Sounds like gross neglience on the part of whoever sanctioned that arrangement.

Is that 3 hours away by train or driving? Sorry - helps to be able to read!!!! How about Stow - counterintuitive as you’re in the opposite direction from “remote Scotland” - but as a bonus you get a trip over both Bridges. Being a modern reopening - it doesn’t have that remote a feel, though...

You might want to rephrase that!

1. A one-off: Being welcomed to Bletchley - by the screens at Barassie 2. Sadly not a one-off: Screens insisting that the first train at the platform is the 17:00 to xyz and that the second train is the 16:40 to xyz - both trains showing as on time. How can a computer not be programmed to reject...

The most obvious difference is that you rarely have to insert a bicycle onto a roof rack between two others belonging to strangers while the car is in motion. Apart from that…

No - I mean that the operator that runs all but one of the trains that stop there has a workable method of doing so. The operator that runs the other has failed to ensure that the trains that it uses all are equipped to stop there safely, according (I believe) to its own rules.

It sounds as if it’s fit for purpose under the “Anglia” umbrella - since this problem doesn’t arise with their trains. It’s the trains that EMR deploy that aren’t fit for purpose.

To each passenger it is irrelevant whether they are the only one or one of thousands. That is the only metric that matters. The regulator should be coming down on this (like on many other things) like a ton of bricks and serving some kind of enforcement order - at the very least for alternative...

Biomass seems a very pejorative word for passengers - even if strictly accurate!

Don’t think they were in later years when it was a case of the train engine that had brought the previous working in giving the departing train a push en route to Eastfield.

UK.

At all 3 stations involved in my daily commute there are frequent last minute platform changes that don’t just entail turning round and facing the other way. Little surprise that those in the know tend to hang around the stairs (or the staff info screens) till a change is physically impossible.

I wondered exactly the same thing when I noticed the same train not calling there on Saturday (3-car 170 vice 2-car 158 was my thought)

Other than Lickey (the sleeper) and Cowlairs (quite a lot) where was the last regularly scheduled banking of passenger trains in the UK? Not talking about railtours, push-pull operations or ailing locos… Again for clarity, not including MLVs on the Folkestone Harbour branch unless they came off...

Sounds like.another case of itinerary programme planning “Nanny knows best”. Is there an option (like on DB) to deselect bus journeys?

Though no doubt there will be plenty (obviously not of through travellers) for whom it will be a great improvement.

The answer to that is to be found in recent (ie the last 50 years) history. If it’s known or suspected, no. However a determined terrorist organisation which isn’t too fussed about a particular target will get results. Remember the chilling words of the IRA. “You were lucky. But you have to be...

Not sure anyone has suggested that the online / smartphone options should not be available; merely that policy decisions should not be made on the basis of an assumption that they are a viable option for all. 1787142984 In terms of Royal Mail (or the early days of bus regulation) I disagree...

A doorstep survey based on Altnabreac, by any chance?
