I remember taking that to and from the airport. The airport station is a tiny little request stop with an extremely basic platform. That must be the only airport in the world to be served by a heritage railway station. I certainly can not think of any others. Although i highly doubt any ordinary...

I have used that station before and i am not a local. It is only a ten minute walk from Podgorica airport to Aerodrom railway station and then a five minute train ride in to Podgorica city centre. So it is by far the quickest option. It is also the cheapest option. But they really ought to...

Buckland in Surrey has a couple of houses on the North side of Rectory Lane only accessible by level crossing. Brockham in Surrey has a couple of houses on the North side of Chalkpit Lane only accessible by level crossing. Bourne End in Buckinghamshire has a couple of houses on the South side...

They can also run as two units coupled to make up longer trains. Island Line have run 484+484 formations in passenger service to make up a 4 coach train. So the 230 could potentially work fine on the Windsor branch if they did this.

The new MK5A stock has both ASDO and manual SDO options. The full ASDO option allows the doors to be released as normal and the train automatically knows which coaches to open. The manual SDO option requires the guard to go the rearmost coach that fits and use a switch. It is still not known...

Will this be the first time that a 171 has gone on the Paddock Wood route? I know they have gone via Battle many times but i have never heard of this before?

What i find crazy is how many different SDO methods are currently in use. There are at least fifteen types in use. You could probably break it down in to even more types when you consider that some ASDO forms work by carriage and some by door. All of these following types of SDO at short...

I forgot there are some closed door ones too only for employees. Those are much harder to find out about. No public information anywhere. I think all of the ones on my initial list are open door ones that can be used by the public too. What is the logic behind running some as registered public...

How about this weird one that used to sometimes randomly play at Southern stations back in 2018 towards the end of the Amey system. "Royston, Royston, Royston, Skipton, Rotterdam CS, Welham Green, Try To Remain Calm, Shepreth, Royston, Royston, Royston." I never worked out what was causing...

Surely it would be possible for the Traffic Commissioners (or DVLA or DVSA or VOSA or whover it is) to employ some inspectors whose job is to ride around on different operators checking that they have complied. I am sure i heard that they already have inspectors to check that services are...

Following on from my thread about bus routes with the same timetables on all seven days of the week, it made me realise that a lot of these are services that operate specifically for workers to get to or from a specific work site, and are likely paid for by that work place. I never realised...

No but certainly still fairly rare. Almost all of them are either special work place buses or airport buses or night buses. I have yet to find any ordinary city routes that run to the same timetable seven days a week. The only ordinary daytime bus not serving a work place or airport is Carlone...

Can anyone think of any other bus routes that have the same exact timetable on seven days a week? So it has to be exactly identical with the same amount of journeys on all seven days a week and the same exact timings at each stop on all seven days. These are obviously very rare with less...

Compliance of this new law is utterly appalling. So many operators have completely failed despite having over a year. Vehicles that first entered service after 01/10/2019 should have had announcements and screens over a year ago and yet many still do not. The dates of the new law are as...

New York City John Fitzgerald Kennedy airport and New York City Newark airport are both connected solely by rip off monorail things. So it is debatable whether they count. You have to take the monorail which then takes you to a railway station outside of the airport rather than it being an...

Basel is a French airport. It might serve the Swiss city of Basel but it is in French territory. So officially it is a French airport rather than a Swiss one. It has a railway station within walking distance. Saint Louis La Chaussee is only a short fifteen to twenty minute walk away. So not...

Is the plan to completely scrap stamps and remove them from border offices once EES is fully rolled out and in operation? Or will stamps still be kept as a back up option? If they are being kept as a back up then is it likely that a policy will be in place to stamp on request? So could somebody...

No that bus has been suspended since December 2022 and has still not returned. If you look on that link you sent it says that "Please note that the Airport service is temporarily suspended." so it seems that it has still not restarted. The only public transport is a 45 minute walk to a metrorail...

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out route history for community bus routes? I am trying to find out what route 5 was that Handcross District Community Bus operated. Currently they run five routes: 1 - MO - Handcross to Horsham via Lower Beeding 2 - TH - Handcross to Burgess Hill 3...

There are still quite a few major airports with no railways serving them. Reykjavik in Iceland has no rail station. Kaunas in Lithuania has no rail station. Riga in Latvia has no rail station. Tallinn in Estonia has a rail station located a ten minute walk from the terminal. So i still count...
