    Annoying jargon in railway announcements

    Maybe it's due to arrive at 1459½ according to the working timetable, so "approximately 1500" would be correct.

    Fantastic news, thanks for all the hard work.

    "What it is driver..."

    Hi folks, thanks for reaching out. You're saying "thanks to e-meet you" is now a thing? an actual thing? I'm loving this! (But really, I've heard all the others but thankfully no-one has said "e-meet" to me yet...)

    I'm not sure what other potential improvements could be higher priority than ensuring the existing functionality is not actively harmful...

    May 2019 timetable changes

    It also shows the train from Edinburgh to Dunblane as leaving a minute later (1719), albeit then leaving Haymarket two minutes earlier (1723) and thankfully no longer waiting 13 minutes at Stirling, instead arriving in Bridge of Alan at 1811, rather than 1824... So, with the slightly later...

    Virgins single fairs only available when booking a return

    No. You've paid for the ticket and are free to use it or not.

    Son given large fine!

    Why would they be afraid of withdrawing a railcard, but happy to complete and hold a TIR/MR11 which would both presumably contain more personal information than the railcard?

    How quickly could a switch be re-instated?

    "Not approved" is the default state. Unless someone has done work to approve it, it won't be approved...

    Stevenage platform 5

    Why would they tell the agent the truth, then ask them to lie about it? Far easier to just not inform them. Easier still to believe there's no conspiracy at all and NR are as bad at communicating to their front line staff as everyone else...

    Oyster to Gatwick Peak/Off-peak

    That page doesn't seem to apply to touching out and then back in at London Bridge, unless I'm missing something

    “Scotlands best ever railway”

    Well at least the calves are elated...

    “Scotlands best ever railway”

    Yes. *Everyone*, including passengers in Northern England, deserve far better than passengers in Northern England are currently getting. Hence why it's completely fallacious to suggest that anything better than what Northern England is currently getting is somehow "good enough".

    “Scotlands best ever railway”

    Well, that's easy if you've memorised the timetable, but for normal customers ..

    “Scotlands best ever railway”

    Trying to get home from Edinburgh to Bridge of Allan, and it's completely hopeless tonight. 1727, 1734 and 1904 all planned to be cancelled as of this morning. 1805, 1835 both cancelled because of no staff. So there's 5 trainloads of people waiting on/around the cancelled 1835 (neé 1805)...

    Scotrail class 170 derailment - Stonehaven

    I wasn't intending to imply they had. I was just pointing out that the fact "The actions of the driver have nothing to do with Network rail." would make the driver more useful, not less, as a scapegoat for Network Rail, if indeed the cause was actually down to their procedures (or training in...

    Which makes him a great scapegoat for NR!
