and Vauxhall via Waterloo. BTW: if the + Eltham option is no more expensive, it might be worth having anyway.

That affects the Catania end. Randazzo to Adrano is the best bit by a long way and I'm surprised it's not possible to fit with your schedule (first find the timetable.....:( ) Definitely worth prioritising.

Not quite (I was working on the service train): D0226 worked the 1100 round trip solo 78022 plus D8031 worked the special TnT to Oxenhope and ECS to Haworth loop 78022 ran LE to Keighley for the 1255 (with D0226 on rear to get it - D0226 that is - back up the hill). 75078 worked the remainder of...

Small point: each appeal stops the clock on the 21-day limit so you should still only have a £50 penalty. The wording on the PFN is supposed to indicate that but is at best ambiguous :(

Having boarded a train at Frizinghall towards Shipley this morning I can confirm: signage is prominent and has the standard (non-compliant) wording Promise to Pay appears on the home screen of the ticket machine, which was working (and is popular with the local litter bugs judging by the number...

But when Hastings trains are running from Vic, they do. Presumably the notice isn't displayed permanently?

A very impressive piece of improvisation by the loco department, also involving Vulcan on the service train for one trip, and with virtually no loss of time. Very fortunate that D8031 is back in service, sad that 48305 was unable to perform for the last weekend.

You were presumably issued with Penalty Fares - £100 plus the fare, each, reduced to £50 if paid within 3 weeks (or appealed). The present Penalty Fare system in West Yorks has been in operation for 6 or 7 years, and there are plenty of bright yellow posters and signs (or there were, last time...

It isn't, and it would be unusual to have a check at said stop or even at all. This thread concerns buses departing from outside stations in urban areas.

So poorer availability is 2/3 of it.

The letter may take some weeks - you are not the only one to try cheating :) It is unlikely that they will check CCTV (I presume there was some reason that your journey was flagged up?) but they will almost certainly check your purchase history to see how many times you have short-fared, and...

Does that mean they use "Open Return" = unrestricted Day/Period? I've just looked at my Northern app - the least unworkable solution I can see would be a 5th tab for "Day Open Return" but it would rather clutter the tab line (and the wording is a mouthful). Under that tab you would also have...

If you sign in and out (which I hope you do) then that evidence will be even better.

If GTR want to research your travel history they can - just concentrate when the time comes on the actual journey. It's unfortunate that you decided to short-fare instead of buying from your starting point, but I doubt it will make much difference if you engage with them.

Bear in mind that Waterloo-Exeter is likely still to be running the emergency timetable. Obviously check for ticket splits via our website (other websites are available....) :)

Lok-Report has an events diary (or did, I don't have reason to look at it ATM) which is pretty thorough. The emphasis on German specials seems to be more on nostalgia than luxury, and the buffet/bar gemütlich not cordon bleu :)

Curious, as on a random date they are available on the other 3 portions of NJ420-1/490-1 and AIUI the sets interwork.

Would it be worth having 2 half-length platforms - building out over the buffer-stop end of 1 to create 0 - rather as was done at Nottingham a few years ago? You would need to extend 6 at the country end too. Would that be operationally worth-while?

You can untoggle journeys in the app, but that doesn't delete any scan history AFAIK.

Lille-Eurooe isn't exactly busy: the TGV service is (1) "Province-Province" avoiding Paris via the Interconnexion (2) Dunkerque/Boulogne-Paris (3) Dunkerque-Lille TER-GV. which I doubt amount to more than 3 departures an hour. Sterilising two platforms for half an hour wouldn't be a major...
