Thank you for the quick response. You're spot on I was checking prices with a 16-25 railcard, and was unaware of this £12 minimum fare. Nice to know for future reference!
Looking at fares between tamworth and rugby. An anytime day return at 10:47 is £7.25 however before this time an anytime day return is £11, both via any permitted route. Seen quite a few instances of this. Does the £7.25 ticket carry a certain restriction or would it be just as valid on services...
None of the East Midlands HSTs I've been on recently have been fitted with PIS screens which I'm quite surprised about given all the refurbs of their fleet they've done.
Maybe something to do with the 10 minute reservation system that was part of the XC franchise agreement?
But if they can do...
Was this service going to Leeds on Monday night? I caught the 19:03 HST from Birmingham New St which has these PIS screens fitted.
I can imagine Train Managers are very happy about this movie ;)
yesterday there was a special from Sheffield to Chesterfield at 17:59, which got me wondering who would have been responsible for organising this? and since it left 15 minutes late would the TOC have been fined in the same way as late running normal passenger service?
There might not be many places for them to go, but there's still the possible harm they could cause to other passengers if they are of a violent nature
Correct. I was traveling back from Sheffield to Derby recently on a Voyager that had WiFi installed and was free to use. I believe there are currently two units in existence with WiFi installed but don't quote me on it.
just looking at the live departure/arrival board for derby and noticed and arrival from liverpool lime street which continues on to nottingham at 00:21 - never noticed this before, assuming it's a one off as the same journey doesn't exist for the same day next week...
For example, when running the national rail journey planner it won't admit the 06:20 service from Derby to Sheffield exists and it won't admit a 21:30 from London St. Pancras to Derby either, instead suggesting a 21:35 departure from Euston involving two changes. Anyone else came across anything...
