    Yorkshire Coast Liner

    The Coastliners that operate beyond Heworth have always been double deckers (and nice ones too) in my experience. Fares are expensive but North Yorkshire is true blue tory heartland doesn't provide many subsidies for transport at all so it's a very expensive part of the country to get around by...

    Buying tickets for someone on VWC

    Their German card didn't work last time they came up so I bought it for them and they gave me the money back when they got here. Seems Virgin are missing a trick not having a way to enable you to buy tickets for other people, thinking about all those students who are skint and need parent's...

    Just a thought

    I've slept on the concrete outside Euston before, I wasn't alone there's was loads of people! Eventually when the station opened I went inside but the first train to Manchester (it being a Sunday) wasn't for a few hours so went back to sleep inside near the entrance behind the underground...

    Wouldn't North Wales electrification make sense once the North West lines have been done as the next logical step?

    Buying tickets for someone on VWC

    If I use my oyster to enter the western concourse and then leave via the southern concourse will it charge me?

    Possible route reopenings

    Would be good to see it paired up with a service east of the Pennines. How about Scarborough so keeping a diesel service both sides of the pennines paired rather than running under wires all the way to Liverpool.

    Mis-guded busway, how t should be done

    York Road in Leeds (and there's a road heading west out of Bradford like it too) looks horrendous with a guided busway down the middle.

    Possible route reopenings

    I was on one of the 6 daily York to Brid buses the other week and it had about 8 people on, York to Brid is never going to be a viable route, York to Hull via Beverley (with a change for Brid there) would be.

    York - Penzance - Sheffield

    In July my partner and I are travelling down to Cornwall for a holiday and then back up to Sheffield for a music festival. Is there any cheapish way to do this or is it going to bankrupt us? Was thinking maybe York - London - Penzance via EC/GC & FGW on the way down and direct via AXC on...

    Dumped 1983 Stock

    My girlfriend had an idea the other day of turning them into homes, like narrow boats on rails! Would certainly have been interesting to see!

    How did Skipton/Ilkley get electric trains?

    Was it a pilot project to see how electrification could be rolled out in the North or was it the government throwing a bit of money toward one of their constituencies? I know that it was done on the cheap meaning 225s can't draw power but if you compare the service to Skipton and Ilkley from...

    Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia - Any Recommendations?

    Howabout Budapest to Sarajevo, it's a long run but the scenery is out of this world. Could continue to Croatia for cheap flights from Dubrovnik.

    The Changing Map Of Bus Operations (Where Will It End?)

    First really do seem to be dropping the ball compared to Stagecoach in Sheffield who generally have better buses, cheaper fares and integration with the supertram. I avoid ever travelling on First in Sheffield if I can.
