What i mean is, i've been on the full 413/414/423 Liverpool/Woodside - Seacombe/New Brighton routes, but not end to end on one trip, i've always got off, mostly because i live on the route, although i've been on 38/38A & 407 end to end on one trip. Has there been routes anyone else has done end...

I was on the 199 Manchester Airport to Buxton last week, that goes down most of the A6 between Stockport & Buxton, although with a deviation through Whaley Bridge & Chapel En Le Frith were as the A6 by passes those 2 places. That got me thinking what's the furthest distance you can go by bus...

No, i'm not talking about cross boundary bus service provision (that's been done to death recently) i'm talking about cross boundary tickets which is being discussed in this thread, so moving on from that thread bringing in more general discussion...

Planning a day out using the North Wales Day Rover, starting at Chester, want to catch the 06.18 Chester to Shrewsbury, the ticket office at Chester doesn't open until 06.30, & the TFW operated TVMs doesn't display & sell them they're just basic TVMs (which is annoying), & the station is...

We have a scenic bus routes thread, but what are the scenic bus stations, as most bus stations are in urban areas & tend to be functional or awful, so this one has me thinking, the one St Ives has to be up there, although that's more car park than a bus station, but you have views across the...

I'm thinking of doing a trip to London next month, i'm wondering if i buy the Liverpool to Euston any permitted route, off peak return, would i be allowed to start the return journey at High Wycombe & change at Banbury & Birmingham New Street instead of going to Euston, if so what are the...

Following on from this thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/trivia-historically-longer-bus-routes.267376/page-4#post-6767423 What routes that were once short but are now long? 7 Liverpool - Warrington, the traditional route was Liverpool - Huyton, back in the day was the number 40. The...

Thinking of bus routes that were registered but only operated for less than a couple of years before being withdrawn by the same operator. Bus routes introduced then withdrawn because of bus wars, takeovers, or company going bankrupt are not allowed. Prime examples X57 Sheffield - Manchester...

Just looked at my railcard expiry date & it's 16th May 2024, i'm thinking would it be ok to travel out using my railcard discounted fare before then, but renew my railcard before the return journey, & use my new railcard for the return journey?

Setting up a new thread, as feel it's for a wider discussion. Their has been a couple of threads recently including this one caught using a forged railcard https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/forged-railcard-am-i-likely-to-be-able-to-settle-out-of-court.251415/ Plus another one a few months...

Seems another trespass incident between Crewe & Acton Bridge, services currently ground to a halt.

Thinking from the other thread of links being lost when a bus company takes over another bus company, got me thinking of links/through links lost after bus wars have ended, couple of examples. GM Buses operated the 34 Liverpool-Manchester & 320 Liverpool-Wigan, when MTL & GM Buses North & South...

Merseyside PTE had it's heart set on Atlanteans [seeing as it's predecessor had the first one] so never brought many Olympians, apart from the evaluation fleet, Merseybus bought a batch of 70 Olympians in 88/89 first 15 & last few of the batch went to Laird Street. GMPTE though, went with...

Don't think there's a thread for this one, but what are the ugliest buses ever made, the Marshall deckers to name one then Willowbrook on the Atlantean & Dominator, but winner had to be Dublin Buses, both Bombardier, & Metsec Atlantean, Dublin Metsec Atlantean...

Looking on google earth, the former Northern General, Worswick Street bus station in Newcastle is still there, which i find quite amusing & also quite sad at the same time as it looks in a dreadful state, i think must be 1996 when buses last used Worswick Street, got me thinking, are there any...

Mine is i've never done Southport-Hunts Cross on one journey, i've always got off at some point, most of the time i've done Hunts Cross-Liverpool stations/Bootle or Waterloo or Liverpool Stations-Southport, nearest i've done to full route on one journey is Southport-Liverpool South Parkway. Any...
