    UK General Election 2024

    I have been wondering about this though, since he is offering a ‘contract’ to the people, as director of a ltd company, surely he is exposing himself to legal action if he gets elected based on breaches of said contract, this oddity & choice of words may backfire on him… If there are any people...

    Blind man forced to sit on floor of Virgin train....

    intersting one this one, as I hate what the new franchise has been doing on the east coast (complaints for another thread hah) but I honestly can't see the issue here I don't see how being blind is a reason he shouldn't sit on the floor, were someone in his seats and the conductor wouldn't kick...

    Carlisle Security and Northern Rail: major concerns

    exactly - security contractors is a little vague, do they have the same rights? if so why can't they sell tickets? again I am only thinking in hypothetical terms, if I was in such a situation I would probably call and pay as I guess before reading this I would have no idea the phone number was a...

    Carlisle Security and Northern Rail: major concerns

    surely they can't stop you? I wouldn't have thought they were allowed to physically stop you, this matter doesn't concern me in the slightest personally but reading this is making me imagine how I would react in such circumstances and I would not be playing their game

    Proposed CrossCountry December 2017 timetable change consultation
