    Group Bourdon Tool

    On the version I did, there was not. If I recall correctly, the formatting is similar to the printed sheets produced by the PC programme, but the dots are smaller.

    Cheapest Monthly Leeds-Doncaster Ticket

    Seems to indicate I could use a NR season with a MetroCard under 19c, but not a MetroCard with a TravelMaster.

    Cheapest Monthly Leeds-Doncaster Ticket

    If however I bought a South Elmsall to Doncaster season ticket, would a MetroCard be accepted on East Coast under section 19 of the NRCOC?

    Cheapest Monthly Leeds-Doncaster Ticket

    I have recently got a new job working in the Doncaster area, and I'm looking at commuting from Leeds. I'm 19, so would qualify for discount rate MetroCard/TravelMaster tickets from both SYPTE and WYPTE, but I'm just wondering what the cheapest way of getting between the two locations would be...

    London Bridge to Watford Junction

    On a Tuesday morning in August, myself and my girlfriend will be traveling from London Bridge station to Watford Junction (WFJ) (via Euston (EUS) i believe?) to visit the Warner Brother's Studio Tour. We have inquired, and need to be at WFJ by 10:30, but obviously want to leave plenty of time...

    Free hour in Grantham

    Just left on the 1640 to Leeds. Ended up just having a sit down and watching the trains go by, weather wasn't bad either!

    Free hour in Grantham

    Thanks for all the posts so far! It's looking like a big lunch in Skegness before we leave (on the 2:15 off SKG) and then take a sandwich or two from Greggs to eat while we're waiting. Might take a walk into Grantham for a nosey around depending on weather and how kind the gateline staff are feeling

    Free hour in Grantham

    Hi all, Tomorrow me and my girlfriend are travelling back to Leeds from Skegness via Grantham, and the train from Skegness arrives one minute later than the hourly Leeds service. We're traveling on advances, so always knew we'd have to wait the hour for the next Leeds train, however we're not...

    Leeds City Stations Futuristic Look

    Yes, I live there so I do it on a regular basis. Trains are normally okay, its the buses on New Bond Street that cause the problems! And my previous post was about Wakefield getting proper managing, but I don't know how good the council is.

    Leeds City Stations Futuristic Look

    Funding is difficult to secure and keep in this 'difficult economic environment' I think its a step in the right direction, and like you say, if it's managed properly then it should stay a good station in the years to come (if the scheme runs).

    Leeds City Stations Futuristic Look

    Perhaps a more radical solution would be to open up the station entirely, and get rid of the tunnel that used to house the ticket booths. The station would feel much more open, and it would also ease congestion. The displaced shops and offices could be moved either onto the platform side, or...

    Abuse to the 'Push' buttons on trains.

    I was on a 321 today, and they let out three ear splitting screeches from a small speaker mounted near the open button, just in case the light doesn't work, or you fail to notice you've arrived at a station. Although, standing by the doors meant I got several looks from the lesser...

    West Yorkshire Train Day Rover

    I got one today at CRG printed on the special metro ticket. They are loaded into the machine separately from the standard orange ones, inserted into a slot and printed then expelled with not nearly as much force!

    What about ticket gates at certain locations (eg. the end of platform 1, platform 7 etc.) to aid the travel of season ticket holders, or commuters with a pre-purchased ticket?
