    West Yorkshire bus franchising

    Are they announced to the general public today, or to the bidders? Typically there is a two-week window for any objections to be raised, so this is done out of the public eye.

    TPE Travel Irregularity Notice – Expired Railcard (advice needed)

    1.The usual serrlement is the cost of a single Anytime ticket for the 10-12 journeys, plus around £150 admin fee. 2. Place yourself in the shoes of TPE. They will want to be reassured that this will not happen again, and that they receive the correct fare income in future. So you need to...

    Brighton & Hove / Metrobus Discussion

    I think the loaned-in vehicles come from two sources. Firstly, contributions from other GoAhead companies, who would obviously only pass out their older buses which are spare (and keep the best for themselves), and secondly, buses from leasing companies. This second group would be the newer...

    Brighton & Hove / Metrobus Discussion

    Presumably it is costing Wrightbus a lot of money already in meeting the costs of hired-in buses - I doubt they would want the additional cost of replacing 40 hydrogen buses with electrics, plus infrastructure. I'm sure they will want to find a technical solution. After all, the double deckers...

    Brighton & Hove / Metrobus Discussion

    The 10.00 to Brighton would not get there until after 11.00, so could not be at Tilgate for the 10.56, so it looks like an error.

    Re ownership of land upon which railtrack is laid. Who therefore owns the land on which level crossings cross public roads - the Council or Network Rail?

    Sticking with Cliff Richard, in the film Summer Holiday, Una Stubbs appeared as part of a dance troupe. What was the name of that troupe? Clue - there is a link between this name and The Sound of Music.

    Deliberately Misleading Car Park Signs designed to catch you out?

    ..... but misleadingly described as Pay On Exit, as in Pay On Exit When Leaving The Car Park On Foot, rather than the usual expectation of Pay On Exit When Leaving By Car.

    Could facial recognition at ticket gates reduce fare evasion?

    But if I am accused of fare dodging, even though I hold a valid ticket, based on a photo taken when the ticket was supposed to have been fed through the barrier, how can I prove that the program is wrong, or the camera and barrier clocks are out of sync? I can't prove I'm innocent, even though...

    Could facial recognition at ticket gates reduce fare evasion?

    But that would rely on the program linking the ticket read and photo image is correct and in time with each other, and how could passengers prove or dispute this Following the Post Office Horizon scandal, I would not be convinced that all computer programs are correct.

    Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/swr-cracking-down-on-vauxhall-waterloo-doughnuts-short-fares.305495/ I think that there is an element of anxiety for those travelling on a train for the first time. I know a 14 year old who moved house, and had to start catching...
