Thanks for the info. I thought there would be some others. Although there doesn't seem to be as many these days as there once was. I guess all the cuts to councils may be why less and less buses are owned by them. Yes i believe all the ones with East Sussex County Council and Surrey County...

Thanks for all the further replies so far. Interesting to hear your views. Certainly some very different opinions! But each to their own! I must say i am not really a fan of Safeguard buses. I am in Guildford regularly and will always wait for the Arriva bus instead. I find Safeguard to be...

Does anyone know why Newbury & District doesn't show but all other brands of Reading Buses do show (like Kennections and Reading Buses and Thames Valley etc)? Are the Newbury & District vehicles not fitted with the necessary tracking systems perhaps?

Yes i imagine the price is probably extortionate. I can't imagine them charging Mainland Europe style prices for it. I think i might email ATOC (or Rail Delivery Group as i think it is now) and enquire about the prices. I would certainly be interested to know.

What are your favourite and least favourite bus liveries? What do you like or dislike about them? You can include current companies or defunct companies that have shut down. The new Arriva livery is one of my favourites. I think it looks really smart and nice. It is a nice simple livery as...

Interesting. I never knew that. How much do ATOC currently charge for it? Is it available in both standard class and first class versions? I wonder why there is no publicity about this. They must hardly sell any.

Until a few years ago Go Ahead Brighton & Hove used to charge an extortionate flat fare Single of £8.00 on all of their night buses. This was a massive rip off at four times the normal £2.00 day time Single price. Luckily they have since used some common sense and now charge the same ordinary...

I thought they might get the first class version! They are MPs after all! Not a surprise really! I can't imagine Emmanuel Macron and his MPs wanting to mix with the common peasants! Interesting to hear that Denmark has withdrawn theirs. I suppose it must not have been that popular. Was it good...

Thanks for the info. I didn't realise that France had one as well. It seems crazy that it is not valid on RER or Transilien trains within the Ile De France region especially considering that they are normal mainline trains! For the price they charge (which us higher than they other ones i...

Thank you all for the info. Interesting to hear which other countries offer this. I suppose i meant countries that you can buy a ticket from any mainline railway station to any mainline railway station. Obviously i accept that some stations that are right next to each other (like we have Catford...

Joining the EEA of EFTA is the same as remaining in the EU. This is not upholding the referendum results. It is called remaining in the EU in everything but name. In fact i would rather remain in the EU then remain in some sort of EEA or EFTA deal (and i am very anti EU and pro brexit)...

Whatever happens though it will only inconvenience a small percentage of people. Like i said only a small percentage of our population has actually used their right to live and work and study in other EU/EFTA/EEA countries. Yes many people go on holiday but that's normally only a few times a...

Is there any time frame as to when First are intending to sell the other depots by? When will they fully be gone from Manchester entirely?

I think if the town or city has a university then that really helps. I have noticed that those with universities seem to have the best night bus services. Brighton is another one where Go Ahead Brighton & Hove operates the N25 (Brighton to Falmer) every 10 minutes all night long and 7 days a...

Interestingly that link says that citizens of Andorra will be required to get an ETIAS visa as well. I imagine that they would be much more affected by it then us! Considering that they are landlocked by France and Spain and the only way to get anywhere is to go in to France and Spain as they...

Currently the EU lets citizens of many non EU countries visit visa free (within the Schengen area) for a three months (90 days) period within every six months (180 days) period without needing any visa or permit or esta style visa or anything like that. They can just turn up at the border and...

I have just been looking at train ticket prices in other countries (just as i was curious to compare them to the UK) and realised that most other countries actually sell annual network wide rover tickets giving unlimited travel on all trains in that entire country for an entire year. What is...

Which countries (in Mainland Europe or anywhere else around the world) currently allow you to purchase a ticket from any station in the country to any station in the country just like we offer here in the UK and Ireland? I know that this is one of the good things about our ticketing system and...

Just a quick question i have always wondered about using concession bus passes for cross border bus journeys between our different provinces (England/Scotland/Wales). Am i correct in thinking that all English/Scottish/Welsh passes can be used on cross border services as long as you have either...

I don't know to be honest! I suppose i could have indeed just said buses!
