Yes, I looked into this one previously. a nice easy journey as the crow flies. But a long detour if you plan to walk it!

Thank you for all the suggestions. I think the clear winner here is Exeter. Near to a station, and a station that has a decent service too. And a hotel on site. Plus its easy to get to from where I live

looks like one hell of a walk from Long Buckby though. As the crow flies, doesnt look so bad. But the only walking route looks to be many miles!

many people thought that the cancellation, or more accurately, the truncation of electrification would lead to a disaster. In fact, it may turn out to be the best thing ever, since it has forced train manufacturers to invest in and develop bi-modes, tri-modes and hybrids This will lead to...

30 minutes is a guideline, Im sure a little extra wouldnt be a problem! Looks like a possibility, a nice walk through the lakes as well! now this could be the best one. all nicely located, and easy to get to from Somerset too

Maybe this should be in Infrastructure and Stations, but its part of a trip I am planning. Are there any railway stations that are near to motorway service stations (say half an hours walk)? Ideally a motorway service station that also has a hotel. An odd thing I would like to tick off my...

not sure what people expect rail companies to do. Yesterday many rail services were shut down. In those areas, buses, and in many cases, taxis were not running wither, since there was a "do no travel" recommendation in force. Plus of course, even if transport could operate, many drivers and...

why not just make it illegal to assault anyone? why should some people get special protections?

I think on these applications they often look for a potentially friendly MP, and add their town to the list. Always helps if you have a campaigning MP on your side!

Initially they will want to keep them separate. I cant see there being any new longer distance services, but I wouldnt be surprised if they combine some existing services later, so Ashington to Carlisle is a real possibility, maybe they might also combine with Whitby or Nunthorpe services

It is actually one of the great contradictions of our time "nobody wants to use the railways, because theyre so overcrowded!" :D :D

replacements for the HSTs, and to enable refurbishment of existing stock. effectively no increase

and dont forget the extra quirk of the worlds longest bench!

Lets face it. XC are not getting any extra carriages or services any time soon. Fare rises would be unacceptable. The issue is mainly people using XC as a local service. So, the only way to stop overcrowding is to either ban short hop passengers, or simply cut out all intermediate stops...

I find Birmingham New Street quite quirky. The fact that being underground, you cant work out which way you are facing. And with so many services reversing there, the display boards showing "First Class at the Front" are pretty useless....

Crawley will bounce back. I assume theyll go with the same XI in the next test. Some would have suggested Robinson be given the gloves for the 2nd test, but since Pope di pretty well, its unlikely theyll change a winning team, unless they decide to rotate the seamers. Possibly Potts in for Atkinson

The latest allegation from Sky News is that the police became suspicious when they asked her by email if she had a picture of the stolen phone. She replied, attaching a photo of the phone that metadata suggested she had literally just taken....:D:D:D:D

Hong Kong. Where rail replacement buses are free, but the people are not. I think I know which I would prefer

Basically GWR are just being honest for once. GWR has been a shambles every Sunday for years. They never have enough crew, and there are always multiple cancellations, but usually they are literally announced at the last minute. It may be because they have to make an announcement about...

This sounds altogether more like someone input the wrong code!
