Unusually for me, I fully understand and agree that it would be ridiculous to consider building a new station for Norton Bridge. What I struggle with, in this country, is the refusal to even consider continuing with an integrated bus service. The DfT stated in their consultation document that...

That maybe what the DfT imagined, but the Staffordshire County Council consultation proposed otherwise, hence my intervention. The Council review did indeed have the 14 group of services (which serve Barlaston and Wedgwood) in review. The 13 group of services (along with the 14B Bank Holiday...

Staffordshire County Council has, today, announced the outcome of a major bus review/consultation. http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transport/publictransport/buses/Bus-review/Options/The-options.aspx What is interesting is that all four of the options, consulted on, proposed ceasing the...

Ah, the new ones I've been getting must have all been ones posted to me then.

I've collected a few old style tickets from Stafford (Virgin Trains) recently as well.

Whilst I agree with the advice (pay up and then appeal), I do wonder if this is covered by the Byelaws. It seems to me (based on the information provided by the OP) that they 'won' the appeal against the original (Byelaw) offence and have now been hit by a 'late payment' charge. Failure to hold...

Northern do currently specify how long you should not have to queue more than here: https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/news/latest-news/955-save-time-with-northern Under the Frequently Asked Questions section, they state: Just to emphasise the important bit "It is unreasonable for you to queue...

I made my first (and second) ever hovercraft trips yesterday. My inclusive rail ticket's route stated "ANY PERM+HOVRTVL".

They suggested I got in touch with their Customer Service number. However, as I wasn't directly affected, I've left to those affected to pursue. And as I know one of those affected, I'll no doubt get an update at some point.

Northern did a similar thing last weekend. See my post here.

I seem to have got involved in a twitter debate, with Northern Rail, over last night's abandonment of passengers due to the flooding between Halifax and Rochdale. All services, through Hebden Bridge, were suspended last night and passengers told that no alternative road transport was available...

That's what Northern were saying. However, I noticed later that they were advising passengers to organise their own transport and submit claims to them afterwards. EDIT [UPDATE]: I've just had another look at Northern's twitter feed. The advice, about organising own transport and claiming back...

Got caught up in the flooding, yesterday, travelling on the 17:43 Bradford Interchange to Manchester Victoria service. Just before Hebden Bridge we were advised that the service would terminate there, as the flooding, by that time, would not allow the service to return from Manchester later and...

Agreed. And just to confuse, 'Hurricane' is also a descriptive term at the top end of the good old Beaufort scale.

Its all to do with sustained wind speeds which, in most countries, is the average (mean) wind speed over a 10 minute period (N.B. the USA only uses a 1 minute average, so figures quoted in the USA tend to be higher). Using the Saffir-Simpson scale, there are 5 categories of hurricane (all based...

As a matter of interest, would this be covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and, in particular, the part covering Unfair Contract Terms, which includes ensuring that contract terms, including those in notices, must be transparent? If the above comments are to believed, then the terms and...

Keep printing off the itinerary, each day, so you can show that it was still showing as running 3 days before, 2 days before etc. A few years back I missed the last train back from Manchester to Stafford, due to my train into Manchester being retimetabled (a day or two before), causing me to...

Agree. However, given how long its taken the 'Get Me There' card to work on the trams, let alone the trains, in Manchester, 2018 seems wildly optimistic. Unless, by 'most of the network' he means London of course.
