Are current staff of other religious persuasions exempt from working Fridays or Saturdays? (Genuine question)

In fact, doing so probably undermines some of the real (but almost equally unbelievable) stuff.

Presumably not how it’s being done for what is likely to remain the largest of such flows (Eurostar)!

Population alone doesn’t necessarily justify expenditure. Population distribution is much more significant.

But what “UIC system” do you mean. As far as I am aware, only Austria had 4digit class number with three digit serial number, which is what is effectively needed to fit the long UIC system.

And again today (at least I guess it’s the same bridge). Surely it’s time to get cameras up (preferably as part of some kind of preventative measure - but at least so the culprits can be identified and made to cough up).

Not to mention the matter of things you’re having to transport. As for terrain - not all hills have the “gaining back” element. Nearly 40 years ago, having previously cycled everywhere, I moved to Bath. One bike ride into town was enough to convince me “never again”. The inbound journey was just...

I should imagine that there is a general realisation that the subset: 1) Holder of disabled pass, 2) which doesn’t scan at second or third attempt, who neither 3) has an apparent disability nor 4) resembles the photograph at a quick glance and 5),whose behaviour attracts suspicion that there’s...

Given the fact that the service has currently only been up and running for about 3 weeks, there is hardly an established end-to-end time or an established end-to-end flow to get negatively impacted. (OK - so it will slowly be becoming established….)

Back to their (German) roots then.

Somehow the news about events such as Hillsborough and Tiananmen Square seemed all the more dramatic by only just being audible on R4LW from halfway down West Germany. As you say reception was better at night and also when it was damp (the weather, that is, not the radio).

Surely even now the format and meaning of the “actual locomotive number” (positions 5-11) of the UIC number is determined by the national authority, not the UIC.

Had forgotten that they were TPE operated and definitely not even arguably “inter city”

To borrow from the advert, the campaign obviously hasn’t been getting its Weetabix!

Except on its southern borders, it’s just as much a “local services only” ticket as a TIC specific one. It’s unfortunate that in this country we have several routes that are only served by inter-city style operators (and I’m definitely including TPE in that although I agree that they represent a...

I suspect the answer is “not many”. In some cases of course, the bus was a pre-existing alternative rather than a specific rail replacement.

Their role as their constituents’ voice in the corridors of power is, tbh, one of their most important - and it’s also how they can keep a finger on the pulse of society.

In which case it is stupid that a ticket which is more customer friendly on CCST cannot be if requested. Before people jump in - any ticket which is potentially going to have to be shown multiple times over a period of days is better in a small size that doesn’t have to be folded. If it’s multi...

Unless that’s an unfortunate slip - just goes to show how much they knew!

Seems odd, since they are literally sitting on top of the main reason CCST is still needed (other than the fact that in some circumstances it is much more customer-friendly).
