That wasn't actually the report I'm working on yorkie, but a very similar one (with a slightly narrower term of reference) they have initiated themselves. A bit like splitting hairs mind!!

Indeed it was me! I was heading from Sheffield to Meadowhall (not for shopping, but to watch some sport at the nearby SHU Sports Park though!), and after missing my intended yellow route Supertram service from Hillsborough, instead took a blue service to Sheffield Station and made up time by...

I also travel with my bike for leisure, mostly catching the train home at the end of a ride. Thus having a 2 hour cut off for compulsory reservations is impractical - if nothing else one never knows when you may have a mechanical! I am considerably less knowledgeable on the mechanics of...

Hi yorkie, sorry for taking a few days to reply after you sent your PM to me. I'd agree with many posts above and say that TM Travel tend to send whatever they wish most of the time! I've seen both double deckers and Optare Midibuses on this route to a fairly 50/50 split - the two times I've...

Batty would be my choice. As I've said to you before in person, debates like this simply shouldn't even need to happen in the first place. A sliding cost per mile should be calculated whereby shorter journeys and very long journeys are below the average incremental increase per mile. No dirt...

I'd simply like to know what the cheapest fare is from Sheffield to Worcester. I assume splitting at Birmingham is best, but is this not the case, especially as their is a variety of possible routes and TOC's? I'll be travelling down on Tuesday 6th July and returning on Wednesday the 7th, and...

Is it not possible to submit a Freedom of Information request to receive a copy of "The Manual?" If it's published by NR, as a public body, then it should be made publicly available, on request.

As you can see, I've only just joined this forum however I'll offer some assistance to you with this rather helpful website. I hope it isn't too late for solving your particular problem. http://www.directenquiries.com/londonunderground.aspx?tab=Underground%20Stations&level=1
