It might not be the case on the Isle of Man, but certainly in most of the UK, potholes are on the up, while the speed of repair is on the way down. If there was more public funding available, that wouldn't be the case, but choices have been made - it is not an unlimited purse, and as you have...

Roughly opposite platform 7, between the exits to the bus station on the South Eastern side. Not sure on opening hours.

The situation is virtually the same then and now. Huge demands on the public purse, which exceed the incoming revenue. In the 1970s, we ended up at the International Monetary Fund for a bailout. Given the current level of government borrowing, a repeat performance is quite possibly on the cards...

Not seen figures for Norfolk, but the low fare experiment in Cornwall, which was supposed to be a national pilot, is well and truly over. The lack of concrete information on what it achieved suggests very much that it was not value for money. Fare subsidies were unaffordable in the 1970s, with...

Lytham and St Annes are in Fylde, which as the other part of the message stated: So it will now all be in a single council area, including the rural hinterland to the east of Blackpool.

They do - they have a one bus working on routes 174/175, which is roughly hourly across the day.

Compass has a pretty comprehensive section on their website describing temporary changes https://compass-travel.co.uk/service-updates/ Below is the entry for the 32, which is currently able to serve some points in the evening. Unless the Highway Authority that permits the closures is so minded...

An unintended consequence of trying to drive information down to stop level accuracy. You need to know where the stops are in order to provide the information! As has been observed elsewhere, it is possible to be clear or to be comprehensive, but rarely both at the same time.

All three of them in this location are no longer in use, as the road has been realigned within the last few months. This section has been pedestrianised; replacement stops (with Adshel-type shelters) are 30 to 60 feet to the east, alongside the new northbound road. Incidentally, they are listed...

I think in this particular example that the pavement side is not public highway, but under the control of Hatfield Business Park. Herts CC thus has no rights to put in any bus infrastructure without the permission of the landowner i.e. the Business Park. I know of an urban example where we...

It's both an OS grid reference, plus latitude and longitude. Accuracy varies from place to place...

Unmarked stops are now usually known as Custom stops, as that is the designation used in the National Public Transport Access Nodes (NaPTAN) database. The records for every authority can be downloaded from https://beta-naptan.dft.gov.uk/ Having just checked those for two authorities that both...

Ditto - sorry!

Ramsgate's 1926 opened station (100 years old next week) replaced the ex SER Ramsgate station (600m away) and the ex LCDR Ramsgate Harbour station (1.2 miles/2.0 km away).

Unfortunately the two half-hourly services providing this link run 7 minutes apart, creating two 23 minute gaps each hour, in both directions. With Thameslink's summer reductions, there will be only 3 trains an hour. Rail replacement buses calling at all stations were scheduled at 31 minutes a...

The same engineering works today have seen a St Pancras-Faversham-Dover Priory service in operation, which is possibly the first time that class 395 have been scheduled to call at Canterbury East.

I think at Wye - where it was a crossing keeper rather than a signalman - that the role was split when Railtrack was set up.

They've also managed to create a route B from St Ives to Cambridge, which also crosses Busway route B at Swavesey and Longstanton...

I doubt Arriva will have planned what they intend to provide as yet. However, the last time 26 December was a Saturday was 2020. Arriva ran a special timetable on routes 2, 101, 166 and 700. Sunday services applied on 27th, 28th and 1st; Saturday services on 29th-31st. There were early finishes...

Perusing the accounts on Companies House shows that Arriva Yorkshire hasn't paid any dividends for at least 5 years.
