31st May when a 398 runs a single unadvertised additional service between Taffs Well & Radyr, box ticked lol ;)

One thing I noticed last week when I was booking a Travelodge in Cardiff city centre for a Sunday in March, that the percentage difference between the fixed & flexible rates can vary, for the 3 branches within the city centre area (the one outside Central, the one near Cardiff Bay & the one...

Agreed there, if I was going to walk from Seaford to Eastbourne (or vice versa) it would be a case of checking the weather, that area you don't want to end up getting caught in heavy downpours or if the wind is arctic. At least these days anybody walking can catch the route 12 series bus back...

I guess it might flag up on a ticket from Folkestone due to the existence of the 'not via London' or the expensive 'any permitted' ticket which I presume could have the OP avoid Eastbourne.

Or even if someone has decided to rub spit (or another bodily waste product) over the touchscreen for a laugh. To the various systems the TVM is reporting that it's working until someone reports the screen is unusable. ----- If ScotRail moved into the modern era with PDF e-tickets rather than...

I guess comes into play if someone attempts to "short fare" on a bus. Boards in Aberdeen city centre, asking for a ticket for somewhere within the city suburbs but stays on outside the city area where the fare would be more? Considering it's only £3 for a single, in some areas a plusbus...

"This is British Transport Police" in the same voice as all the other auto announcements.

20/2: 701038 (Waterloo to St Margaret's) Cue the next one entering traffic this afternoon lol

Bringing back a passenger service on the 'direct' line between Wolverhampton & Walsall for the first time in a couple of years.

Sounds like it's something where the minimum fare tickets will be sold by revenue protection but most guards/ticket examiners will ignore and sell a regular priced ticket (including Railcards if applicable)

Stagecoach is the only main operator which displays prices Try looking for the cost of a single on the Adventure Travel run route 64 service between Ystradgynlais & Cwmllynfell etc

I did notice they are heavily advertising the £20 upgrade to the slightly nicer seats in 1st class at stations along the route.

If it means the prices for buses are displayed the better, no more nasty surprises when someone rocks up to a bus stop and asks for a single to X to be told it will be £9. Etc

A possible solution is for the industry to employ more security staff called something like 'bylaw enforcement officers' who have a zero tolerance for any anti social behaviour. Both visible and undercover. Get caught with your feet on the seat opposite, on the spot £100 fine, get caught vaping...

For that you will need somewhere like Burton on Trent, somewhere where the MPs & civil servants will be forced to use XC ;) All a location at Derby or Sheffield will mean EMR getting wired in full, or additional trains between Sheffield & Doncaster

First train which (EMR priced) super off-peak tickets from London are valid on (1D26), hopefully they have enough 810s to cover all the diagrams

A productive morning in Manchester:)

Probably an arm and a leg

Southampton Airport also gets 159s calling, not diagrammed but can pop up whenever Southampton FC are at home The issue with Southern is the use of 387s with only some of the London area stations being solely 377. I would have suggested C2C but they have the handful of 720s.

The sort who either ignore you ("what are you going to do about it?") or will remove their feet as requested only for their feet to magically reappear on the seat within a minute after the guard disappears.
