I suppose i was thinking aloud. The current trend/policy is to unify track and train with GBR. Beyond the GLA boundary there is going to be new unitary local authorities simplifying the current two tiers. That new arrangement may be able to leverage more rail supporting investment from...

Moderator note-split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/first-group-win-new-london-overground-concession.295904/ Transferring the DC lines beyond Queens Park to TfL would seem to be a natural thing to do. Already station management of the stations beyond Queens Park to and including...

Do under 16 year olds have ID to confirm their date of birth? How many will have applied for a provisional driving license at 15 - <5%?

I am confused by the concept of a “positive Circuitous Route” easement. The Guide itself says:- An easement which extends permission is a positive easement. An easement which narrows permission is a negative easement. Map, double-back and fare route easements are always positive. Circuitous...

Hopefully my season ticket won’t go up as much as the print edition of the telegraph from £2.80 to £3.50 or 25%!

Won’t Lennon apply a factor either agreed among all carriers. Or by looking at the percentage of all revenue it allocates to a carrier in an agreed period. For example if LNER receives14% of all TOC revenue in the last 12 months, it gets14% of the ALR price.

This will be to amend the 1993 Act. For one, there are the existing provision on preserved rights to pensions, etc In the 1993 Act that would be difficult to withdraw.

They are just letting off steam!

I tend to carry a power pack with me when i travel. Primarily because i have now gone the whole hog from dropping cash to no longer routinely using physical cards. With everything in my digital wallet. Its less bother than taking a wallet out with you IMHO.

If they meet the criteria …”To be eligible to receive rail staff travel facilities, the Dependant must be financially dependent upon the primary cardholder, and generally be permanently living with the primary cardholder” Of course they also need to demonstrate that they income requirements...

I believe in your case you need to be a financial dependent of the primary card holder, which is now no longer the case following the passing of your father. As the wording says, best check with RSTL direct. I am certain your circumstances will have occurred before. So a precedent (answer)...

Services out of Fenchurch Street came under the British Rail Anglia Region. So Anglia Railways seems appropriate.

I think part of the problem is the confusion on who you approach. Leave an item on the rear portion of an Avanti train to Holyhead that splits at Chester. Do you contact the Train operator, Transpott for Wales the station manager for Chester. Or if it is discovered on the return trip and handed...

In my experience only TfL has a functioning lost property service.

Went on first journey on these (730 210 the rear of a train with 730 234 heading the train on the up slow). Perfectly fine, despite the obvious upholstery supplied by the manufacturers of very cheap travel cots. Plus the seats not aligned to windows. The designed first class area, looks more...

Short notice probably covers situations where RRB are not in the timetable. Maybe so short that they occur on the day before journey planers can be updated. Other than a free text message. Routeing Guide easements can be published overnight for Journey Planning engines to update digital retailing.

Routeing Guide easements can apply to part of the day and to specific trains using the trains UID.

All journey planners need rules to determine an output. Whether that relates to route, price, interchange times, etc, etc. Those rules need to be expressed in a data set, and maintained and amended whenever the physical options change. For example if the lowest price ticket has a geographical...

Yes.Your retired pass is linked to your original employment that led to redundancy 10 years ago. Of course your retired pass specifically excludes residential travel between home and work. Neither type of pass permit “Duty Travel”

Well I don’t know about usage in printed timetables. Perhaps marketing decision to add in the London prefix? But I have the Intercity West Coast Euston Station 25th Anniversary (1993) leaflet and it was plain old Euston Station when that was written! According to the leaflet the Travel Centre...
