    Russia-Ukraine war: Poland

    Russia is attempting to do that right now in Ukraine. That 2 week blitzkrieg Putin was attempting is fast approaching an 18 month campaign. I live in Poland and can tell you that tourism hasn't stopped. In some cases I'd wish it had as over tourism is a thing (think Barcelona). Accommodation...

    Alcohol on Romanian trains

    So you went to another country and you didn't make any effort to check local laws or customs? I'm not sure what you want people to say, ignorance is no defence. Why do you describe it as a problem in Romania? To me this smacks of British exceptionalism and you would have done far more to have...

    Krakow to Przemysl 11 October 2023 and return 17 October 2023

    The booking horizon in Poland is 30 days, so you won't be able to buy the tickets before then.

    Is there a debate about dual door buses outside the UK?

    Still doesn't invalidate what I wrote though.

    Is there a debate about dual door buses outside the UK?

    But these are my views, and so saying the same as someone else clearly supports the position doesn't it?

    Is there a debate about dual door buses outside the UK?

    I haven't read all the comments (sorry), but this is such a nonsense debate. I live in a European country and all buses have more than 1 set or doors. Noone is falling out into mud or other such rubbish, and the concept that one set of doors are sufficient would be laughed at. In reality, it...

    GTR fare increase in May?

    Why not use Oyster or contactless? It's a lot cheaper.

    Rail station with wrong county name: should they be renamed?

    The Ashford in Surrey is still referred to as Ashford, Middlesex. It's interesting as Middlesex doesn't exist in any capacity really as a county. I guess they do still have a cricket team though... 1683920554 The train station is Hayes and Harrington though, so I guess that differentiates it...

    Berlin S Bahn fine

    Depends on what details were taken and what ID was recorded. Usually a non-German would be made to pay on the spot wouldn't they?

    Berlin S Bahn fine

    I assume you don't live in Germany then? To be honest if that's the case I'd just forget about it.

    Berlin S Bahn fine

    Have you paid the fine already, and if not what details did they take from you?

    Improving HS1 Services to Medway

    Maybe, but Chatham was always the main station out of the 2 and the fact remains, that even the "fast" train is slower than it used to be before HS1 Deliberate attempt. Before HS1 the trains were faster and with fewer stops. Canary Wharf is a fair comment, but the City is accessible via Cannon...

    Improving HS1 Services to Medway

    The service was reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and never really reinstated. It would be nice to see a proper fast Victoria service which after Chatham, would call at Bromley South and then Victoria (it would skip Rochester), like it once used to. Since HS1 was introduced, there was a...

    Heathrow Express travellers defecting to Elizabeth line

    And direct services to London Bridge, Blackfriars, St Pancras then North to Bedford, Cambridge etc... Plus services to Reading, the South Coast. Gatwick by far has a better service than Heathrow.

    Heathrow Express travellers defecting to Elizabeth line

    Errm, no it isn't. I used to commute daily from Ealing Broadway to St Paul's and it took 30 mins, that is arguably beyond what is deemed "Central London". Train to Paddington and then walking to Lancaster Gate is no way faster.

    Opinions on Brexit

    Yes indeed. So for EU laws, the UK would to have legislate for it to become UK law. The UK has in fact voted against a small amount of EU laws and thus demonstrating it legislates for itself and maintains its own sovereignty.

    Opinions on Brexit

    So the UK should tell the UN, WTO and IMF to do one? Do you really want the UK to be completely isolated from the world community?

    Opinions on Brexit

    And yet the UK is now dismantling workers rights... 1675515717 I'm talking about Tory voters, so that fits with your comment about why the Scots vote for the SNP.
