It would appear that, rather then use selective door opening, as there are usually very few people alighting at Caersws on the up service, it is easier to find the passengers and advise them that it will be local door only to alight. Driver will open the front door on the butterfly, and...

These two crossings (Llanbadarn Fawr) are less than 50m apart and there is a system of interlocking to prevent both crossings operating at the same time. On leaving Borth the Cambrian train 'strikes in' on a treadle on the track. This prevents the VoR train crews operating their crossing until...

Several on the Cambrian Coast - Penhelig, Llanbedr, Llandanwg, Tygwyn, and Llandecwyn.

This could be the biggest difference, more-so if you insist on not changing trains ... Bangor to Porthmadog in North Wales is 63 minutes by bus, direct, door to door. By train, and without changing, it is 8 hours 54 minutes. This is because the Bangor to Birmingham International Arriva Trains...

Cambrian Coast from Machynlleth to Pwllheli. 5 hour round trip for about £9.

I think he must have been referring to the 19th century version of 24 hours rolling news, reporting on everything 'Olympics', because they've got little else to talk about for the 58 minutes between weather forecasts ... on hundreds of channels in most of the countries in the free world!! You...

I totally agree. Strike, by all means. Strike during the working week, during the run up to Christmas, hell ... strike during the Jubilee weekend. That affects many of us in the U.K. and we would expect it, put up with it, and many would agree with your actions, myself included. But not...

On the Cambrian Coast, standing at Llanaber north of Barmouth, you can see an approaching northbound train as it leaves Llywngwril. That's 7 miles, 5 stations and about 15 mins away. Theoretically, with binoculars, and probably easier when the steam train is running, from Pwllheli or Criccieth...

Hampton in Arden - Open Floor if correct.

Pen-y-chain (or as it was known ... Butlins Pwllheli). Open floor. and if they ever get 500 people queuing for a two car 158, the ramp will prove its worth ... not likely!!

Derby - open floor.

In answer to the O/Ps question, if you are being prosecuted under the Railway Byelaws you will not get an entry on PNC when convicted. If however, you were being prosecuted under section 5(3)a of the Regulation of Railways Act 1889, you would. With regards to your information being disclosed...

like i said ...... easy!

Nice and easy ... but then I would say that, I was there when I took it!

Thread's evolved to 'Guess the bit of line near to the station'? Just out of shot by about 100 yards is Tywyn station ... although in shot is Tywyn Wharf on the Talyllyn, but that's not National Rail, as per the thread rules. I'm being pedantic, and a bit smug, as it's ages since I got one!
