From The Oxford Clarion this week: Quite annoying, especially the bike part. No mention made of whether/when they plan to bring it back. Related is the general difficulty of "giving back" a reservation when one wants to switch train ... leading to the vast numbers of unoccupied (by the...

https://committees.parliament.uk/event/20663 There's a link to watch online, and instructions on how to attend in person, on that web page.

I had some thoughts related to this (invalid) excuse for the evident failure of GWR to provide an adequate train service, which followed on from the “declassify first class when crowded?” thread at...

moderator note, split from this thread: Strange wiring on an Azuma 801 228 | RailUK Forums (railforums.co.uk) in my experience it's impossible to use my iPhone if it's plugged into a charger on one of these, some sort of EM interference makes the touch screen completely glitchy and unusable …...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/gwr-class-165-166-turbo-diagrams.157030 I notice very nearly all the hopper windows are open. Air-con not working then? In all three carriages? Nice. They are locked shut these days, right, so that only traincrew can open them? It...

I'm aware of the thread at https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/chiltern-angel-trains-hybrid-class-165-trial.169977/ but it is locked for further replies and the event starts in 90 minutes so I thought I'd better post, mods please do move this post to there and reopen the thread if appropriate...

The Semantic Web Journal has issued a call for papers for a forthcoming special issue on transport data on the web! I'm hoping that some of the professionals and academics that work in the field and frequent this forum might be interested in submissions, or otherwise at least will be interested...

As per this video [ *] ultracapacitors provide a different trade-off between electrical power capacity and delivery, when compared to the best current state of the art “battery” technologies. For short-timescale high-power output (and input) (but lower energy storage) applications, they are...

It seems that both GWR and Chiltern have switched away from the “mixing deck” (my preferred ticket purchase user interface), which used to be quite common, to a different one. I had a quick look at LNWR, and at Southern, and they too are using something else. I finally found that TransPennine...

According to https://www.gwr.com/plan-journey/tickets-railcards-and-season-tickets/booking-tickets-in-advance as of today, the following journeys are not yet open for reservations: from Monday 1 January through to Friday 9 March 2018 for services between London and Oxford/Worcester/Hereford all...

There's a disagreement between the various available ways of determining the arrival time of this train at Oxford. The published timetable (fetched today from GWR's website, attached) has it arriving at 2117, which is eight minutes earlier than all the other sources I've tried. There's no...
