    Yes. Took a trip down the M6 yesterday, and: - Tebay Southbound services had a queue of 2-3 non Tesla's for the Westmorland rapid chargers, the (probably twice as many) Tesla chargers had a few spots free (but are not yet available to non Tesla) - Killington Lake was down to 4 out of 6...

    Should Class 222's be moved from Lumo West Coast to East Coast?

    The Hitachi 803 units that Lumo East Coast run are of a significantly higher quality than the current West Coast 222 are/will be, even post refurb. The 803s have better passenger accommodation and seating, ability to use the OHLE, and of course better crash safety given they are 20 years newer ...

    Lots of luxury manufacturers (Porsche for sure), intentionally don’t keep stock waiting, as customers (especially the ones based outside Europe) feel more special when hearing their car has to be built specially for them. They have dedicated tracking system for customers so they can see where...

    First Rail Stirling (Lumo) Rolling Stock

    This is unfortunately the data that Lumo provides to this industry, and they don’t particularly care about errors such as this, something which applies to several other TOCs as well. The people at TrainSplit are redrawing every problematic coach layout, but it’s a time consuming job, but we do...

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    We've been able to reproduce it internally, but to the best of our knowledge it looks like an iOS bug, which we have reported to Apple. As a workaround, if you long press on the Add to Apple Wallet button, it will open up the UI so that you can add passes to your device

    ScotRail to introduce £10 minimum fare for those not buying before boarding

    Given that Scotrail intentionally only allow some fares to be sold from a member of staff (Kids for a Quid etc), if the first member of staff is onboard staff, will they allow for exceptions such as that too? Or will they permit more ticket types other than be sold via TVMs?

    Especially surprising given that the tables have been removed from the room!

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Small point of order: We are aware of a bug on TrainSplit (and TrainSplit powered products like the forum's ticket service) which may cause incorrect availability to be reported for trains like the Sleeper. It's to do with a supplier of ours and we have reported it to them, but for the short...

    East Kilbride/Barrhead electrification updates

    AIUI Strathclyde manning agreement permits electric services within Strathclyde to run as DOO, but when Scotrail tried to introduce DOO on services to Barrhead on electric services were introduced, staff threatened to strike and the plan was abandoned

    Passengers locked inside Hartlepool station

    Quite right. A guard should be well within their rights to decline to free passengers from a locked station, as that should not be their problem !

    My car’s app works by the car sending status updates via SMS (and mileage info is included as part of this). It doesn’t have to use a data connection specifically to get the mileage

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    ^I've had a quick look at the logs, and our best guess is that you happened to be a bit unlucky. It seems like the seat reservations for that itinerary, were trying to be made right as there was a data update happening in RARS (which is the centralised system for managing seat reservations), and...

    It's a range extender BMW i3, so the engine never turns the wheels, it acts purely as a generator for the motor/battery. Which means it's eligible for all the EV grants, it just isn't a zero emission EV.
