Venture Capital / Private Equity funded startups go through a number of stages. At the first stage the priority is PR; proving that the product is capable of working and that people like it. They needed to show that the buses wouldn't run out of electric juice on the Forth bridge while...

Edit: Removed followed message from moderators.

I agree. I think the problem with discussions about fares starts very early; we have been conditioned to accept discussing wrong questions. All the questions we discuss are premised on how we can use fares to manage insufficient capacity; which is of course exactly the same thing as using...

How much flexibility should a passenger in a railway with a well functioning ticketing system have, and how much flexibility could split ticketing allow them? I'm thinking of a journey from Ayr to Newmarket, where the number of possible routes you could take and the fact that you would have...

Similarly I learned that there hasn't been a fire in a diesel car in the last 30 years, therefore even if they are diesel (which by implication was better than electric), buses are still bad for the environment.

I know it's a small base, but they're honestly lucky they managed to staff Thurso.

Shuttle register their depot runs. I wonder if they'll base a bus somewhere closer, or if we're about to see a registration for a 0530 bus giving Kilwinning it's first ever direct link to Wanlockhead, to go alongside the Cumnock, Maybole, Stewarton and Uplawmoor services :D

Looks like they've cut the intermediate stops between Stratford and Thetford? Edit: Bookable from 13th July.

The N1, N31, N35 & N44 don't meet the criteria during the week.

Yes. The truth of the matter is that the withdrawn 0440 to Brighton never really ran very much anyway, and it felt like the 0330 to Swindon ran only infrequently. The 0630 Cambridge to Brighton seems to be cancelled in advance for most of the week beginning 25/5, which is odd as that's usually...

UK990 Swindon - Cambridge ends on 24th May. UK066 Cambridge - Brighton loses a service between Gatwick to Brighton, gains a 7th journey from Cambridge to Gatwick, and sees departures spread through the daytime more evenly.

Logic isn't necessarily what would get applied to this situation, and in the context, politically Kent is a hotbed of "climate"...

Yes Yes :( In this case only First would be allowed to operate a service that included Glasgow (and I wouldn't want to try and operate the service without the Glasgow passengers). My typical journey is East Anglia to Ayrshire. With the 757 being a shockingly poor service to get off a plane...

Aylesbury Vale Parkway!

One defect the routes suffer from that is very much of the current system is the glaring omission of Glasgow Airport, which is often seen as beneficial for the owner of the operator's other commercial interests. I'd love to see the 901, 904 and 906 serve the airport. In an ideal world perhaps...

Flirts, Flirts and Flirts. Would happily travel London to Scotland in any of them, and certainly rather than a Pendo, IET or Voyager!

With one more bit of panel removed I think you can see the slots for lifting them out in this photo of the Estonian Flirts from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadler_FLIRT#/media/File:Stadler_Flirt_DMU_2404_power_car.jpg

I think I read the generators can be removed from the power pack with a forklift truck?

It's strange. It's not a GA issue as Tottenham Hale staff are always... Maybe I shouldn't say it in case it is a GA issue and they get into trouble :D Stansted... I dunno. Sigh.

Wow - that's amazing! Thank you so much @Doctor Fegg!
