Way to many graphics to post, but follow the link (made me laugh, anyway) http://digg.com/newsbar/topnews/mapping_stereotypes_the_geography_of_prejudice

Would posters prefer a reduction of say 10% on all ticket prices, if it meant Advance tickets would be discontinued? Following on from that, would people be prepared to pay a higher flat-rate price for tickets if there was only one, travel anytime ticket (it would simplify my job!) The above...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but a passenger asked me today and I didn't know the answer. Does anybody offer insurance for season tickets?

Just seen this clip. Amazing! (If it's been posted before, apologies!) http://www.wimp.com/vegetablemarket/

Here is a thread on an Army forum which may be of interest to some http://www.arrse.co.uk/military-history-militaria/34607-ww2-steam-locomotives-iraq.html

On RailUKforums, is the mention of the Daily Mail the equivalent of Goodwins Law? http://members.tripod.com/~goodwin_2/law.html There have been several "outrage" threads lately, where posters have been very quick to say "The Daily Mail must be contacted"...

Her and her friends were on the 14:15 to Cardiff last Friday, no complaints by all accounts (at least according to the journo making it up :D, sorry, I mean source quoted in the Mail). She seems to have had a good trip...

Serious one here: Groups of rioters are using tubes and trains to travel between sites of disorder. BTP wish to be phoned immediately if any groups of youths or any people with their faces covered are travelling on the railway or congregating outside railway stations. BTP number is 0800...

(Following on from something started on another thread) Ryanair are noted for having brought down the price of air travel across Europe with their no-frills policy. If this was applied to intercity rail travel as an open-access operator, would it be used? If you offered passengers a...

I've had quite a few passengers lately either on Advanced Tickets or solo on a group-save ticket saying that they had a sick granny/parent/child, and they had to travel on an earlier train (or their colleague has been called away for that reason). Some have got quite aggressive about it. The...

Found on you-tube, the last day of a signal box in Balbriggan, 20 miles north of Dublin on the Dublin-Belfast line. Quite sad and touching, the end of an era. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7tstDRvnXo

I had a few evening trains from London last week where as usual, coach E looked like the Black Hole of Calcutta, but there were tumbleweed blowing around in coaches A and B, regardless of how many announcements I made that there was plenty of seats on the train. The resulting arguments of...

I was asked for one of these today on the way in to London. I'd never heard of them before, can anyone enlighten me to the T&C associated with them? I'd like to be able to sell them (that 5% commission adds up), but I'd rather know what I'm selling first. :D I've googled them, but I'm sure...

As a general observation, a lot of passengers, and posters, seem to imply that if there is a ticketing dispute, that the burden of proof that the passenger did pay the correct fare for the journey lies with the TOC, not the passenger. Receipts, diary entries, "I can give you my rail-card...
