They seriously need to consider some form of BCP / East Dorset metro service to get traffic off the roads. There should be an hourly service down the Swanage branch to Corfe Castle and Swanage. Consider reopening a station at Boscombe. Fully integrated bus and rail ticketing within the area.

Once went from London Victoria Greenline Coach Station Bulleid Way to Cardiff on a Stagecoach East London Dennis Trident because the allocated coach for the Megabus service failed before we set off.

That is my impression looking at the 035 service.

Don’t forget SB 1 which was the real risk to see if it attracted enough patronage above the considerable cost of staging the event to confirm the concept was sound.

My concern is that if they don’t care about presentation, how much do they care about walkround checks, driver defect reports and pmis?

It is self evidently a good thing that you are getting on with your life. Some of the posters on here can come across as being very bitter or angry but I believe that for many it is because fare evasion has become rife and given that public transport draws on public funds it creates angst in the...

Indeed it is helpful. Some may not like some of the comments made but the reality is the more real outcome data is shared on this forum the better that the regular posters can advise people to assist them or point them in the "right direction". We (and I include myself in this) need to focus on...

Local councils cant make up their minds whether they want graffiti or not. Some positively welcome it.

Thanks I thought it was about then. I was hoping for an early uplift on the 40 as the gaps in the service in the evening are a pain especially the 2 and a half hour gap between the 20:35 and 23:10 from Poole Bus Station.

NBC Explorer tickets were scratchcards. The passenger had to scratch the date. As a retailer of Explorers at the time, we would occasionally have an explorer in the box (we kept them in) sustain a scratch from mishandling so for safetys sake we would void it.

Whilst lying is not good (obviously) Train Companies experience this all the time. They will be more concerned that you engage with them ie reply to their letter and are truthful and contrite. Did they record your contact details correctly try? If so all you can do is wait for the letter and...

This is just a holding email which proves they have received your response. You can not infer anything from their response.

On that basis the buses running around Dewsbury and Batley should be The Shoddy Network or The Shoddy Bus Company.

Caught the 2100 London Victoria to Poole service on Tuesday 13 Jan (pick up at lhr) and it was about 40% full. The coach emptied at bmth after a few people got off at Ringwood. Just two left on the coach (including me) one for Branksome and one for Poole. Journey was on time and driven to a...

Many of the ttis on heritage railways have steam train outlines on the ticket nipper.

I think that arguing that a TOC runs virtually 0% of the trains you catch on time is not a sustainable position. Do you actually tap in tap out or put a card ticket through the barrier so there is proof of being at the gateline for all these occasions?

There is an inherent contradiction between processing cases efficiently and giving those accused of committing an offence their "day in court". You should always attend. The chances of a worse outcome by attending is very very low indeed. Pleading your case will at least give the Magistrates...
