NIR 3000/4000 PIS has the four stations of Knockmore / Ballinderry / Glenavy / Crumlin which all closed in 2003 over twenty years ago. IE 22000/29000 PIS has the four stations of Bridgetown / Wellingtonbridge / Ballycullane / Campile which all closed in 2010 over fifteen years ago. Also if we...

I have just seen two of those advertisements on the forum this evening. These foreign advertisements seem very random on a British forum. I can not imagine that many people on a British forum would be interested in a South Korean dating site. I doubt this forum has many (or even any) South...

Another one is that Red Arrow coach route between Derby and Nottingham that Trent Barton run. It is allocated coaches but is known get substituted with buses every now and again when a coach is unavailable. This route is an oddity in that it is a short distance express bus route that you would...

Another very odd one is the C2C 357 PIS which has these two very creepy sounding childrens songs as the audio test music: Could they really not find any better sounding music to use as the PIS audio test.

Stagecoach Highlands route X99 on the Inverness - Wick - Thurso - Scrabster route is allocated coaches but i have seen E200 buses and E300 buses used on a few occassions.

It is free of charge. You just walk on. The extra strike buses that TFL run are always free.

In reality the Night Riviera can be used for local journeys. The guards never care if people use it for local Cornwall journeys and alight at the pick up only stops. I have done this four times in recent years. What they need to do is simply officially remove the pick up only restrictions and...

Phil Sayer passed away almost ten years ago so he definitely never consented. It is his wife (Elinor Hamilton) who wrote the blog post and who gave consent for his recordings to be used to create an AI voice. I still think it is a bit of a morally questionable situation as Phil Sayer passed away...

The 197/231/398/756/MK4 have dozens and dozens of stations that will never be announced: Some of them like London Fenchurch Street are especially odd as there is zero chance that TFW will ever serve it and nor will they ever call anywhere where connections to London Fenchurch Street could be...

Southern would be even less likely than Southeastern to want them. As mentioned the 458/4s require guards and Southern only have a tiny amount of guards left. They are not going employ and reintroduce more guards and reverse the DOO rollout that happened. Plus they have no need for them. They...

Back when Megabus operated the Brighton to London route you used to get Dennis Dart SLF buses on it all the time. It was operated by Stagecoach South from Worthing depot but they only had the exact amount of coaches as the full PVR of the route. So whenever a coach was unavailable they would put...

The only place where the 458/4s are realistically going is the scrapyard. Maybe one will get preserved but even that seems very unlikely considering that none of the 456s even got preserved. The 458/4s have to have a guard onboard. They have no ability for DOO use. They do not even have any...

The class 222s have now been formed in six different lengths as they have been formed in 4/5/6/7/8/9 coach formations. They built 143 carriages which have been reformed four separate times which has resulted in five different lots of formations and a total of six different unit lengths used in...

Could it be possible to covert the Birkbeck line to be a joint double track tram and train line? Currently it is two separate single track lines. One for the trains. One for the trams. This reduces the maxiumum frequency for both trains and trams. Both the trains and trams could run more...

There was also these odd Stansted Express branded paper tickets (not CCST stock) similar to the Gatwick Express ones in post #13 of this thread: Manchester Airport also has (or at least used to have) their own CCST stock for the hotel bus routes: There are also other DLR stocks in...

There was a rare 158+158+158+158 (4x158) formation a few days ago: This is the first time that i have seen SWR or SWT operate one of these formations.

This very common locking out half the train on XC is getting ridiculous. Southern have been running 171+171+171 formations daily on the London Bridge to Uckfield services for over fifteen years. The guard is allowed to be in whatever portion they chose and it has worked fine with no issues. I...

I forgot about those. Those peak hour Bourne End to Marlow shuttles are especially short. Just a one stop short distance journey.

I have actually found four such videos on youtube of the train playing every single announcement. Southern 171 going through the whole database of announcements: Southern 377 going through the whole database of announcements: Southern 377 going through the whole database of announcements...

One very strange ticketing oddity that i recently noticed is that West Midlands concessionary bus passes (ENCTS) are randomly valid to Hednesford (which is far outside of the West Midlands borders) but not to Landywood and Cannock which are intermediate stations. Does anyone know what their...
