I rather doubt that you, I, or anybody else for that matter, would find anything as no poll was taken to establish the facts. In any case, it doesn't matter now how many people were unhappy or otherwise as the trains sold out which means the LTM got it right, regardless of how quickly they got...

I found that rather a churlish thing to say at the time if I'm honest. It's certainly not good to see any event like this underpatronised although from where I was standing it looked pretty full so the footfall must have increased with the intervening months. The LTM did their research and...

“TIL: Thank you for your email. Yes you can appeal your letter by putting your version of events in writing and sign and date the letter and send to us to be reviewed.” I’ve read and re-read this, and I know it’s Sunday morning, but I can’t see the bit where, in response to your question, they...

You're no different to anybody else. They need to realise that - and so do you. I'm a big fan of inclusivity above differentiation. When everybody gets that, it'll be hunky-dory.

I would have thought the answer to that was pretty obvious and its hardly helpful to the OP in any case.

I've been driving on a full licence since 1981 and have covered well in excess of one million miles on the roads since, particularly during the intensive period 1989-2012. I have two cars and a van which get shared out to my eldest daughter and my wife as required. I rarely use public transport...

By that logic, the papers would remain on the train all day, most likely in an ever increasing tatty state, until a railway employee has to clear them all up. Therefore, whichever way you look at it, it's littering. There are thousands of free papers available to passengers every day, more than...

I can't understand it at all. It's an inexcusable antisocial habit, particularly when all one needs to do is carry a regular plastic shopping bag to keep all the crap in until one gets home to a dustbin.

The moral of this story is never buy cheap chocolate teapots. It always ends in tears. :wink:

I have the utmost sympathy with those suffering bowel trouble but if they did it in my front garden without subsequently offering to clean it up, I'd prosecute them. I don't see why it should be any different on a train station, particularly as it's a public area with all the inherent risks of...

Sorry Butts, Davros is at the dentist this season. Terrible cavities..........:wink: Edit: The new Doctor is good and so is the sidekick. Anyone who thinks they can't act is deluding themselves and is quite rightly not being paid to do reviews anywhere that matters. :D However, the revised...

Your presentation will now be enhanced and made more interesting by the story of the scribbling! As Eric Idle once stated, "always look on the bright side of life"! :D Enjoy the rest if your holiday. :)

All of it. Sadly, I'm old enough to have done Epping to Ongar on many an occasion (including getting on and off at Blake Hall for the sake of it once), the Bakerloo line to Watford Junction (once - and came back on a 501), all of the old East London line before the Overground took it over and...

Try taking a plastic bag with you for your rubbish. Then you won't have to hold on to it like that. A bit like dog walkers taking plastic bags with them. It's common courtesy to others and there'll always be a bin somewhere along your journey where you can deposit it, even if it ends up being at...

As a fleet, that probably includes the Edgware Road - Wimbledon trains (8?) plus some spares. I doubt the maximum service requirement (which is what Dstock was on about) would leave no spares available in case of a breakdown so the figures on the link are probably correct, if a little confusing...
