When the unit runs out of charge on the second trip you will be expected to descend to the track level and push the train back to Ealing. The test is to see whether the unit can charge its batteries through regen whilst being pushed by a train load of enthusiasts.

Whilst id personally normally walk. London Bridge to Liverpool St is far easier by bus than by tube.

To be honest, I dont think you'll find a long term commute for nearly 50 miles across Central London is viable by public transport unless its on something direct like Thameslink or Crossrail, its why the M25 is so busy at peak times.

The Intercity operators need to introduce Ryanair style To be honest its been a problem for many years. I can remember in the 1990s coming home from Plymouth for the weekend in the summer we used to avoid trains that had started from Cornwall because the vestibles were piled high with luggage...

If you didnt have break of journey restrictions an Anytime Single to Belfast via cairnryan would be much cheaper than a single to London Terminals for Senior Railcard Holders in Kent!

Sorry thats not correct, the operating risk lies entirely with the heritage railway it is up to them to ensure the safety of passengers, like I say if youve got window limiters fitted in my opinion alarp = window limiters in use.

If it helps the latest delivery of diesel for my heritage railway cost 70.8p per litre including 5% VAT, Id imagine because of quantities concerned a TOC would be paying much less than that. Id imagine that 21 p/kwh is also very much on the high side, Im averaging less than that (obviously not...

The private railways still have to write a risk assesment against a passenger being injured by sticking the head out of the window. Ive no idea of the Bluebells proximity to infrastructure etc but i suggest it would need a brave man who would write a risk assesment claiming to be operating "as...

I think its been known about for sometime and theyve probably given up trying to fix it. At one time the tickets were changed to route Edenbridge/Polegate but whilst this fixed the London problem, the shortest route from Edenbridge to Havant and beyond is via Guildford which upset SWT so they...

Personally I would say you are better off travelling from Ashford to London Bridge on the mainline service and then changing there for Norwood Junction. Its nine stops Ashford to London bridge most of the stops are in the rural area and there will be a lot more room than HS1 which depending on...

Id suggest its very patchy, down here in deepest Kent they are still very rare. If you see them itll be DFLs at the weekend visiting family or their second homes. We do however have our first fast charger on the A259 outside of Rye in a farm shop. Its unusual to see more than 1 bay in use in...

Was going to suggest going via Edinburgh as that isnt so bad depending on where your final destination is and realised this is the last day of the Durham Coast diversions. That'll be why theres no advances left on the WCML everybody heading to the central belt from London will be going via carlisle.

When i tried from Galway 3 years ago they wernt, Galway ticket Office sold me an Irish Rail Ticket to Heuston and a sailrail ticket from Dublin ferryport to Appledore. It didnt really matter to me as i had a lengthy evening connection in Dublin which suited me. I think there were only a handful...

I believe that sailrail tickets to/from beyond Dublin/Belfast haven't been available for approximately 4 years now. I think the tickets sales had fallen to almost zero and it wasn't deemed worthwhile to load the Irish timetable in to the British reservation system. So whilst the fares...

Depends where your arriving from at East Croydon but if your train has a On board supervisor or Conductor they will quite happily sell the travelcard to you in my experience.

The R&ER arent making their trains hard to use for 99% of their customers, what as a tourist attraction rather than a public transport operator they are doing is trying to survive financially against unsympathetic world events and government policies. selling half a dozen intermediate single...

I suspect that a lot of the intermediate stations dont actually have any sleeper passengers. I used Garelochead on and off over 30 years and in that time I never saw another person join or alight from the sleeper and that includes joining the down sleeper for hillwalking trips in the seats. In...

16th of March is an Old Firm match although its a lunchtime kick off it will have an effect all day. Sunday Afternoons/ Evenings are always expensive times to travel as its people returning from a weekend down south or to Scotland for work on Monday.

None of those UK airports are really compareable to Gatwick as they are much smaller cities and as a consequence the city centre is much closer. St Pancras to Gatwick is give or take the same distance as Manchester Piccadilly to Liverpool John Lennon the Peak Single for which is £21.60

I think Ardlui is the second least used station on the Glasgow to Fort William route (after Roy Bridge), I imagine it rarely if ever gets a sleeper passenger.
