Same here, although I had a Shareholder ticked , but walk up tickets available . Some trains fairly busy but not overtly so.

Surely if paying cash is a valid method of payment according to National Conditions of travel, it is my choice not the TOC as to which I chose. If the TOC for any reason will/ cannot accept cash it is their problem not mine and I should not be penalised.

The diamond pattern layout is specifically used to denote/ warn the edge of a platform . This gov. publication gives a lot of detail . Its too big to post in full Tactile paving surfaces (publishing.service.gov.uk) CHAPTER 3 Platform Edge ( Off-Street) Warning Surface This chapter should be...

I am in my middle 70's and have been called three times. and have served on a jury on two occasions . I was very impressed on how seriously jury members took the whole process both at Worcester Crown Court. I did feel that the whole process took longer than it could , mainly due to late...

Can anyone advise how long the 153's will be running on the Heart of Wales line? I used to look forward to a trip down this line but the current 153's have such poor leg room on the aircraft style seat layout that I am minded to give them a miss . I can only sit diagonally across two seats...

I firmly believe that one should address all correspondence to the Company concerned and not any individual unless one is specifically advised and then it would for the "attention off" and not directly to them in person. This put the whole correspondence in a different light, both by the...

Hertford and Hereford , although I note Hertford East is the station.

Why if open crossings are deemed so dangerous do they still exist on Network Rail where general line speeds are higher? There are a number on Heart of Wales line, with a local speed restriction on the rail line . Picture of near Sugar Loaf. turning off the A 483, meaning a long vehicle will...

My "plan B" for arriving at Hereford from Birmingham , in time for the last bus home is exactly that, enough cash to pay for a Taxi. Published times give 40 mins to get to bus outside station entrance. I have had a few times when the train is either late or Cancelled sufficiently to miss the...

Hotels are often like that. Only a proportion of rooms are bookable online , others are kept back for walk in guests or phone bookings

Thanks for the info. which confirms my own understanding . I posted the question as my initial phone contact this morning with TFW advised me that that the bus from Machynlleth went to Barmouth to pick up the train, which I questioned as I didn't believe there were any facilities for such a...

Not sure if this is the right thread but does anyone know if the bus replacement from Machynlleth to Pwllheli runs all the way or is there a rail shuttle north of Barmouth

I had the DVLA sending me reminders for previous owners car tax. After the 3rd time I sent it back to DVLA with a note to say any further correspondence from them to this individual at my address I would take as harassment. Didn't get anther one

Tippers used when Tarmac laying , reverse whilst tipping into the hopper that is continually moving especially on long runs like Motorways, but it is part of the job. A speed interlock sounds a good idea.

If I go to the Facebook page as per link above , and look at page transparency it states "LLANGOLLEN RAILWAY PLC is responsible for this Page.". If I then check in Companies House it advises the Company is in Administration C/O COWGILL HOLLOWAY BUSINESS RECOVERY LLP. Which raises a doubt in my...

Where does one actually find information on if and when trains are running?

I cannot see why one should imagine that passengers should be expected to have any idea that the "class" of train could/ should have any bearing on its route or usage. When I first started to use rail travel after I had retired I had no idea what to expect , it was all new and in previous...

I can just remember as a child watching trains heading out towards Halesowen standing on the top of Frankley Beeches back in the early 1950's .

According to August SVR Branchline some changes due in September. The Railway is preparing to reintroduce local trains during the midweek services, from Tuesday 7th September. More details will be provided in the coming weeks, but this will be welcomed by those wanting a return to some sort of...

As its a Ranger ticket, I would not claim delay repay but contact the TOC and ask for compensation for a disrupted journey as you couldn't complete the planned one. I have done similar when I have abandoned a journey on an open ticket due to cancelled train , they have to of course accept...
