Yes, but judging by the comments from Cardiff Council, it is fully on board with the event, and given an early morning start is a prerequisite, I doubt it will be a problem. 1790265224 I can imagine the authorities may wish to avoid a situation whereby tens of thousands are waiting for maybe 3...

As has been widely speculated the Fury/Joshua fight is to be held at Principality Stadium on 11th December. The expectation is that it will be held in the early hours of the morning to cater for the US audience. I wonder what that might mean for GWR and TfW in terms of through the night...

Best to just continue this thread when ready, as Moderators would likely merge them anyway to give the full picture.

Yes, that is possible. If your son is prosecuted and convicted without their knowledge there is a process that he can go through once they find out to ask for the case to be reheard. It’s called a Statutory Declaration, and needs to be done quickly once he finds out, but I think we are getting...

Too late now, but the advice is usually not to delete the Trainline account. If they have managed to capture enough information about the ticket to ascertain where it was bought (maybe by taking a photograph of it) then they will still be able to get full details of the account. But your son...

The flirts might be perfectly fine, but they are a stop-gap measure and were never intended to run on the route. There was never the project and ongoing operational budget to run heavy rail units on the TAM lines and double the frequency. Ask the users in two years would they like their flirts...

They’ve been running from Pontypridd to Cardiff, no? So around 30 minutes which should be long enough to form a view.

In whose opinion? All the reports I have seen have said that they are perfectly ok in terms of passenger environment, including by those who admit to being surprised to say so.

You need to show us the Penalty Fare ticket for experts here to see if there is a technical breach of the rules that might get you off. But failing that, you made a mistake, and that’s what Penalty Fares are designed to remedy, with no suggestion of an attempt to evade paying the correct fare...

IIRC, somewhat bizarrely, the intermediate stations were reopened before Portillo refused closure.

It’s a long way back from Mexico…

The earlier train to Bristol was our choice as it was the through London service. But it was cancelled. And as for a later train, well that would then make us an hour late into Paddington, so doesn’t fit with our onward plans.

Indeed, I have just connected from the 1020 arrival from Nailsea onto the 1030 to Paddington, and with two big cases it was comfortable but certainly not excessive.

Nailsea reader here. It's worth noting that a year or so ago the timetable was enhanced to provide many more through services from North Somerset to Paddington, with roughly a two hourly service outside the peaks. And of course in the peaks there are many more through trains, particularly in...

Amongst the many things that forum member said, was, in Post 1559, after a list of things that were apparently wrong:- Well here we are four months later with 3 units performing all day diagrams, and on the face of it, with reasonable reliability for a brand new fleet. Yes of course there will...

You appear to have been on the train for 14 minutes before buying a ticket, so you should count yourself fortunate that you are "only" looking at paying a Penalty Fare. You could easily have been less fortunate and referred for prosecution, as waiting that long to purchase a ticket, and doing so...

No, but the difference is that both the lines you quote are going to be used for regular scheduled services. Whereas the suggestion to use Filton West to Henbury would be for infrequent specials for a couple of hours. Other factors are to consider are:- How realistic would it be to resource...

The OP tells us it was scanned.

But if an infrequent traveller starts their journey in London, they won't have actually seen those readers before making the decision to tap in. So I think it's a red herring in terms of your argument.

So maybe 600 at a squeeze. Yeh, that'll be helpful in handling the surge after a capacity 20,000 audience streams out. And remind me how many trains per hour they are planning. Oh wait...
