The solution: scrap day returns and have all returns valid for a month. It's simple and would remove all confusion, so it would never happen because Railway.

There are loads of villages called Tal y Bont in Wales.

British Rail did it decades ago - the blue day / white day era.

It's how London Waterloo, Charing Cross, London Bridge and Euston terminal platforms were worked for decades until ticket barriers were installed. (And probably the others that I didn't use.) Euston still has gates on some platforms.

This is often the case for journeys in the Glasgow suburban area too. May possibly be an artifact of how scrapping peak pricing differences was done.

Dodgy wheels, obviously. Whether or not it had dodgy wheels, this is a positive - trolleys in aisles are nuisance and I'd prefer to see the end of them. A "fixed" trolley makes more sense.

The rearmost door isn't for public use, it goes to the kitchen.

When the London terminuses were built they'd have been more open, e.g. with cab roads etc.

You're the first person to mention MPs in this thread.

I've only used 805s so perhaps I'm lucky, but based on thise I don't really understand the massive dislike of the Hitachi trains sometimes expressed on here. The 805 has a good seating layout, proper vestibules and the only criticisms I have that spring to mind are pretty picky - the manual...

Do we have any evidence that Trainline have done this?

You don't need to assume that. All taxis in London have been wheelchair accessible for donkeys years.

Some overthinking here. The answer here is: as you know the system and how it works, claim from TOC A in the first place.

That's not the meaning of reasonable here, and what is being suggested isn't that the person asks someone to read it for them, rather that the TOC could offer to read it - which is something that does happen in practice. In this case though, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an element of...

What's the supposed benefit of this? Where are the kids on the bus going to and why?

Weren't class 455 (4 car) and class 456 (2 car) combinations also used to make up 10 car trains, so the same cab could be on an 8 or 10 car train? (Or 2, 4 or 6 cars!)

As exactly that happens all across the country every day it's rather easy to imagine that train of thought.

Anything can get nicked when you're not looking. Where are your passport and keys at the moment? I'll bet they're not both on your person. You're right that caution and preparedness is in general a good thing, but dear me this thread is dripping in sanctimony! 1787065034 I have a spare key...

A 70s style government information campaign explaining that sometimes the weather changes and some summers are hotter than others. 1786986603 I wonder if some people arrested for arson will use that as their defence, if they end up in court. Not putting any money on that.

No, because trees, probably much to the disappointment of the press, haven't started combusting because a train goes past them. 1786986247 Killing the roots of buddleia in many places on the railway would perhaps cause a lot more risk.
