    Heart of Wales - a tatty service in the first place seems so often to be in tatters

    I used the 0939 Service from Bucknell to Llanelli this Tuesday and back at 1446 . Train was well patronised on the way down but lost 10 mins or so waiting for the Shrewsbury bound one to pass . Coming back it was on time but again lost up to nearly 12 mins waiting for the Swansea bound...

    Railcards and leap years

    In my view a 3 year railcard is 3 years whether it includes a leap year or not. If they want to say its only 1095 days , that's what should be advertised and sold . I had a similar argument about car warranty with a leap year and got it changed 1096 days

    Examples of bad design

    My father was dead against flashers replacing trafficators ( Circa Middle 1950's) as you couldn't see them easily from the side but changed his mind when more motorways became the norm. He was right of course as side repeaters are now mandatory.

    I'm getting uncomfortable reading the disputes forum now - they are making me lose confidence in traveling with Advance tickets.

    I was on a TFW journey last week & a couple next to me had written authority from the Ticket office at Shrewsbury to travel on an alternate train due to cancellations , with an official stamp and signature . This I suspect is an ideal situation & is not readily available under lots of...

    What is your opinion on the USA?

    I have been for holiday (Vacation) three times in the last 15 years in the US , on one occasion driving from the East coast to West in my own vehicle . It was great way of seeing the country as well as visiting friends and a relatives. It is definitely a diverse country but I did feel a...

    Obtaining itemised receipt with VAT number for ticket purchased via SWR app

    TOC's will be VAT registered and surely if travel is Zero rated, a receipt should have the VAT number and nil in the VAT column . If it were VAT exempt it might be different. If I have a VAT receipt for repairs on my Car that includes an MoT it will show nil VAT for the MoT

    ENCTS & cross border validity into & out of Wales

    I have just had a look at other authorities on the Welsh border and it does appear that each English Authority can make its own arrangements about granting cross border access. It does seem anomalous that England to Wales validity is more restrictive than the other way , but I suspect its all...

    Ticket Machines TFW

    I originally posted this as there is no mention on the machine when you first "wake it up" or posters to advise that paying cash is possible , and I just wonder if anyone not used to rail travel may be put off travelling . I am sure most just get on the train without much thought at all and...

    Ticket Machines TFW
