    Exploring the FEVE in Northern Spain?

    The railings below the metre-gauge Concordia Station (closer to the river) are the site of the old Bilbao - La Naja Iberian gauge station. I used that station in 1993 when my family and I first rode the FEVE along the coast.

    StopBoard - free live bus departure board for every stop in Great Britain

    Yes, that is useful. And the beauty of today’s technology means OP can build something that meets their needs and share it with others who may likewise find it helpful. But if it’s not useful to you, that’s fine too.

    StopBoard - free live bus departure board for every stop in Great Britain

    I'm generally an AI sceptic but I've vibe-coded myself a simple web app for my local bus stops (not using any APIs, just links to existing published resources, organised in a way that avoids many clicks and taps that would otherwise be needed to switch between different sources and stops, and...

    (ignore) Rail Minister Peter Hendy Resignation / Firing (edit: not true)

    Think it's probably an artefact of the way that gov.uk content has been reorganised / segregated following the change of PM This page is for his current ministerial responsibilities https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers/minister-of-state--235

    Go South Coast

    Further digging reveals the U3 (Southbourne - Talbot Campus) is also having its term-time evening service removed, and will finish three hours earlier than in the last academic year.

    Go South Coast

    Morebus timetables for beyond the September change date are now in bustimes.org if you manipulate the URLs Only change I've found so far is further cuts to the U2 between Talbot Campus and Poole, which loses most of its evening services (having dropped from 2bph to 1bph earlier in the year)

    StopBoard - free live bus departure board for every stop in Great Britain

    A feature to easily jump from the currently visible stop to the 2 or 3 closest other stops would be helpful in town centres and bus stations etc where stops are clustered and you might want to check several stops. eg at Bournemouth station my buses home can leave from any of four stops.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    I get quite a few National Express ads on Facebook. Strangely the prices quoted as the lowest price in the ads (for eg Bournemouth to London) are always much higher than the actual lowest prices available to book. The deals available are much better than the ad would have you believe!

    Go South Coast

    I've always thought it's quite impressive how Morebus juggles vehicles and drivers to make all this happen. It's a nifty deployment of resources which ekes as much as possible out of the assets, to the benefit of the passenger

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    I was on a London-bound 035 on Wednesday that made an unscheduled stop at Rownhams services because the aircon wasn't working. It was getting quite unpleasantly hot on board. Fortunately the driver (Gareth) managed to reset the system and get the aircon working again. He got a well deserved...
