    The end of Sullivan Buses (in London)

    Possibly sullivans have dumped all their creditors onto the tfl company as a way of avoiding payment, the tfl company also apparently owes a lot of money to the remaining sullivans companies too

    Northern say don't use dating apps on the train

    Northern are doing you a favour by blocking dating apps. If you rely on a northern train to get you to a date, they are going to think you havent turned up .

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    Oyster remains the property of tfl The terms and conditions forbid loaning it to other people if it has a railcard discount on it. The debit/Credit card cannot be withdrawn and cannot have conditions attached that prevent it being used by other people because TfL or another transport authority...

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    Yes it should read via richmond or Wimbledon. Richmond is easier via Ealing Broadway and Wimbledon is easier via Paddington 1725901303 I think the only way they could implement the railcard discounts is either by using oyster or a successor to oyster using the same technology. Railcard...

    Name Calling & Fraud Allegation on GTR

    Probably because both parties started becoming intransigent at each other and the op started stonewalling after being accused of a crime. Or they could have been afraid of losing the season ticket. Having being stopped and searched myself, there is notbing to gain with volunteering any information

    Name Calling & Fraud Allegation on GTR

    I would keep the season ticket even if it expires as that would be proof you had a season ticket. And explain that when they send a letter. Although they shouldn't be accusing people of fare evasion on the grounds they started their journey at blackfriars and ending at Farringdon, alone even...

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    You could tap in at the elizabeth line gateline in Paddington and go to Reading on south Western railway via richmond and Wimbledon. It wouldn't exactly be an efficent way to go to Reading but it would be impossible to distinguish what operator you took in those circumstances

    Why is Merseyrail so heavily staffed?

    I think the staff member in question rides up and down the line on the train like a non door opening , non revenue raising guard

    Why is Merseyrail so heavily staffed?

    I went through during August 2023 and there was no one there https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2015/june/mayor-hails-transformed-services-as-tfl-takes-west-anglia-routes This seems to indicate that emerson park would be unstaffed, I don't even think there are the legally...

    UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns

    If there have been safety improvements to deal with the crowding at Euston , why hasn't this been shared so best practice can be achieved with other industries that also deal with crowded environments. So industries can learn fron each other

    UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns

    The ORR seem a pretty light touch regulator. I know of several incidents where they should have fined or taken stronger action against an organisation but didn't because the actual behaviour did not result in an accident (eg they became aware of certain safety critical employees involved in the...

    UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns

    Public sector organisations shouldn't be threatening people's livelihoods to dodge public accountability particularly over issues that can cause injury or loss of life.

    Can someone be fined/prosecuted based on history of fare evasion?

    Just buy valid tickets from now on and it's is unlikely they will look at your purchasing history

    UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns

    Hendys previous record includes having a large alcohol on expenses bill for an organisation that bans drinking for all of its employees. For having high taxi bills for journeys that could be made easily on his network (Eg from St james park to Southwark) For part paying for the services of...

    UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns

    There are protections in UK law protecting people from dismissal for holding legitimate philosophical beliefs. There are also political neutrality requirements for public sector employers to not discriminate based on political affiliation (Eg sadiq Khan can't simply stop someone becoming a...

    UK rail minister got engineer sacked for raising safety concerns

    Explain the difference a TOC has the legal right to ban someone from their services for complaining . Why is that unethical but contacting another company to get an employee fired from them for criticising network rail isn't
