Generally by opening https://www.journeycheck.com/greatwesternrailway/ where it would state no catering or first class accommodation available.

I've proposed a Cringleford station quite a few times, it'd be a great location for a modest amount of new housebuilding and for serving the whole western half of outer Norwich which is currently poorly served by any mode apart from driving, especially for journeys to Peterborough, Cambridge and...

It's not. There's no space for car parking for rail users. This has already been explained quite a few times in the messages above yours. The station itself is a inanimate object which is already in a finished state and open to the public. It cannot "fail" or "succeed", because it already...

There are loads of trains which are very poorly loaded, but which cost a lot if you want to travel on them. Some examples from Mondays - Thursdays: 0502 York to Manchester Airport 0530 Wakefield Kirkgate to Manchester Piccadilly 0504 Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston 0914 Manchester...

Technically prison doesn't take away people's individuality, as rebuilding that as something better is supposed to be part of the job of the sentence! That's why prisoners are encouraged to do work within the prison system for example. It doesn't impose a particular diet on you either, you get...

Technically the purpose of the justice system is to punish, rehabilitate and deter. Wanton abuse does not fulfil any of those and may actually be counter-productive to at least two. That's why the modern concept of prison is that it's to deprive one of one's liberty, but not of one's dignity...

Probably for similar reasons Patricroft, Humphrey Park, Fairfield, Flixton, Atherton, Worplesdon, Featherstone, Prittlewell, Ryder Brow and so on didn't. Humphrey Park, Fairfield and Ryder Brow still don't today, along with others nearby.

I don't come from Bolton, I set my location there in response to another poster who made a joke about who'd want to live in Bolton ;) You do seem to have assumed I was saying it's in an unpleasant part of town though, which it isn't.

I was about to suggest this myself but I see the advice has already been well given. :) The best thing to do is to be careful in future, and ensure that you have the correct ticket before boarding every time.

Indeed. Given the electronic screen-reader's compatible version would cost the company ~£0, if anything, by ignoring the straightforward request, the company has been vexatious. The OP has already mentioned being happy with that option.

The station is absolutely filthy, it's difficult to access over uneven ground and steps, it's poorly lit and it's very little used on any day of the week. The biggest custom is usually people fare evading, which is very easy, if you get there from say Bryn without a ticket, lots of people leave...

They're so uncomfortably small I'd never dream of taking a bag in there. If you did you'd risk pressing the call for aid or toilet flush button with it. Also, there's nowhere you can place a small suitcase or large backpack that won't be doused in other people's waste water. This is actually...

The Oxford Canal stopper on Sundays is a right funny one, from 4 October onwards it doesn't run at all. I guess it returns at the May change the following year.

A lot of the software isn't supplied in a cloud-based format. Of course anything is possible but every operator has a slightly different combination of control software and interfaces. To achieve what you're suggesting I'd suggest a large in-house development project would probably be needed as...

Some users were able to make them, I've no doubt. I wasn't, though.
