That's true. But in the ?hypothetical case, there are £5k electronically available funds. And the single ticket is £3.10. On the other hand, I wouldn't dream of fare evasion. It's morally wrong, unfair on everyone else, (and as a further incentive, am pretty sure it's a firing offence -...

^^ This. The OP, however, leaves out the motivation other than the asserted willingness to pay cash at the first opportunity. There would seem to be a number of passengers that might take a similar approach and aspire to avoid paying fares, say, 90% of the time they travel due to travelling...

So she has experience of consumer advocacy, highly regulated industries? How is that not relevant for ORR? You also don't make the same claim of Michael Luger, Graham Mather, Rodney Norman or Justin McCracken? Is it just because you came across her first on the page?

It's not necessarily the people you would imagine either. The worst I ever encountered was an aggressive woman who - despite us being the only two in the pool, and me having been doing the same lane for 15 mins before she came in - absolutely insisted in swimming in *exactly* the same lane as...

Yes - claim is submitted. However, at least one online site (open train times) is suggesting the train stopped according to the timetable, which doesn't bode well for the claim. (It didn't, it was driven through very slowly). We were quite surprised to be told to arrange taxis via the...

There are some Thameslink trips that are just so bad they are worth documenting for posterity. So - Friday night just gone. One train had been cancelled, so a few more than normal caught the next train going North from London around 23:20. It was slow and a relatively trouble free...

On the original case, the Sun seems to have more details. The dog was very little. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7229530/dog-died-caught-train-doors-thameslink-rose-barry/

I'm pretty sure the 700 doors have a time out feature. Drivers will know for sure! It's too long to kick in for a normal platform does, but does for e.g. trains starting at a station. On the original incidents - couldn't you simply have two versions of sensitivity - one that stops the door from...

And I couldn't see any comms about it - trains just vanished from the apps. The passenger groups are clear that the service continues to be shoddy... Thursday night was also particularly daft because after an 1hr plus gap, there were two trains 10 mins apart - and of course the first was 8...

And may not have been profitable...

The parliamentary inquiry was launched on 5 June. I submitted my FoI response for this information on 6 June to Network Rail and ORR - some time before the committee hearings. It's been a long time coming. Someone else looks like they got to DfT on the 8 June. I've not had time to pore through...

The core is fragile. But it's the lack of contingency planning and communications that really compounds it. From City, you get advised to walk to Farringdon or Blackfriars (not entirely safe late at night; most people wouldn't actually find Farringdon; and pretty unpleasant with luggage and/or...

Common across a number of UK industries UK was an early adopter Lots of legacy infrastructure High population density Those that started later, or space/opportunity to almost restart have found the upgrade path a lot easier (and a more difficult investment challenge).

It's lazy journalism because it's published pretty much every year. But it is the summer season, the heat is making the tube really unappealling, and so understandable. lol I know you know City isn't on the tube network! A lot of people still don't realise about the south end of Blackfriars...

As a passenger waiting at City Thameslink....it was diabolical service and communications. The problem wasn't the Cambridge train. The issue was north of City Thameslink. In terms of the first trains blocked to my knowledge, a West Hampstead was taken out of service into I think the Snow Hill...

I don't think it's common - I go past mid morning regularly and don't see. However, GTR's problem is a lack of the right drivers in the right place, not a lack of rolling stock.

This week... we had a 700 taken out of service because the main AND backup wind screen wipers weren't working...

KFC has a niche which makes it pretty resilient even post Chickengate Five Guys opened a store in Luton. Let that sink it. I'm sceptical about the quality of any market research that led to that. It's almost always empty. The Toby Carvery it replaced was usually busy. And I prefer brioche...

I'm not sure I understand your proposal, and where is all this extra space coming from? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossrail#Eye_of_the_Needle

No. But Shapps did have a second identity as Michael Green (and possibly a third) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/grant-shapps-who-is-he-theresa-may-pm-plot-overthrow-two-names-jobs-a7986761.html
