It does seem when theres an event on at the Pricipality, they station security/event staff at stations along the Marsh's line, I've seen them at Abervergenny, Cwmbran, Newport etc
We obviously know that Hitachi, CAF & Stadler can produce new Bi-Mode trains with a minimum of 110mph, can any of the others compete and have capacity to produce a product at short notice without a 3 year lead time when the franchise is re-let in late 2019, early 2020? Bombardier, Siemens &...
It was one ticket, it's now fixed, I'm happy with what the outcome is, I claimed from Southern and that's what I needed to know right at the beginning, hence my scatterbrain who should I claim from do I need to apply for each leg of the journey, it's not something I do regularly, and needed...
Yes it would be fraud which is why I won't do it! My double delay repay question was related to needing to claim for the 25min delay on southern, then claim for a 50min journey with SE, which actually would only achieve 75% of my single being compensated, this why I needed clarification on who I...
The reason I said it for is if my Southern service was on time I would have been on the 18.40 from VIC to AYH and that arrived 71m late which would have entitled me to have claimed from SE as their leg would have been the delay, I didn't because Southern buggered up first! I have no intention of...
Yep, I did give them an iternery, and late last night I got a confirmation that they are paying out! 100% of the single!
The greedy person in me has thought about sending a request to SE as well as their journey was seriously delayed as well, but because both Southern and SE are Govia companies...
Just to put a suggestion out there, what are the chances that when the WCML/Virgin franchise is re-let very soon, they require them to give up their Voyagers and make them procure Bi-Modes for the north Wales services, releasing them for XC or whoever takes over XC
So when is XC franchise up for re-negotiation?
Because I can't believe that without a new franchise agreement Arriva have absolutely no interest or financial incentive to invest in new rolling stock, look what they did to their Arriva Trains Wales franchise we know they purposely underinvested...
That being said will WMT be looking to keep their 172s, they are technically turbo stars if you lose the driving cars will the in between carriages be cannibalised to add carriages to 2 car sets?
The main reason I suggest this is they are the ******* love child Bombardier that make no sense as...
It'd be useful to get their hands on more Turbostars from either Scotrail/WMT/Greatern Anglia/Northern this would help provide extra carriages.
Theoretically how many carriages long can you make a Turbostar? It seems they are running as 2 car sets recently!
Booked iternery lol, this is network se land, just a open ticket, but I will state my planned journey clearly and concisely and see what they come back with, at the current rate claiming from either operator will probably result in a 100% refund right now it's gonna be a late night
Good evening ladies and gentlepeeps,
I've just had a 25 minute delay on a southern service from East Croydon (ECR) to Victoria (VIC) that in turn made me miss my South Eastern connection to Aylesham (AYH), the next SE service then doesn't leave the station on time 25 mins late due to a bridge...
RTT is a must for me, it allows me to annoy Se_railway on Twitter when they regularly can't run a service on time! Also being able to find out which platform at a terminus station a service that makes the return service is pulling into is great, it allows me to pass through the barriers before...
As a bloke with a rugby player physic, big shoulders & a beer belly, I can confirm the 3 + 2 is just bloody stupid, it's just not gonna happen even if a 8st 5ft tall man or women decided it was a good idea to use the middle seat!
I've even felt like I need to reduce my general size/spread when...
It's more a case if the EU put tariffs on for example UK built Jaguars or Nissans then we will go tit for tat on say all vehicles from the EU, cars/buses/vans/trucks/trains
If they don't then I can't see there being a problem, but be realistic this negotiation stage is a complete clusterf%*k...
Correct, he books assistance they never turn up to get him on or off a train, when his train is cancelled they fail to check if he is coming by checking with either the guard or the station a train was stopped short at!
Having watched this the other day I've watched a number of his videos, I feel that disabled passengers are not getting a fair deal, in fact I think the current delay repay system doesn't even scratch the surface in fixing the issues, there should be huge fines and penalties each time they fail a...
