Anyone who thinks station car parking charges are "unfair" can always consider referring the matter to the Office of Rail & Road. http://orr.gov.uk/info-for-passengers/station-car-park-charges

All the services using Waterloo International went through the Channel Tunnel and therefore could be left out of account when considering whether a closure procedure was required. So, none was.

Note that services to the temporary station were designated as Experimental, so there was no need for a closure.

The Weymouth Harbour branch does not need a closure consent. When the closure provisions of the 1993 Railways Act came into force (1st April 1994), it already had had no regular, scheduled services for more than 5 years and therefore no 'qualifying use'. It is closed.

Yes it did!

While IPFAS is a part of Southeastern, I am wholly convinced that they assess penalty fare appeals in a completely impartial manner. However, on the face of it, it would be much more transparent if they were not owned by a TOC.

As the SRA was set up under the Transport Act 2000, it was several years from coming into existence in 1995.

Boats, buses and aeroplanes behave differently when overloaded, hence there are regulations about numbers. The mass of passengers on a train (even a Pacer) will never be enough adversely to affect its performance.

Bear in mind that under the Railways Act 2005, there is no longer any such thing as an "objector": all you do is make a representation to a consultation. Nor is there any longer a provision for a public hearing to be held to help the passenger representative body determine whether the closure...

There is helpful guidance on the ORR's website for complaints about station car parking charges http://orr.gov.uk/info-for-passengers/station-car-park-charges

Some heritage operators have their own Bye-laws, which are fairly similar to those applying to franchised operators - including Bye-law 18, ' Ticketless travel in non-compulsory ticket areas'.

Eire?? Only if you're speaking Irish, please.

Mountains; molehills. Haven't DfT said previously that they only need to approve changes that remove a previously permitted route, and that they do not need to approve mere changes to maps or routeing points? And surely if an actual permitted route is accidentally removed without DfT consent...

It's ATOC's responsibility to set the eligibility criteria for the Disabled Persons Railcard. Under s28(3) of the Railways Act 1993, every franchise agreement must include provision requiring the franchise operator to participate in every approved discount fare scheme. For these purposes...
