    Why doesn't North America have train sheds / pleasant platforms?

    There's nothing remotely art deco about these structures. I share your astonishment.

    Is there a schematic map of passenger rail in the US and Canada?

    I am not sure about anything official, but if you look on Reddit (on r/TransitDiagrams) there are some quite good ones created and submitted by users.

    Visiting former Yugoslavian Republics

    The line does indeed run on the street for a bit, it leads to the container terminal. Then it enters the spiral “Brajdica” tunnel and rejoins the mainline at Sušak-Pećine station.

    Unable to buy tickets for Piaseczno-Grójecka Narrow Gauge Railway (Poland)

    Bank transfer should work, best to use Revolut for that

    Trivia : Are there any stations that have no public exits?

    There is vehicular access from A487 at Glandyfi all the way to the Llyfnant River where there is a kind of a provisional carpark. There are regularly vans parked there but I am not sure if the access road is public access or limited to Network Rail etc. From there, a short railway/footpath...

    Trivia: Unusual fare and ticketing quirks on public transport in other countries.

    I've always thought it is cultural ... They assume you have a ticket until it's obvious you don't. The contrary to what we're used to (presume fare dodging until you produce a ticket). Well, the Severn Bridges only charged westbound for example

    Trivia: Unusual fare and ticketing quirks on public transport in other countries.

    It is certainly allowed to discriminate against certain "wrong" nationalities, this is just how the world works. I'm not saying I agree with it, but it's a reality. You know, for example visa requirements vary wildly depending on what passport you hold. UK doesn't give Commonwealth citizens...

    Trivia: Unusual fare and ticketing quirks on public transport in other countries.

    It used to be possible to pay for buses in Ljubljana (Slovenia) with your phone. You would dial 1899, press call, and hold the phone near the terminal. It would make some old-timey noises (like a dial-up modem) and then the bus fare would appear on your monthly phone bill! This system was also...

    Do you pay twice if you travel between Saint George and Tompkinsville only?

    Manchester – Inverness split suggestions

    Yeah, I’ll have to decide if it’s worth extending my journey for nearly an hour each way (and throwing in another change) for the sake of £40.

    Manchester – Inverness split suggestions

    Northern to Preston, Avanti to Edinburgh, and ScotRail to Inverness. It’s a Manchester-Edinburgh off-peak return (route Avanti&Northern) combined with an Edinburgh-Inverness anytime return (route via Aviemore). There aren’t any cheaper options via Glasgow unfortunately. The combination above...

    Manchester – Inverness split suggestions

    Thanks both for your answer! The forum’s ticketing site only offers the Edinburgh split, it seems to be the only option if I want to avoid advance fares.
