I used to work in trading standards a few years ago. It was well known that a lot of the terms and conditions were not legally valid. However British Rail and its successors were very careful to prevent them being challenged in court by settling claims to prevent a legal case striking them down...

As someone who experienced the flood of 2007 in Gloucestershire where we ended up without power, mains water or even basic transport for a few days, I can tell you that our infrastructure is a lot less resilient than you might think. Climate change is real, and it will increase the frequency of...

Great another Carillion fiasco to follow. Give all the franchises to a firm with known financial problems, and sit back and watch it collapse. Oh well will make re-nationalisation easier assuming the Tory headbangers don't get back in....

The simple answer is to look at what works best in other countries. (Hint - it's not privatisation....)

They should be renamed the billionaires tax dodgers club. One of a number of neoliberal outfits pretending to represent the public and helping 'form opinions' in the right wing press. Undemocratic and creepy.

They could advertise it as the Island's 'Alton Towers' experience ! Awful track quality. Are they still running at 50mph ? If it was a heritage line the ORR would have shut it down by now....

The underground stock on the isle of Wight is always a lively ride! I would think its always worth reporting unusually rough riding to network rail. Chances are they already know about it and its within the safety margin - but it could be an indication of a more serious problem developing...

The problem isn't the location of the airports - the problem is the utter inability of this country to have a joined up transport system. Unless of course a) the proposal makes someone some short term profit or b) its in London and moves bankers around quicker.

The Tories voter base is stuffed full of senile Daily Mail types who will froth at the mouth at the mere mention of 'unions' or the public sector. So all Grayling has to do is keep blaming them or network rail and he keeps his job.

My understanding is that the highways/police object to any bus stop on the A road. Not much the railway can do unless the council alter the road and/or speed limit. Its a shame that Cheltenham council has shown little or no interest in the steam railway. IMO 60mph is a dangerous limit on that...
