I've lost track of the ICE1s - are any still running as 14-car which was the original?

It was common elsewhere: the layout at Brockenhurst and Wareham was set up that way, as was Elmers End originally. At Barnstaple and Okehampton only an Up Main platform was available but the process was the same. Aberdare is interesting: it's similar to Penryn in having both platforms on one...

Success, though the response reads rather oddly. Your complaint will take longer to reply to let alone resolve.

The Ely-Sheffield and vv were replacements for the (North Country) Continental. I was in Cambridge in summer 82 and used it to take my new fiancee to see old friends in Worksop. (We came back ECML and the relationship has survived.) The unit had taken us from Cambridge half-an-hour earlier...

Try Kentrail https://www.kentrail.org.uk/ (at least for the newer one).

Paris-Nice (couchette) is an option, or Munich- Milan (also rather a detour from Paris. From UK I'd do Brussels/Paris-Munich (much subject to engineering works) or Amsterdam-Innsbruck/Zurich. But with a 6hr daytime journey P-M is borderline for a night train.

Ta, I'd missed the explanation. I've edited my last post as I spotted an ambiguity.

In answer to your last question - if you cooperate fully from now on you will almost certainly be offered a settlement. However you must expect to pay the full fare for all the times you have cheated, plus an admin fee which could well be over £100.

The first thing you must do is fill in the spreadsheet as accurately as you can. This gives you the opportunity to identify each legitimate journey in a way that make SW's task easier. You don't at this stage need to explain exactly why - save that for later in the process if necessary. BTW...

Yes, of course, but that doesn't address my comment.

I thought the big growth recently was in leisure travel, which is largely discretionary. Reduce leisure fares and people may switch mode (gain) but equally existing customers may spend the balance on something else (loss) rather than travel more. Similarly for commuter and flexible business...

I would take out the two sentences about the Inspector as they don't add anything - keep the letter short :)

And out of Wakefield too?

But neither delay repay nor a refund is compensation for uncertainty and inconvenience. For this, I would be asking for a goodwill gesture or similar for the poor information which caused it - and the tube fare from VIC to CHX as well as the taxi fare.

Said link says 60mph - previously the DEMUs had a maximum speed of 75, though as the journey times in 1963 and 1982 (online) were pretty much identical I doubt they actually exceeded 60 by much.

Indeed - but beyond pre-1918 Germany and perhaps Austria it's much less common.

Quite, and terminating at Kent House is the obvious alternative.

What's wrong with booking a CIV ticket for £66 https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=LNE&dest=BRI&ldn=1&tkt=EVS

Excellent. I can't remember if there is a RRB from the city centre or only from the Metro.

Removing the Ladywell Loop (especially the down one) would make the civils' life much easier as the geometry is awful (to the naked eye) and it's 20mph. Removing the junction with the Courthill Loop would bring much less advantage.
