Bletchyite keeps telling Compulsory Reservations but cant tell how it will be done. I been on XC and FGW not enough people to need them.
In local train no way can be done.
I got no time for O'Leary publicity mad ego but he has changed a small into big airline.
Most airline charge extras for bag or seat or food. All need is to work out cost of everything and compare. If cost and time good Ryanair can be good, same easyjet ba Flybe wizz or hooever
I too don't have much time for him, that said he has changed a small airplane to a big one.
Interesting will be if he can get anyone to fly if quarentine is requires at both destination and on return.
My local TV showed various tourist spots in the south that was busy at weekend. Familys on beech and walking People not key workers want to be out.
It wont take much to make train busy.
If you opt to go via Koln if time permits a IC/EC or an ICE via the Rhine Valley should be considered. Train will call Bone Koblenze Mainz, take longer than the high speed but pretty.
Paris walk from nord - est is well name hotel kuntz
Yes but not encouraged whatsoever.
The Govermnent has continually stated that public transport is for essential journeys only and that other means of personal transport should be used if available.
Apology if you did not understand the point of my post.
My point being that IF you have barrier lines you can if you want have some control in access to platforms but it could only work at smaller station. Newark and Grantham were exampled as they used to have them have very limited trains with...

I have a talk with someone who had a delegation at work from China late last year. Several of their team sufferd effects like COVID19 a few weeks after the visit.
coincidence or COVID? good antibody test will be vital.
As you well no the law, guidelines and Government statements do not line up with each other. So YES the law does not state that public transport cannot be used for leisure travel but the guidelines and Government statements continually tell us not to use public transport unless there is no...
Possibly no unstaffed but plenty of places with no barier or shared with other TOCs. Barrier at Kings X and Newcastle were often open in normal time before COVID.
May be able to control Kings X to a degree. Waverly from the new bay platforms used by LNER. Others will be challenging to different...
Public transport should only be used for essential/work journeys not leisure journeys. That must stay at present to help maintain social distancing for those who must travel on public transport.
Unfortunately the Government has dropped a major clanger allowing,virtually, free travel for...
Do you really think that when a 9 or 11 car Pendo rolls into platform 3 at Coventry advertised for Int and New St however much shouting over the PA "only for resevation holders" that those going to Int or New St are not going to get on? Herd mentality will take over.
Watford Junction in my experience going toward Euston staff are good at spotting people intending to join trains that are not adverted and stoping most trying to get on. Going north trains are not adverted Watford at Euston that pick up only.
