They often advertise rail replacement buses as two services when it is actually one. It is very common for the 00:02 service from London Victoria to Eastbourne to be replaced between Haywards Heath and Eastbourne with a rail replacement bus in the late evening. But they stupidly always advertise...

Just seen this post on Twitter that alleges Heathrow Airport have a cloned number plate on one of their buses: https://twitter.com/i/status/2049428474968842345 Full quote of the Twitter post linked above about this issue: ANPR photos of the bus with the cloned number plates: Plus a photo...

Jamie Oliver has just relaunced his Jamies Italian chain this month. I have no idea how that will be successful this time considering that he had to shut down the business six years ago. Business these days is even more difficult than six years ago. I can not see that lasting long. It would not...

Falmer has two bus stops which have both oddly been given incorrect ATCO and NAPTAN codes. Science Park Road on Eastern Ring Road (brimjpg) (149000006073) Served By Night N25 Science Park Road on Southern Ring Road (bripdta) (149000009023) Served By Day 25 These two bus stop have BHCC...

I can think of some routes that even serve the same stop three times in one journey. CTLA (Community Transport For The Lewes Area) route 132 serves two stops 3x times each in the sane journey: • Lewes Tesco Adj (esuamaja) (1400LE0018) • Lewes Friars Walk Stand B (esudgdpw) (1400LE10006)...

It does not matter. Take whatever direction you want. Cannon Street and Edgware Road are almost exact half points on the circle. Both clockwise and anticlockwise take about thirty minutes. There is very little difference in journey time.

Kent Coach Tours used to run two Ashford town bus routes (113 and 125) until two years ago and i remember i would occasionally see coaches operate those two routes when their buses were unavailable.

Thank you for putting together such a detailed summary of news. Good to know the latest Lithuania railway news and what the progress is on these projects. It is a shame that Rail Baltica is endlessly delayed. At this rate i would not even be surprised if it takes well in to the 2040s to...

Brighton & Hove used to regularly use coaches on the 11X service. It was a ten minute end to end journey from Brighton Town Hall to Hove Town Hall and was the last route i would expect a coach on. A council contract shuttle running every thirty minutes and taking just ten minutes from end to...

Last time i used Bournemouth airport i walked from the airport to Parley Cross which took me 45 minutes. I am a fast walker but a slower walker would probably take 60 minutes. From there i was able to pick up the 13 or 13A bus to get in to Bournemouth city centre. This bus runs every twenty...

Great Western Railway have these two trains which call at Winnersh and are their only trains to do so. Monday To Friday: • 06:40 Redhill to Reading 08:15 (calls at Winnersh at 08:08) Monday To Friday: • 15:18 Reading to Gatwick 16:55 (calls at Winnersh at 15:25) They are also the only trains...

You can also always buy a ticket onboard the train and they happily accept cash payments. There is no surcharge if you board at an unstaffed station. There is fairly small EUR2.00 surcharge if you board at a staffed station. So even if you board at Vilnius or Kaunas you could still just board...

City Transport Group is the bus company that is quitting the contract.

Yes just buy tickets at the ticket office or onboard the train if you board at an unstaffed station. That is what i have done in Lithuania on previous visits. No need to faff around with the online apps or websites. Train ticketing in Lithuania is fairly simple and cheap compared to other...

This service on six days a week (Monday to Saturday) calls at Seven Kings at 05:36 which is an odd call: • 04:41 Colchester to London Liverpool Street 05:51 It is the one and only Greater Anglia service to call at any intermediate Elizabeth Line station (other than Shenfield / Romford /...

Trans Pennine Express Class 397 PIS has classical music as the audio test music: https://twitter.com/i/status/1853781530834801128 I too wonder why they use music rather than a phrase to test the audio. Maybe it is easier to tell the audio quality and volume with music. The music is more...

I think that all of these services could be considered to have odd or unusual calling patterns. Southern have only two trains a week that call at Balcombe: Sunday Morning: • 06:32 London Victoria to Brighton 08:03 Sunday Evening and Monday Morning: • 23:32 London Victoria to Brighton 00:59...

They would also have to have door control buttons fitted. The 458/4s have no door control buttons for the driver in the cab. A huge amount of modifications are needed for DOO work. I very highly doubt that GTR will take them. I would be very surprised if they end up anywhere other than the...

It might not necessarily be old bollards. It could be that they had to cut some holes to access wires or pipes or something underground and then patched it up. They often patch these things up rather messily and use tarmac that is a different colour. I have seen similar in other places.

Route 111 operates between Heathrow and Hounslow before continuing on to the Kingston area. I presume the main purpose was to provide extra buses on the Heathrow to Hounslow section. That part would be especially busy without the Piccadilly Line running. But no idea why they decided to run these...
