How do you feel these people would gain? As far as I can see, someone like that booking on-line to travel tomorrow would be offered an SOS one way and an SVH the other, at a cost of half the price of an SOR and half the SVR price. Someone booking to travel in June would be offered a SOS and a...

Some more changes were published to the Routeing Guide on Wednesday. Changes from 25 Mar 2020 (300) to 22 Apr 2020 (301). Easement changes: Removed: 700890 (Map) On Sunday 08 March 2020, Cross Country services will be diverted via Newport (South Wales). This map easement will apply in both...

The fastest Swansea-Shrewsbury time I've found is still 2h 59min. The 18:40 is a bit slower (perhaps because it's timed for a 150?), but not massively. I imagine you beat a lot of timings now. There's a bigger difference for Shrewsbury-Cardiff (2h 23min against 4h 6min, for instance), as you...

When I checked, the Marches line was only 35 minutes faster than the Heart of Wales one. The 18:40 from Swansea to Shrewsbury on a Sunday takes 3h 16min via Hereford, stopping everywhere after Cardiff. The 18:17 on a Saturday takes 3h 51min via Llandrindod. Not usually, but the schedule for 2/5...

I've attached a list of flows which are set by Avanti, which have an off peak return (SVR) fare, and where there is no single fare which costs no more than 70% of the SVR fare, rounded to the nearest 10p. The vast majority of the fares either include a bus link, or validity on Heathrow Express...

What about people who are working? Fine them a few days' wages? I think there's a country in Scandinavia which does that sort of thing.

There would need to be some sort of evidence, or else someone could make something up on the spot. I have no idea what would be enough, though. The children for whose families the solicitors were acting had something in writing about them spending time outdoors, but an adult who has capacty...

I can't help with how the police may use this information. The police themselves would be able to tell your cousin, but they may not do so quickly. With regard to the "fine" itself, According to the official Coronavirus FAQ, you can leave your home for "any medical need". Following some...

Even a fairly minor road has far more traffic (in terms of vehicles per hour) than any railway. Local pollution is more of an issue for roads, even ignoring traffic volume, as they run past houses' front doors, where the railway is more commonly found at the bottom of their gardens. The...

You may be right, but the Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union must have found something to talk about yesterday.

brfares.com has data for an "ITSO CARNET 10" ticket here. They have a ticket here called a "GRAB &GO ANYTIME 1ST". I haven't found any reference to tickets being sold under this name, but the ticket code it uses is supposed to have had the name "CARNET PEAK 1ST" for part of last year. The most...

It's in the franchise agreement. They have to offer carnets for journeys between stations in the London Comuter Area and within the West Midlands Ticket Area by 1st April 2020. They don't have to make them good value. The carnets are supposed to be for both anytime and off peak day returns, but...

For a journey via Birmingham using Chiltern, I'd consider a "via High Wycombe" Wrexham super off peak day travelcard. It costs £32.00 (all prices with railcard), allows Wrexham-Chester-Crewe-Stafford-Birmingham-High Wycombe-London as a route, and allows break of journey (so you to start the...

From what I can work out, from May there will be: 70 Avanti flows with a SVS which costs less than 65% of the SVR; 47731 with a SVS priced at 65-70% of the SVR; 1687 with a SVS priced at 70-75% of the SVR; 157 with a SVS costing more than 75% of the SVR; and 2626 which will have a SVR but no SVS...

It's partly that, and partly the fact that Wolverhampton to Chester via Shrewsbury is a pretty indirect route in itself (11.25 miles further than the WCML via Wrexham, 23 via Whitchurch).

Or you could spend time finding tickets yourself and possibly book something cheaper. Either way, you are unlikely to ever know if you have the best ticket for your situation or not. That uncertainty seems to be the authors' concern. I think they are underestimating how much work, and how much...

Smaller juries would make things worse, as it's more of a loss when a juror drops out due to illness. Something will be done, as it's not good for anyone if a trial has to be abandoned due to the virus, or if a trial is delayed without any certainty over when it will take place. The "live" BBC...

The report can be found here. It says they'll hold a public consultation from some time in the spring, and publish the final plan in autumn. I haven't read through it properly yet, though.

There are a few other options: 1. Greenhithe-TfL zones 2-3 return This costs £15.90 a day (against £15.40 for Oyster and a Greenhithe-Greenwich return or £15.80 with a Greenhithe-Lewisham one), £47.70 a week, but the ticket is designed to let you change at Lewisham or Greenwich whenever you...

You lose something in admin costs, but you gain by not wasting money on giving cards to people who could easily afford the full fare. The median 30-34 year old taxpayer earned less than 15% more than the median 25-29 year old one in 2017-8 according to the ONS (compared with 27% for 25-29...
