    invalid railcard

    On the one hand you obviously regret your wrong-doing, which is good since it shows you have learnt your lesson and will not offend again. On the other hand, you are over-thinking it all. I know it's easier said than done, but take a deep breath and try to put it to one side for the time...

    The 'fraud letters' process

    Whilst hopefully not going off-topic, I do sometimes wonder about giving advice to people who have received a trawling letter and who have admitted not paying the correct fares, when we advise not to reply, we are effectively denying the TOCs some income which they should have received. Do the...

    Also, no-one reminds you when the Railcard expires, so make a note on your phone to renew it just before it expires.

    invalid railcard

    If you actively engage with them, show them you have learnt your lesson, and in their opinion you have shown that you will not reoffend, then you should be offered as settlement. If you string them along with lies, obscurification, and misleading information (not that I am saying you are doing...

    If SWR want to take you to Court, they have 6 months in which to do it. Therefore, they will be writing to you fairly soon, probably 3 - 4 weeks depending on their workload, (but it could be longer if they start researching your Trainline account), in order that they stay within the 6 month limit.

    West Yorkshire bus franchising

    Would the increasing move to EVs remove the fuel price volubility? I assume electricity prices do not change so frequently.

    West Yorkshire bus franchising

    I've not seen contracts like that. Those in London were typically 5 +2 year contracts, so presumably there is no penalty for terminating at 5 years. And what happens if the contracted is terminated after 3 years because the contractor has gone bust - there would be no money to pay such...

    West Yorkshire bus franchising

    Although it is possible, does it happen in practice? A lot of tenders in London have been handed back, presumably because of cost increases not reflected in the contract price.
