More competition for First in Weston with crossville competing with the 3 by running the 103 every 20 minutes. Will be interesting to see how First respond after losing the 5. I just hope the 3 does not go the same way of the 5 when crossville started to compete with them where it lost its...

Pretty disgusting behaviour from both parties. However, I can fully understand why the SUV didn't stop. Sadly this appears to of inflamed the situation with the bikers further. Although, I suspect most people would probably react in a similar way if threatened with a large convoy of angry biker...

Some intresting changes in North Somerset happening in November with First taking on several new routes. An updated news item on the North Somerset website has appeared: http://www.n-somerset.gov.uk/News/Pages/Changes-to-bus-services-inset-North-Somer.aspx

Given the latest news on North Somersets website regarding a new bus service that First is going to operate interchanging with the existing X1 bus service at Congresbury and Backwell and service 121 at Langford and Bristol Airport. - See more at...

I don't see what the issue is. Surely it is in the countries, the publics and the economies best interest to keep the rail network running and getting incidents dealt with reasonably quickly rather than having a network rail van that can fix the problem delayed in heavy traffic for 30 to 60...

i think it is probably more within the context of how the photo is taken. A photo taken between mates wouldn't be a problem however a photograph taken deliberately of a stranger could and should be seen as a problem. However, the major issue is how do the BTP distinguish between people making...

A Separate division in region police forces could in theory offer the same level of service as the BTP. However, the risk arises with budget pressures resulting to cuts in the railway policing department and resources being diverted to focus on the latest 'community' policing trend set by the...

The other aspect in the lack of charter trains may be due to the National Express and Wembley deal... Whilst, coach is not the way the majority of fans would like to travel to a game like this it is worth bearing in mind that pressure may be applied to the clubs through Wembley/FA not to run...

I suppose you could in theory buy a cheaper Carlisle to Newcastle ticket (£15 single) and use it to get to Leeds instead of the £27 ticket (carlisle to leeds)... am i thinking along the right lines??

i would have thought network rail and the tocs will want to reclaim costs that this incident has caused them.

The Welsh example is due to continued abusive and destructive behavior by certain groups of passengers in the evenings on Valley Lines services. Unfortunately a minority have stopped the majority from enjoying a drink on these services

It seems to happen fairly regularly. I traveled on a train from Taunton to Bristol on Saturday evening and the guard repeatedly stated the stations that the service did not call at. I think its just to help make things less confusing for pax.
