Do they show the price as GWR do on the zone map?

I did have 1 horrendous bus driver on a trip from Swindon to Kemble, staff at the station were great, but the bus was from Bristol &, obviously thought he knew the route better than the directions given to him. This, however, was to prove wrong, a number of passengers offered to help direct...

This is going no where in the forseeable future, until the trains are refurbished. The trolley was a nice idea, food & drinks delivered to your seat, without thinking through the practicality of busy trains, people standing blocking the route, and the reduced offer as someone has to push it &...

Can't see this being a starter, need to be long enough to hold the 2x5 trains, as could run on this route. The only space is the car park side, if they remove the building to the South, however, this would take out most of the parking at the station. Would GWR want the inconvenience of very...

Get to Pilning if you want to see him, he's getting into platform 2 rather than the sky platform at other stations

I'm on a train from PLY to SWI with no catering, due to staff shortages, the TM at PLY said those of us in 1st can make a claim for compensation, has anyone successfully done this? The one from EXD just went to see what was available & put the trolley in coach L

On commuter routes into London on the GWML the lack of capacity at peak hours would mean numerous people having to Agree, On commuter routes into London on the GWML the lack of capacity at peak hours (even after the increase in seats with the new service) would mean numerous people having...

Today I travelled from Plymouth to Swindon in first class on a direct service (circa 3 hours) & only saw the trolley once, just before Newton Abbot. Others in 1st who got on after were asking the train manager about this (who, did start handing out bottles of water). It was caused by too many...

Can't see any TOC wanting them, firstly their age & condition means it will cost to get them up to spec for a new TOC. Secondly, the one area they could do a job is to boost a limited rural service, but, they are electric & these areas aren't wired and, when they come to the end of their life...

Bristol was historically a county on it's own, except when it was part of Avon.

Couple of questions on this: How consistent are the drivers in stopping in exactly the same spot each time, in order to make sure they hit the spot each time Will it work with a platform that has trains travelling in both directions (P3 at Swindon) - guess it will,

This has been disputed, some people say it's Sweyn's dun (hill)
