Not true. If you read the report it doesn’t mention Accident just Misadventure in the statistics narrative. But if you look at the graphs, they show the 25% for Accident/Misadventure. Seems very poor proof reading, and the categories may have been merged. None of the recent reports in local...

To my eyes the line in the distance is starting to curve slightly to the left. (and thats before I looked at the AI enhancement which seems to comfirm).

Agreed, I spotted at Skeg on summer Sats in 82, due to working on a project there; and there were no directNewcastle services.

Good to see it solved - it rang a very vague bell but all I could think of were places it wasn’t.

Don’t need to read between the lines. Board decided they were in charge ….. of everything including day-to-day operational matters. Telling how graceless their statement was.

Sounds like he’d fit right in at TPE.

Yes, but originally the NSE railcard boundary was short of Exeter. My memory seems to think it was Pinhoe! but it might have been Honiton.

Chesterfield had a dreadful reputation back in the day for actual hatred for all Railway enthusiasts young or old. The Blackpool North of its day. Well out of my areas of interest so only went there once, it lived down to its reputation. Horrible staff throughout. I actually ended up calling...

Paddington-Worcester service 83ish real crockery in the buffet, a couple of teaspoons chained to the counter.

Dunno, I started bashing in 81 and tickets were needed and checked at least down South and West. There were regional rovers for some areas then and £5/10/15 tickets on YP railcards to destinations countrywide in the Eighties on certain days, which could allow some “flexibility”. I used to do...

A superb story, very different times just a few years before I started bashing.

Ezekiel 7:7 would be far more appropriate for those poor sods having to travel out of Kings X or Euston.

The one at Beaulieu Road was working about half the times I passed it last summer. Which was a major improvement over the past few years.

Agree with Eastleigh, plenty of space, its a bit bleak but you won’t get hassled. Wetherspoons just outside. I don’t really do much spotting these days but enjoy passing a few hours there.

In theory whats to stop the OP claiming the delay repay anyway as recompense towards the Uber cost?

I went when at Lancashire Poly in the late Eighties even then it seemed more like a working junk yard than a tourist attraction which I rather liked.

Many thanks both that really isn’t obvious. I’ll remove the image. Though not sure why - no I don’t want to know ;-) 1707127466 Well thanks for the help the app still wont go to enable even with a photo uploaded and the correct ticket ref. Is there any other way of claiming?

No doesn’t seem to be. They don’t look like the old tickets for sure. Anyway thanks for the reply :)

Thought I’d post here before attempting SWR’s phone line. Has anyone been able to claim delay repay since the move from card to the larger barcode paper tickets? If I put paper ticket as the option it won’t accept the 11 letter ticket “number” wants 5 or 8 as per the old tickets. If I try it...

Cor we had one of these threads a few years back - fascinating. Didn’t realise Phil Sayer had passed so long ago - tempus fugit. Who was the Boofay woman heard on the WR? back in the day?
