So, some interesting developments appear to be happening with buses in East Anglia outside of the mass repainting which is going on with First Eastern Counties. I'll get the ball rolling with the latest Suffolk Updates. Galloway are giving up routes 115 and 116 which are going over to Ipswich...

Is it me or does the standard of passenger information being supplied at Cardiff Central leave an awful lot to be desired, both in spoken and in visual form? I understand the fact that every announcement has to be in English and in Welsh, but is there also the need to announce every single...

This week Greater Anglia have announced that they are going to be providing extra service to Southend Airport, at first glance this seems great news for those departing on early services and late arrivals and would be a welcome achievement. However it has now been revealed that following the...

So Greater Anglia are replacing their orange LED Infotec screens with some smaller LCD displays in the name of progress it seems. Up until now I've only seen them go in stations without screens, or in stations with a single screen shared across multiple platforms, but now they seem to be...

Say for example I bought an advance for Norwich to Bath, which involved a tube leg between Liverpool Street and Paddington, what would happen if because of a Tube delay, I missed my train from Paddington? Would GWR endorse me to travel on a later service to Bath, or are LU delays in the middle...

Reports from multiple sources suggesting that Ireland's National Transport Authority (NTA) approached the ROSCOS in the UK about hiring some rolling stock to add extra capacity as it's likely that any new build trains will not be in service until 2023/2024 and there is a pressing demand for...

Well, seems I'm going to be in Poland for two weeks, having already been a week, and considering I've racked up 9 trains already and will probably hit 20 what better than to do a report on it when spending several hours on a train often with time to kill. I'll outline the departure experience...

Why are some of the intercity services not calling at Colchester? They're timetabled to do so on normal timetable and the GA site and alterations posters shows nothing to suggest they were not serving there but the weekend special timetable shows no call? Bit random? I know they are replaced by...

Should there be such penalties when the short forms go over a certain level? Should there be exceptions for stock that is getting refurbished or introduced into service or different levels of stock that is of a certain age? Just think out loud, because of the daily shenanigans on Greater...

Anyone watching the latest series that started last week and is on tonight? Quite a mixture of everything tonight.

Today I got sent a 30% discount voucher for National Express as compensation and this is the second time that I have been sent a voucher that does not allow me to use it on the advance online fares, despite the terms and conditions state it should. This has happened twice now when I have got a...

Is there any hope of the current issues being resolved anytime soon? The number of short formations is pretty high and it seems whilst the DMUs have the biggest issues it's also effecting suburban EMU services with the odd 4 car going around in peak also and quite often there is a carriage...

I see they haven't bothered to fix the X10/X30 debacle and no doubt the overcrowding will continue. Really should have made them evenly spaced.

The first vehicle wearing a new single Transport for Ireland livery for all contracted services has been released and will be wore by Go-Ahead when they start operating services in the Autumn according to current proposals. The idea is that Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead will wear the same livery to...

Gotta love the NBRU: http://www.thejournal.ie/irish-rail-vouchers-row-3752282-Dec2017/ I'm not sure how they thought going public with this is going to gain them much sympathy.

Greater Anglia have updated their app in the last few days which clearly hasn't been tested and I saw some very angry exchanges between revenue protection and customers. Essentially the main problem is that tickets bought on the old app are not appearing to transfer correctly and the return leg...

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/dart-services-disrupted-following-low-speed-derailment-1.3219838 Usual reports of people sitting on other trains for a long time that randomly stopped because nobody bothered to make an announcement. Even 45 minutes after the derailment...

Go-Ahead have won the tender in Dublin for all orbital bus routes in the city (10% of all bus routes) beating off competition from state owned Dublin Bus. Originally the field was made up of National Express, First Aircoach, RATP and Transdev as well, however all four of these operators are...
