There were (unsubstantiated) on-line comments that Network Rail had paid the previous owners for repairs to the drive access due to vehicles churning it up. Hence a view by some that further monies could be extracted for future access. To be honest, as suggested by @styles there is a lot of...

Contact the help shown on the ticket / confirmation email etc. Direct contact will most likely be quicker than indirect via a forum.

One correction to the long list. The death was not the occupier of station cottage. Source: John O Groat Journal 28 July 2021

I believe it is connected to an Interdict that Booth and others had awarded against Appleby and others, to prevent harassment of Booth, family and their visitors. The interdict expired naturally (after three years) a short while ago. A timeline provided by @norbitonflyer had this line: The...

Many countries in Africa south of the Sahara had single lines from a port to the hinterland. Perhaps the 'national borders' exclusion excludes many. Democratic Republic of Congo has or had several isolated lines / networks. To the south-east the network links through to Zambia and Angola but...

Okehampton Interchange. A private opening ceremony on 31 July and public service from start of service on August 1 is being widely touted. Sources seem to be a notice in non public areas at Exeter and the local press. The Moorlander states: The Okehampton Tines states: None of the...

Someone needs to tell GWR: Source: GWR website 1785358802 Nor on the ORR website which usually has a press release when opening is authorised. For example: Source

If that is what is required to get the re-opening 'over the line', so be it. Remember Gwynedd was a 'dry county' for a very long time. PS I think getting this regularly regurgitated proposal over the line will require rather more than 'a few' on board drinks. Source: BBC News article from...

Undoubtedly. But monitoring performance, then applying remedies (financial or ultimately removal) takes time, effort and money. Poor performance has to be evidenced, it might end up in court and it assumes the franchisor cares about the service themselves. Think what actions the DfT have (not)...

It would cost me £2.40 to get to the nearest big supermarket and the same to come back. One mile each way. That £4.80 return is the same as an unlimited travel day ticket for the entirety of the Smart area in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle. One of those feels incorrectly priced. There is, and it...

Curmudgeonly spoilsports. All of you! :lol: More importantly, assuming two platforms will be required at Aberystwyth, where will the Wetherspoons drinkers relocate to?

I would agree. Many of my recent searches have come up with some very illogical results Jim (human brain logical not software, it knows no better). Including offering more expensive split tickets than direct through tickets.

There are lots of people putting out information. None of which is sourced. No confirmation when I checked online resources yesterday. I fell into the Realtime Trains trap previously and had to keep revising the opening date every time the source data changed (frequently). For the avoidance of...

The peoplesfundraising website does a comparison of the main donation options, the table at the bottom of the page perhaps being the most useful. There are various ways of looking at things and it doesn't really pull out the 'voluntary tip which is automatically applied unless you go to the...

I'll name that tune in one (younger people may need to refer to the internet or repeat TV quiz channel to get that). Just Giving. The charity pays a payment processing fee anyway: Source

Is this any different than the January update? Both quotes extracted from an announcement made on 13 January 2026 and available in full on the West Yorkshire Combined Authority website here: Deadlock Broken

But you've got to check Trivago. Hey Benny, he didn't check Trivago.

@londontransit I've done some searching. The 1969 map of Kinshasa is free of copyright and licence so can be freely downloaded and shared. It is available here on the Stanford University Digital Repository. Downloadable at various sizes, I found the two largest failed but 8045 x 5512 worked for...

Excellent, that bloke dancing on his own at the start of the clip seems a little over-excited, but if you haven't had a train for 15 years why not! Towards the end of the Kinshasa - Matadi video, as they arrive at Matadi station, there is a locomotive under wraps. I guess this is one of five...

If there has been a theft of property, it needs to be reported to the police. It can then be investigated, the perpetrators identified and them brought before the courts. No good just casually mentioning it as a side in another (possibly related) case. How can it be difficult to establish who...
