I think it's more that people understand mergers and takeovers happen and names change. I doubt they give two hoots about the business or factory history.

The back end inherently has to be a monopoly.

We already have multi-operator tap on/off capping in North Wales so the technology must already exist.

The platform dispatcher won't know where the guard will be until they step off the train.

The topic here wasn't whether different trains should be compatible with each other, but whether different trains should be able to be driven without drivers needing specific training on them.

It costs £50 for a day trip by train from where I am in North Wales to Manchester, and many people do it. £80 from the north of Scotland to London is a complete bargain in comparison.

The solution: scrap day returns and have all returns valid for a month. It's simple and would remove all confusion, so it would never happen because Railway.

There are loads of villages called Tal y Bont in Wales.

British Rail did it decades ago - the blue day / white day era.

It's how London Waterloo, Charing Cross, London Bridge and Euston terminal platforms were worked for decades until ticket barriers were installed. (And probably the others that I didn't use.) Euston still has gates on some platforms.

The rearmost door isn't for public use, it goes to the kitchen.

When the London terminuses were built they'd have been more open, e.g. with cab roads etc.

You're the first person to mention MPs in this thread.

I've only used 805s so perhaps I'm lucky, but based on thise I don't really understand the massive dislike of the Hitachi trains sometimes expressed on here. The 805 has a good seating layout, proper vestibules and the only criticisms I have that spring to mind are pretty picky - the manual...

Do we have any evidence that Trainline have done this?

You don't need to assume that. All taxis in London have been wheelchair accessible for donkeys years.

Some overthinking here. The answer here is: as you know the system and how it works, claim from TOC A in the first place.

That's not the meaning of reasonable here, and what is being suggested isn't that the person asks someone to read it for them, rather that the TOC could offer to read it - which is something that does happen in practice. In this case though, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an element of...
