As many of you will know, Huddersfield Train station is being seriously upgraded. However, despite the bus station being only a few hundred yards from the train station, it is necessary to navigate a busy road. 1. Could a well lit subway be constructed from the disused platform (currently with...

The section of line from Ravensthorpe to Leeds via Dewsbury is currently closed mid-week for 6 weeks. This undoubtedly makes the upgrade faster and cheaper than the previous weekend closures. Weekend travel is likely less time-critical for many and for the vast majority of passengers the...

I have noticed that whenever any suggestions are made for increased frequency or new services from farther north on MML, they are always rebuffed by 'southern part is full up already'. Would people like to offer suggestions as to how that southern half capacity might be increased?

In addition to boring new tunnel from old Oak Common to Euston (with all its capacity issues and problems during construction) could that bore ALSO go further as a through route and link up with HS1 somewhere east of kings cross? Some WCML trains, could then terminate at Stratford which I think...

1. Are there any trains which terminate at New Street which, given a connecting track on approaches, could be then transferred to Curzon Street which will have spare platform capacity? 2. If above is possible, then could some of the HS2 trains go to New Street instead, again assuming a new track...

On TPE service on final part of journey from Huddersfield to Glasgow return first classp. No delays, all connections met, great friendly service from Avanti and TPE, generous food and drinks. This is how rail retains and gets new customers....well done to all involved.

I can see the obvious advantages of tactile paving near platform edges to warn blind passengers of their whereabouts and potential inadvertent danger when no train is present. However, if said blind passenger goes to a station not so equipped, how are they made aware that there is no tactile paving?

Tried to buy a ticket huddersfield- slaithwaite return today, with west yorks senior metro concession card. Redirected automatically to GreatNorthernrail website. Told to create new login password. That website did not offer wyorks senior Railcard so rice was higher and furthermore said there...

I would like to suggest that on-train side-facing displays are provided on future rolling stock to indicate whether there are working toilets on the train.

Whilst on holiday, I've been on a coach today with seats made by Spanish company irizar. Take a look at their website www.irizar.com. The seats are comfortable and have decent padded cushions. Why on earth can't these or similar typed of seat be specified for rail use instead of bone hard ones...

What would be the effect of closing one or both of Oxford road and Deansgate? Three heavy rail stations including Piccadilly seems a tad generous in such a short distance. More like tram network.

As above.

HS2 has employed some of the most highly paid public sector directors, senior staff, project managers, technical experts etc. There appears to have been some poor decision-making, poor cost control matched by commensurate ability to move on having got their coin before the sh"* hits the fan...

My wife and I have advance tickets purchased through lner. 2nd class on northern hudds/ EMR sheffield / -st pancras Saturday 2nd Sept which may well be strike affected. We are attending a gala dinner and have to be there on time, so catching a later train isn't possible. We return the following...

Many EV car makers appear to be gouging the public (Tesla cutting £6k off price and still making good profits and others able to follow), whilst legacy still making good profits on Non-evs). Why not have a levy on the manufacturers to pay for EV chargers so that there are a reasonable number...

Yes, I believe they are far less friendly to the environment. When I hear the BBC have correspondents in countries yet fly an expert roving reporter out so he can say it's a fire etc which any Muppet could say.

I am fed up of listening to radio 4, TV and reading other news media where there appears to be a constant diet of stories saying everything needs more money spending on it. Pay, NHS, sewerage, water, trains, defence, education, immigration etc. What I don't see on the news is how we are going...

Uphill stretch of M21 motorway approaching Barnsley turnoff Traffic approaches bottom m of hill at 60-70mph. Warnings of congestion. Speed limit reduced to 40mph. Result congestion. There is no congestion, it is a product of traffic moving at 70moh being told to travel at 40 mph, this reducing...

What would the timing be for an hourly Liverpool to Newcastle only stopping at Manchester, Leeds and York?

If the terribly ugly (in my opinion) nation nal library was knocked down and relocated, why not have the old Sommerstown goods yard as the main HS2 station adjacent to st pancras and kings cross, with a through connection to HS1??
