Have you looked at section 2 (2) of those Regulations ?

Edinburgh Trams don't operate a penalty fares scheme. if you can't present a valid ticket on demand, they charge the "on-board fare" of £10. The same concept applies on First Bus services in Scotland - the "standard fare" which was £30 last time I checked (although I've never seen or heard of...

What do you think those bigger priorities are? I would hope re-building patronage is the priority, rather than dealing with any perceived employee grievances. In case railway staff haven't noticed (which is entirely possible), Scottish inter-city coach operators are enjoying a boom time like...

Perhaps it conflicts with one or more principles in Scot Law, which of course differs from English & Welsh law in several respects. 1686096670 Just to follow up with some PR agency's recycled quotes on this latest "initiative". :rolleyes: ScotRail (2019) ScotRail (2023)

In my experience, ticketless is rife on certain ScotRail routes. Particularly in Ayrshire and other areas south/west of Glasgow. There may be "ticket checks", but what can one on-board staff member do when 15-20 feral youths tell them to f-off? 1686093027 I'm not aware of where these RPOs will...

There are - but only to Glasgow Central, not the usual destination of Glasgow Central/Queen Street.

As per their news release ScotRail ticket fraud crackdown I'm not sure what they will be able to do with anyone caught out (no penalty fares or private prosecutions possible). The validator shown in the YouTube video linked at the end of the news release is a TTK device (a scaled-up version of...

LNER made a detailed presentation of this topic some months ago. It is available on the IMechE's YouTube channel here.

Partick?

So the 14:00 ex Fishguard will be no use for onward rail travel from Rosslare Europort - the last train leaves at 17:30!

I didn't say it was. If you work in a given industry you can generally get to know which manufacturers are "winging it" and declare conformity without testing. I worked for a long time in telecoms in the energy industry, and the documentation requirements for the projects always required us to...

Viasat are going to be pushing into the rail market once their ViaSat-3 constellation is in operation (Americas this summer, EMEA in early 2024). The antennas these days (electronically steerable phased arrays) are not so large that would cause a problem on a train (they are fitted on many jet...

UKCA and CE are simply "declarations of conformity" by the manufacturers. Reputable manufacturers will have test data and/or certificates from notified bodies to support their declaration of conformity. But there's nothing stopping a manufacturer from simply declaring conformity in the...

it's worth having a look at this FoI response from LNER. There's about 1/3 chance of no chilled or hot food being available on morning LNER departures from Aberdeen. The causes are said to be "inadequate Wi-Fi" and "staff lending charging cables to passengers"...

Any description of the failure? We never seem to hear too much of the detail of the failures. I remember back to when sets were being "failed" because the crew didn't understand how the door locking worked ("disco lights").

ScotRail will sell SailRail Standby Single (£57.00) for the daytime sailing on 23rd May. Of course this means leaving Paddington late on the 22nd so that you can make the Swansea to Fishguard train.

That made me laugh! How often we're told on here by railway staff when any changed method of working or new idea is proposed that "it's the way it's always been done". Certainly drivers used to use the passage to move from HST cab to rear of the power car. Maybe a small turntable at Haymarket...

Is there someone able to provide clarity on exactly what "a small number of LNER journeys" means? Does it include any flows starting/ending either north or west of Edinburgh, for example?

Incredible. Only on the railway would you be told off for looking at a monitor located on a platform next to the timetable and advertising boards. It's the same type of display as I saw at Cheltenham Spa, BTW.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the ITSO specification for national rail tickets has no concept of a specific timed ticket? e.g. an Advance. ScotRail are issuing Advance tickets on ITSO as "Off Peak Single" (according to the ScotRail app and ScotRail TVMs) or "Super Off Peak Single" (according to...
