When this service first started I believe most journeys ran to Wigan Wallgate In recent years it seems the majority of journeys ran to Wigan North Western instead Now it looks like all journeys run to Wigan Wallgate again When did this change occur, was it the December 22 service change, and...

Today services on the Ilkley line were replaced by buses The rail service usually runs every 30 minutes Ilkley to Leeds and every 30 minutes Ilkley to Bradford The bus replacement scheduled today was every 1-3 hours to Leeds and every 3-6 hours to Bradford. Such a low frequency they’ve...

I'm planning a trip next week on a non strike day, and for my preferred journey I am being given the option to buy 2 advances which are cheaper than a Day Return As disruption is apparently possible next week, and also bear in mind by journey involves the dreaded Transpennine Express and also...

Does anyone think that The Original Tour will have lost market share since a) they rebranded to the ridiculous Toot Bus name and b) that they lost the use of the City Sightseeing brand? To me this operator was always seen as ‘the main one’ but due to these reasons I don’t think it is anymore...

The fast Edinburgh to Glasgow services don’t call at Edinburgh Park, so using a normal day return, would I need to change at somewhere like Polmont or are you allowed to double back and change at either Haymarket or Waverley?

Roger French has written a blog about a suggestion that single fares could be capped at £2 https://busandtrainuser.com/2022/07/03/to-cap-it-all-a-2-limit/ Whereas it could work in urban areas, and it is already coming in this autumn in West Yorks, and already exists on the First app there...

The other day I travelled around Central London, mainly trying out parts of the Elizabeth Line, making various short journeys and in some cases not spending too long before boarding another service As a result of this they seem to have combined a few of these journeys into one longer journey...

I recently changed trams on the Manchester Metrolink at Cornbrook, and found the information on offer not really sufficient. Being an interchange station, there needs to be more than just the standard departure screens as used elsewhere Outbound, I was waiting for a tram to The Trafford Centre...

Transdev and Go North East have both restarted the printing of paper bus timetables following the suspension during the pandemic, although in both cases availability can vary due to third party travel centres either still being in ‘no paper allowed due to Covid’ mode or due to travel centres...

In normal non-Covid times, LNER run services out of King's Cross at 00, 03, 06, 30 & 33 minutes past every hour There is a big gap in departures in the second half of the hour, is there also a fast path available at 36 that they or nobody else is just not choosing to use at the moment...

Did the "Wales and West" and "Wales and Borders" franchises have a normal livery? I've tried to answer this question with a google image search and all I've found are class 158s in the Alphaline scheme or 153s in advertising schemes Did more regular stock have a livery or just continue to...

The majority of Underground lines or combinations of lines in Central London seem to have an off peak service frequency of 24 trains per hour which gives a train every 2.5 minutes (Victoria Line is more than this, and I’m excluding the W&C) But the Bakerloo Line only has 19 trains per hour...

As is already known Transdev is taking over the Leeds Bradford Airport services 737, 747 & 757 from September. These are the routes that Yorkshire Tiger currently run under the ‘Flying Tiger’ brand. In a unexpected development, when the 757 restarts at the end of the month, it will be run for...

Long established minibus operator TJ Walsh is to close down tomorrow. It’s been struggling for a long time due to poor consessionary fare reimbursement, but the Coronavirus has tipped it over the edge They’ve been operating high frequency minibuses in Halifax since 1994 and in recent years also...

Does anyone have any insight into how National Express operate their services For example, many contracts run by Go North East spend 3 or 4 days away from their home region How would such a diagram be crewed, would it always be a GNE driver driving a GNE coach, I'm guessing various overnight...

Does anyone know why some trains on Platform 15 at Leeds are booked to call at Platform 15A and some at 15B. Looking on Realtimetrains for any date in the future shows the random split between 15A & 15B. If they actually do stop at 15A which I’m not sure they always do, this results in them...
