Vols Electric Railway or Manx Electric must have some pretty old stock.

It's embarrassing for Scotrail and Scotland that despite hollow 'green' soundbites everywhere you have to print off 3 paper tickets to get anywhere when booking as rail staff. Whilst missing trains when there's a queue at the TVMs

OK, thanks for the help.

That's what I was thinking. Will that allow me to break the journey in Glasgow?

I won't be using LNER at all.

Hi any suggestions for the following. I'm hoping a Euston Edinburgh open return will cover it or the most expensive legs. Day 1 London to St Annes on the sea tmmr on 14.30 ideally. Day 3 St Anne's to Edinburgh with a break of journey in Glasgow on a Sat Day 9 Edinburgh to Rugby. On a Friday...

Sadly that route is appalling now. My only suggestion would be for her to sit directly behind the driver and if any issues make them aware.

Thanks for the advice, sounds like too much aggro, will probably rent a car or go somewhere else.

I've already got my FIP card though plus my partner will be arriving after 24th so can bring the coupons with her.

Because some shift swaps have been agreed I'm looking at going to Demark from 18th Aug. As it's short notice I can only request my coupons commencing 24th Aug so will just be using FIP from 18th to 24th. How easy is it use in reality and can I buy FIP discounted tickets from ticket machines...

It's arriving into Donny nearly an hour late. I'll try and see it there later today.

That's very helpful. Thx

What I can't fathom is what are the unions doing about it? Why for example do we have early trains being driven at the end of a night shift, when there is no operational reason to do so. They are not even the first train out. Similarly we have jobs finishing on lates at 02.20 which could...

Do DCC (Drivers Company Council) drive too?

I understand this also happens in the building industry.

Spot on. No one will accept this. Will the civil servants (who have just had a very nice backdated pay rise) work with such conditions too?

Our certainly has where most are afraid to report fatigue issues. I doubt we are alone. Our ridiculous shift patterns are a ticking time bomb imho.

Most common one are birds, particularly pigeons on early shifts the day the clocks go forward. Hit loads then as they aren't expecting trains 1 hour earlier than expected! The other is badgers during mating season on the third rail as they seem to go wandering more then.
