    Caledonian Sleeper

    Clever misuse of "weather".

    Waterloo Station Upgrade

    What is the rush? These former Eurostar platforms have been available for redevelopment for 12 years since the move to St Pancras. Indifference and prevarication is the theme for this development

    Signal Passed at Danger

    I visited the North Norfolk Line last Sunday, but some services were cancelled because apparently a driver had failed to stop at a signal, and was not allowed to drive any more. Are these issues handled by the North Norfolk Line or does some external agency become involved?

    Android app

    The National Rail App tells you the destination of trains. Today I have used it for trains between Waterloo East and London Bridge, and it always told me the destination, eg Hayes, Dartford. Again I used for trains from Waterloo to Basingstoke, and it told me the final destination eg...

    Barrier codes

    The problem with rejecting so many valid tickets is that the manual inspection is not done. The person supposedly doing the checking just lets anyone with a piece of cardboard that vaguely resembles a ticket through the manual gate.

    Cancellation of Corfe Castle train

    Well yes it must be affecting visitor numbers, but Swanage Railway can hardly complain about this because they have repeatedly failed to run their own services to Wareham.

    Oh, I wasn't aware there was any management. Are you certain about this?

    ASLEF push for more female and BAME drivers

    So if you do not recommend it, why advertise it? That is ridiculous.

    ASLEF push for more female and BAME drivers

    No I don't. Do you recommend it?

    ASLEF push for more female and BAME drivers

    For what? It isn't my proposal. I would have thought that if you want to recruit more minorities and women, then you will need to recruit less white men, or do you suggest that the same number of white men are still recruited and then told to sit around doing nothing?

    ASLEF push for more female and BAME drivers

    Well it seems quite obvious that if you want to recruit people other than white men, then you will need to recruit less white men. Banning recruitment of white men would enable this new proposal to be implemented much faster. With such a broadening of the recruitment base, this will enable...

    ASLEF push for more female and BAME drivers

    I thought that this was aimed at broadening the base from which train drivers are selected, and as a consequence improving the quality of drivers. This would enable those drivers who are not up to the top quality to be redeployed to other roles. You say this is not the aim - so what is it?

    ASLEF push for more female and BAME drivers

    So I assume that ASLEF like to see: - A ban on white males being recruited as train drivers? - A percentage of white male train drivers being redeployed so that females and minorities could replace them? Seems strange to me.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I have serious problems and doubts about using Tripadvisor as the decision maker on whether to use or avoid any establishment or service.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Very poor design then.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    So if these 61 way connectors are unreliable when they are new and the weather is mild, what hope is there when there is snow or rain and the connectors have been subjected to wear and tear etc?

    Jacobite Train Tickets

    Ignoring the rather silly PM you sent me, I struggle to understand what more you are asking for, or expecting. Contacting WCRC seems the only option left to you, though for some strange reason you seem reluctant to do this.

    Jacobite Train Tickets

    As you clearly can't do much for yourself, I have done it for you. From WCRC FAQs: Will my tickets be sent in the post? You will receive a confirmation of your online booking via email, this also acts as your ticket, so please make sure to print it out and bring it with you on your day of...
