tewkesbury - we catch the bus from the Town Centre which takes 8-10 minutes. There are 4 buses an hour.

Weather was nice this morning so I jumped on the 9:56 and all went well. It was in the front coach, Coach C I believe. I had it in my head that the cycle sign would be blue, but it was red which threw me for a second. Had a nice cycle up to Droitwich with the intention of catching the train...

Brilliant, Thank you guys. FGW's site mentioned a cycle symbol, but it didn't say where it would be - as long as I know to look on the outside of the train I should be ok.

Hi All, I wish to take my bicycle on a train from Ashchurch to Worcester. It will be an off peak FGW train (possibly a Sprinter? - I'm unsure of the exact type). FGW's website is not overly clear, so I was hoping if anyone could advise on which carriage I will need to get on? I have...

I don't really think it has much (if anything) to do with the lack of a return train - although I do think one should have been put on, or stopped at Wembley as mentioned above. There are all sorts of other issues as well: Wigan is a relatively small town surrounded by bigger towns with there...

Sorry, I hadn't read the thread on the other forum - it does seem likely then that the driver weaved the barriers. Interesting read on Gary Hart - I can remember Selby, but was in my mid teens so never really knew much about it.

Agree completely. Level crossings seem very safe to me if used correctly. I realise that on this occasion it could be due to a rear shunt, but it seems that with half barriers, a lot of deaths are down to people trying to dart between them. In my opinion, If you choose to ignore flashing red...

Quite. One of the main reasons people seem to have against it, is the uncertainty of not knowing how close it will come to your property, or if you will need to sell up and move. Just compulsory purchase the land and build it I say.

Firstly, Tesco were on Watchdog this week for advertising a price (e.g mayo @ £1.69) and charging a higher price (£1.99 in this case). Asda will be on Watchdog next week for similar things. So imagine a scenario where the public does become angry with the split ticketing situation - Anne...

That's a great deal, and one day I shall be on it (one day!!). I was quite impressed with the Ashchurch - Torquay single for £7.50 I got, only obtainable with the help of this forum. Made the journey last week, and very nice it was too, along the seawall at Dawlish.

The City of London is the smallest with a station. That square mile in the middle has City Status, as does Westminster, but the rest does not. Greater London could easly be seen as a county, albeit a very large, densely populated one (In fact Greater London has had a status similar to that of...

Another vote for Gloucester - it smells, and its full of tramps and druggies when the sun sets. Last time we intended to use it our train was late and we missed the bus, there was another in an hour, but we took one look at the 'clientelle' and opted for a taxi. It is set to be demolished along...

Ludlow has 7 Mainline - Ludlow, Craven Arms, Church Stretton, Broome, Hopton Heath, Bucknell and Knighton (although the town is in Wales, the station is in Shropshire) and 4 on the Severn Valley Railway (Bridgnorth, Hampton Loade, Country Park and Highley), although that might be cheating seen...
