I would add Birkenhead Central to the list as well.

Agreed, MPs will not get involved. They do not get involved in criminal matters. By the letter of the law (and this will feel harsh) you have committed a criminal offence (not knowingly) by travelling without a valid ticket. Whilst I'm fairly sure an out of court settlement will be offered in...

If internal you still have to apply and go through pretty much the same selection process as external candidates. Obviously a role like conductor can give you experience and scenarios (for example you can demonstrate being able to cope with lone working, following rules and procedures and shift...

Yes they could have TIR'd them but getting the £6 is probably better than a fake address.

The westbound platforms actually in the larger village of Flookburgh. (Eastbound is in Cark) Flookburgh and Cark would be the most accurate name for the station, although I can see why they didn't want to name the station Flookburgh as many would choose not to pronounce the L. Grange station is...

There are strings albeit very minor and but I believe it involves safety briefs being delivered remotely. More than likely the DFT, RDG or whoever is pulling the strings told the puppets in management at Northern they could offer RPI but they had to get some sort of productivity deal out of it...

Do you have any evidence of a proposal to remove the Liverpool service from Leyland? I've certainly never heard of any such proposal nor I believe is there any concrete plan to remove the two trains per hour to the airport from Leyland.

IMO the driver shouldn't be turning to focus on making an input on a display screen that is 90 degrees from their windscreen, when entering a platform number at a major station, and likely travelling towards buffers or a red signal. Their focus should solely be on driving the train. The screens...

You may wish to contact TPE to advise of a new address and that you've currently had no correspondence off them. You don't have to admit that you gave a false address.

And would cost a lot more too. Manchester trams are far busier than Sheffields, conductors would struggle to get down the trams in the peaks.

Seems odd and a bit random that Macclesfield is pick up only.

In practice, I doubt that the OP would have any issues changing at Victoria. It is a perfectly sensible route, the only people who know it's not valid would likely he those that had seen this thread.

It will not stop the hardened fair dodger. Those that casually take a gamble that there will be no checks for a couple of stops will probably think twice, and those who aren't dodging but have used other systems where pay on board is possible, and assume that Manchester is the same would also...

I don't think this would really improve things, as stated above its pretty much impossible to barrier on street stations, if they know that Piccadilly, Victoria etc are barriers then they will just travel to Picc Gardens, Shudehill etc. They already have manual turnstiles for events at Old...

The original email seems very presumptuous. How do avanti know that the OP doesn't have a valid ticket from Stoke to Stockport, purchased by another means? Eg a paper ticket from a ticket office. Yet it accuses them of short faring and doesn't even ask an explanation for mitigating evidence...

There may be passengers in wheelchairs, with pushchairs or with luggage they cannot easily get through 3 carriages, in the part of the train that is off the platform.

According to PayPal terms and conditions, most refunds take less than 5 working days, some take up to 30 days. They go on to say it's usually credit cards that take longer due to billing cycles, but debit card refunds can take 10 working days. If no refund received by 9th May (accounting for the...

So that was 2 Northern Trains to Victoria and 1 TPE, exactly what I said. Still 3tph between Stalybridge and Victoria. The Huddersfield to Piccadilly and Hull to Piccadilly didn't go to Victoria. The 2 trains per hour to Piccadilly is the pretty much same service level as today, just that the...

Stalybridge has at least seen an increase in TPE calls, so it does still have three trains per hour to Victoria (2*TPE+1*Northern) vs (1*TPE+2*Northern) pre 2019.

Im fully aware of the above, but the original post on this thread specifies that there must be a minimum 2 hourly frequency. Skipton, Keighley and Bingley to Morecambe and Wilmslow to Milford Haven or Tenby are all less frequent than 2 hourly, so do not qualify as a semi-frequent service under...
