    Are there not rooms with connecting doors? Two bottoms bunks would have been a much better solution!

    Chiltern Rail fare dodging and possible prosecution - can I request cctv

    Surely, having paid that amount, it is the time to raise a formal complaint over the handling of the matter with a better regulatory authority - with a view to having the unnecessary stress and inconvenience compensated? He had bought two tickets for the journey, and still had to pay a further...

    Flixbus Discussion

    Most of my journey on the train from Bristol north would be on a smelly Voyager. I can cope with a crap coach if I don't have to sit next somebody, and am guaranteed to sit down, for 25% of the price!! 1684011881 They don't overbook, therefore the problem needs to be addressed directly and...

    Yes, having a printed copy of your ticket works quite well. Everybody has basically paid online and been offered that option, so when you say "I've paid for this seat too", they generally understand. Given we're on a railway site - the fact they don't sell more tickets than seats is another...

    Just the simple ability to book the seat next to you is a key winner for me. Then add that you can't get direct from Bristol to anywhere north without changing in Birmingham.... Maybe the specific operators may generate different conclusions, the seat booking is a corporate policy....

    Flixbus Discussion

    Given the Flix service is so much better, in my opinion, they should do fine. Megabus and National Express need to up their game to suit.

    Problems with video codecs

    To the technically illiterate, will they know whether that file is executable or not? Essentially you are saying, just download it and double click it.... Are you certain a .mp4 is not a .mp4.exe file when by default you don't see file extensions in windows? {I fully agree with the concept of...

    All Northern self-service ticket machines off line 13/7/2021

    Given the whole back-end has supposed to have collapsed, it's interesting to see that the app can still interface with it!?!

    Avanti on board catering

    Maybe! I grew up in Lancashire, went to uni in Durham and now live in Bristol. You'll excuse me for forgetting the first stop on each of those mainlines coming out of London? My point about replenishment remains!!

    Avanti on board catering

    Jeez. Stocking up en-route should not be onerous. It could be a Euston-Preston non-stop, and then just 20 bacon baps seems a little ridiculous. No?

    Avanti on board catering

    Given the at-seat app, pre-order shouldn't be an issue? These Euston-X running out after 20 minutes, surely restock at Reading etc?

    Shortage of drivers on GWR
