Northern Rail have replied to what I am assuming is your tweet about this very matter that you would not be able to use it past Carlisle. Edit: Although I am interested, what is this complimentary ticket you have? Was it some sort of promotion or something like that? (Certainly dont get...

Have they implemented my idea of requiring headphones plugged in before the app will play any content with audio?

In theory interaction with the TVM would not be that difficult. In theory.

So ScotRail are not having a good day. There has been a points failure between Perth and Gleneagles. Nothing completely unusual, these sort of things happen. This is affecting services between Glasgow and Aberdeen and Glasgow/Edinburgh and Inverness. The problem ScotRail are having, is...

I do understand that the driver is not permitted to use the ramp, I do not have an issue with that at all. The incident I am talking about the driver did come down to see what the problem was, from how he spoke he believed that there was a TE on the train. The issue(s) are: The driver...

I have personally done the bookings days in advance and staff claim they dont get them or somebody didnt phone somebody. That doesnt really help when my friend is stuck on a train because nobody turns up at a station with a ramp, other passengers moaning because the train is delayed. Just...

Yes, I have some (read a lot) of experience with no Ticket Examiners on DOO services. As a companion of a permanent wheelchair user, what is the proper course of action for alighting a train with no TE on board and unmanned stations, or stations where staff are not available at the time?

Hi folks, Anyone know what the current state of the Strathclyde Manning Agreement is? My understanding is that there basically must be a TE on a DOO service or it must be cancelled. I regularly see evening services with no TE on them, and wondering whats happening

The tweet in question seems to have been deleted, there was a reply as can be seen by the final reply from @honestsouthern9 but not there anymore Tweets in question: https://twitter.com/stoatsnest/status/739882371051360256

I am not a wheelchair user myself, but companion my friend, who is wheelchair bound. Even with me there, it is still extremely stressful using the railway network. There is always the worry that you wont get on the train, staff wont turn up with the ramp, bikes chained to the wheelchair space...

If this is gonna be a thing on Virgin Trains from now on may I suggest that they make a slight change to the app, so that it only works if you have headphones plugged in -_-

Well that list is definitely not 100% correct as its showing that two of my local stations have no TVM when they do

Are you specifically looking for services that use part of the WCML and dont stop? If not there are plenty of ScotRail services using the WCML around Motherwell: Edinburgh/North Berwick - Ayr (and vice versa) Glasgow Central - Lanark (and vice versa) (off the top of my head, im sure there are...

Surprised I cant see this posted yet, but there has been major disruption at Uddingston affecting ScotRail, CrossCountry and Virgin Trains WC services since just before 1700 today. 380022 was involved in this incident, the exact cause is under investigation but from the picture you will see...

Question kinda related... When the court imposes a fine like this, where does the money go to? Is it to the court or to the railway company?

Unfortunate use of the colour red in the logo used for this

Channel Tunnel engineers unveil plans for high-speed monorail to Glasgow Airport http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14524072.Channel_Tunnel_engineers_unveil_plans_for_high_speed_monorail_to_Glasgow_Airport/?ref=mr&lp=3 Not that familiar with monorail technology (except for what I learned...

They do have ways of checking and verifying, as there was an article not that long ago about a couple who were done for claiming for delays they hadn't experienced. (They had tickets and then checked to see what services for that day were delayed long enough for Delay Repay) I cant remember...

Ive seen some of the tweets your talking about and i just assumed that it was someone with a background in railway engineering

I travel on the 380's which are part of the Desiro family and its rare to see their toilets out of use
