Turn javascript off & use adblockers if you can, it's a must for Reach PLC sites.

Reliability is an issue with the 479, had a look & according to bus times the 08.40 today's service actually departed at 08.56, checked for yesterday & Monday's service, & it they still departed 10 to 15 minutes late, so it'll be squeaky bum time if you have to be in Guildford for exactly 10am...

I wish they'd change the Rovers & Rangers section of the site & list them in alphabetical order as it's a mess right now, you have to look far down [& have to give a good hard look for the Rover, or Ranger you want] the page for likes of Cumbria Round Robin, also Cheshire Day Ranger is right...

Looking at the Thames Clipper & prices are £21 for an adult all zones day ticket, which looks decent value when you can go from Putney to Barking & back as many times as you like & stop off as many times as you like too. Definitely something i'm considering on my next visit to London which most...

Something that has slipped under the radar, a new range of day rover tickets for County Durham, Tyne & Wear, & Northumberland have been launched, valid on all operators as well as the Metro & Shields Ferry. https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/launch-of-new-joint-day-tickets

Merseyside PTE Leyland Atlantean 1300, was preserved then found to have chassis rot (well at least a serious issue with the chassis) which meant it had to be scrapped, which is a shame as this was one of the first of the batch of the Atlanteans delivered to the PTE with the AN68 chassis...

Here's some pictures from the Daily Mirror site (yes i know it's Reach PLC which are awful sites) which show the extent of the damage, but i'm not sure how it affected the rail services. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/lockerbie-bombing-30-years-on-13686204

I remember the infamous £43k fare dodge at Stonegate, even though the fare dodger paid an out of court settlement, the person ended up being named & shamed, got sacked from his job, & ended up banned indefinitely from his profession, so it can happen

Another way could be GWR Reading - Paddington (or EL Reading - Tottenham Court Road then change at Tottenham Court Road for the to tube for Euston), LNWR Euston - Liverpool changing at Crewe, then Northern Liverpool - Wigan. You can get cheap tickets for LNWR for the Euston - Liverpool As...

I used my Merseytravel issued ENCTS pass on the X2 from Preston last week & driver asked for my destination & i was then issued with a zero fare ticket. i think it's ridiculous protocol when the pass has been recorded by the ticket machine, & a waste of paper.

Mischief Night for me, it was awful for anyone out on a bus after 6pm last night in Merseyside with buses being bricked, it was that bad all the West Derby Road routes (12, 13, 15, 18) got suspended for the rest of last night from 9pm last night, might be suspended again tonight as further...

Accident in the Penmaenbach Tunnel has closed the A55, diversion route is via Capel Curig & Llanrwst 5, 5D are not operating through to Conwy & Llandudno

I only ever watch Youtube on my laptop using Chrome browser, with adblock installed (Ublock Origin is my go to adblock) Youtube is unwatchable otherwise.

Good point, sunset in late December is between 15.30 & 16.00, (sunrise is 08.30 to 9am) you won't see any of the scenery because of the darkness. If you want to do the sleeper for the scenery, then your better off traveling between April & August (preferably May & July when daylight hours are...

Indeed, & as i said Chester is more of a traffic objective than Nantwich & Crewe ever will be, if TfW ever decide to extend the T3 beyond Wrexham, i do remember Arriva extending the X94 to Chester a few years back (i might have a timetable for it somewhere) not sure how long it lasted.

Not a chance in hell, their is nothing between Wrexham & Nantwich other than Holt pop 1500, & a couple of tiny hamlets, & Nantwich is not a traffic objective for TrawsCymru either, plus 90% of that route is in England. Chester is more of a traffic objective for Trawscymru than Nantwich ever...

I've been on the N9 a few times times, & it's been very reliable, journey time is accurate, traffic is non existent that time of the day. The N9 is every 30 minutes, so if you really getting anxious about missing check in, then catch the one 30 minutes earlier, gives you 50 minutes on arriving...

Indeed, the concourse feels like it's miles away from the platforms, & the concourse is far too small to deal with the crowds in any sort of disruption, then even when their has not been any disruption you have trains announced minutes before departure, so you get that scrum to the trains when...

I wouldn't bother buying a Merseyrail Daysaver, an all area Saveaway is 5p more at £6 with the same time restrictions (your not allowed to use Daysaver for journeys starting between 06.30 & 09.29 Monday to Friday), & Saveaway has wider validity on buses, non Merseyrail Trains, & Ferries in the...

Wigan area routes were 5xx & 6xx series, Stagecoach changed the numbers in 2018 I doubt TfGM will renumber Rosso, Bury & Rochdale locals, think they'll leave them as they are considering the numbers are Bx & Rxx
