    ScotRail December 2018 Timetable change

    Why on earth would they get the train to the opposite end of the town, rather than the cheaper and more frequent buses that go directly to the university?

    Why can't driving licences be used instead of Photocards for Season Ticket ID?

    And this thread is about the possibility of extending that elsewhere. Obviously it isn't currently accepted. So they can choose to use the existing railway photocard. It wouldn't come under the GDPR any more than a bouncer checking ID at the door of a pub. In any case, even if it did come...

    Not entirely sure it's accurate, but ScotRail's Journey Check service just emailed me the following:

    ScotRail's December 2018 timetable change

    It's not just the fact the train is no longer non stop - that doesn't bother me all that much, but the fact that there are now fewer trains to choose from AND the return train to Bridge of Allan is now slower than the current stoppers! I can now arrive in Edinburgh at 08:05 or 08:41 instead of...

    ScotRail's December 2018 timetable change

    Delighted to discover the best option from Edinburgh to Bridge of Allan in the evening peak now leaves 9 minutes earlier and arrives 14 minutes later, thanks to a 13 minute wait in Stirling! http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G89354/2018/12/11/advanced Shambles of a timetable...

    ORR Market Study into the supply of ticket gates and TVMs

    I accidentally found this study while looking for something else, and found it quite interesting reading. Study P.S. The consultation is still open for comments, if you're quick...

    Inverness to London journey: Perth to Glasgow train disappeared after booking.

    Yes, sounds wise. I have also given up and taken the week off, so as long as they hand the line back on time on the Monday, it should cause me any (more) hassle either...

    Inverness to London journey: Perth to Glasgow train disappeared after booking.

    Scotrail now handing out leaflets about the closure at Bridge of Allan (and presumably elsewhere). Leaflet says to check www.scotrail.co.uk/electrification or the app for details of bus timings. I'm still seeing normal train timings... Bloody hopeless. Think I'll just take the week off rather...

    Inverness to London journey: Perth to Glasgow train disappeared after booking.

    As a commuter between Bridge of Allan and Edinburgh, I was interested (and surprised) to come across this thread. The web page seems to imply that all trains will be cancelled between Dunblane and Larbert (to Edinburgh, at least). However, trying to check the rail-replacement bus times leaves...

    Major disruption at Ayr Station due to dangerous old hotel (from August 2018)

    I'm not sure what your point is. Nothing can ever be sold in case a future owner fails to maintain it?

    Rights of passengers on split tickets during disruption to get to destination

    They don't tell them that, because that isn't true.

    Sounds like raising the bridge would have been the cheaper option!

    How do you get a 'promise to pay' ticket?

    Well, what if someone doesn't have a card? It isn't a very useful replacement though. Instead of just having cash the user now needs to have a card as well, which is the problem the Promise to Pay was supposed to solve! And, as you go on to say, such a system would be much more useful if you...

    How do you get a 'promise to pay' ticket?

    So, uhm. If someone doesn't have a (credit/debit) card to pay with, they just need to bring a (smart) card with them so they can pay with cash?

    Cambrian line 20 Oct 2017: loss of ERTMS speed restrictions. RAIB report released

    OK, that clears up the "ordered step" part. I'm still not really sure what set of "software sequences" this argument applies to, or what it means for something to "be obvious via a fault signature" (other than by reporting an error message, which is mentioned separately and is presumably...
