Just ignore it. They’ll always be non-reserved seating onboard.

Yes I notice that quite a bit. Not many including myself bother to report it.

I heard about the immanent lifting of the ban when staying in Broughty Ferry back in April. I used several Scotrail services in those days and felt almost sorry for the catering staff whom I’m sure would’ve done far more trade if allowed to sell beers wine & spirits, particularly in the late...

Can’t say it bothers me too much. In a perfect world it would be but that’s not the way we do things in the UK.

I only want one that smells of coconut.

I’ve always got sun cream in my work bag during Summer. Not something I have ever considered my employer needs to provide.

:lol: The latter sounds painful.

The most important thing many overlook before wearing shorts is the need to get a tan first. That reminds me, I must get some milk.

Sorry mate I wouldn’t know as I have always been Anglia Railways. Hopefully somebody out West might remember.

I find last summers polo shirts here at GA very good indeed but apparently some complained so different ones have now been ordered for us. Unfortunately grey rather than the nicer maroon colour previously.

Good to hear. Thanks for sharing as I missed this.

That’s even worse in my opinion.

It can be done and was in the past but was and still would be an operational nightmare. This has been suggested so many times on this forum.

Drivers should not be away from the GSM-R radio incase of an emergency broadcast. ASLEF would never agree to this preposterous suggestion anyway. Where you just posting to bait?

Such a shame Avanti ended up in that embarrassing situation.

From what I read in MR magazine a month or two back, the full 3tph will resume in September I think it was. Surprised me it wasn’t December. West Midlands stakeholders are keen to see it’s resumption.

Ah yes, that too!!

That’s very positive news. DAS is only good for the clock ;)

I’ve ridden a few like that. Weirdly quiet in that vehicle but as they cross feed all HVAC and lighting works as normal from what I recall. 1750088085 I’m surprised that family of trains never had the eco-power treatment like the 185s. Say shutting an engine or two down in areas of less gradient.
