I am travelling Nottingham to London on a weekend day trip. I belive the any permitted allows travel via Grantham into Kings Cross and I can generate standard class any permitted itineraries that way. (Obviously EMR only fares aren't valid by that route) However when I try for first class I...

Just before franchising collapsed there were proposals for service improvements on the Heart of Wessex line but I can't now find the details and I wonder if anyone else remembers them. What I think I remember is that a major employer in Yeovil ( who was specifically not named) paid for a rail...

There is an interesting (long) article in the stage about the state of regional theatres but the reason I am mentioning it here is the conclusions specifically mention the impact of rail. I think this is an interesting example of the wider economic and social impacts of rail. I suspect...

Quick question do you have to touch in and out with a season ticket on a smart card? My reason for the query I commute using a Nottingham Robin hood multi modal season ticket combined with an ordinary rail season ticket from the boundary station. I used to commute to an unbarried station...

I have long thought that a 2-3 car bi-mode that could fit the UK loading gauge would be an incredibly useful. Having a sprinter replacement that can both run on all the branch lines around the country that are not going to be electrified any time soon, but that can also run with electric speed...

I travelled today (Sunday) on two full and standing cross country voyagers. I believe my experience is not that unusual. I was therefore wondering whatever happened to project Thor/eVoyager? I understand it turned out to be harder than first thought but surely that is not a reason to give...

A quick question. Am I right in thinking that if the timetable doesn't show first class being available and the service is run with stock with a first class it is automatically declassified? What about if the service isn't in the timetable? I ask because I might go to the Lincoln...
