Mod Note: Posts #1 - #5 originally in this thread. Proceed of course. I was simply saying that you couldn't be sure if you would meet the criminal standard on that alone. I'm not sure an admission would be relevant either way, as it wouldn't be forthcoming.

Please see the below post from @Kilopylae to avoid further clutter in the other thread: My guess is the boundary could only be at a major station and quite a way outside of Greater London. It's an idea with lots of potential and lots of awkward implementation options. Obviously there would also...

Edited to add the blog post from the Member of the Senedd, Janet French-Saunders: https://www.janetfinchsaunders.org.uk/news/community-secure-historic-rename-local-railway-station Apparently there's going to be some local art work installed in the station.

https://media.northernrailway.co.uk/news/this-isnt-a-love-train-northern-reveals-reason-dating-apps-are-blocked-by-on-board-wifi A reminder from Northern that we are apparently not supposed to use dating apps on the train. Quite how there's benefit in showing off a wifi content filter policy...

For an immediate departure from Chester to Warrington Bank Quay LNER quotes £7.60 on the 1836. Every other service I can see such as Trainsplit and Trainline is offering the same thing at £5.90:

The attached PDF is the latest piece of bizarre output from this think tank. It's surprisingly awkward to navigate the document too because for some reason they use two columns, but the one with the main body of text switches sides throughout.

The ScotRail trainline website and app now offers the basic split ticket functionality. Attached is a screenshot showing a single journey for now from Helensburgh Central to Dundee with a split in Glasgow.

No doubt in news which seems obvious to everyone who isn't an airline spokesperson, executive or major investor. This was a secondary point in the case where BA Cityflyer appealed to the Supreme Court against the earlier decision that their passengers were entitled to compensation under as-was...

GC have submitted an application for rights to serve Seaham today. They say four services per day will have a call inserted. They also plan to increase calls at Peterborough. In addition they are looking for extra rights for early and late services between York and London Kings Cross which have...

This was posted at 0602 this morning: It makes very little sense to the average customer. A short notice change to the timetable isn't the reason for the change. And there is replacement transport provided for most of the South Fylde even though it says there is none (obviously elsewhere that's...

I think that this recent judgment from the Supreme Court may deserve its own thread for discussion. This appeal concerned the status of a gap in the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act (TULRCA) 1992 around the protection for those engaged in lawful industrial action. Ms Mercer...

Hello all I couldn't see this under discussion anywhere else. Please can someone point me towards it if so? The paper timetable leaflet for the TfW Maesteg - Cheltenham Spa group of services expired yesterday. I don't think there's any replacement online but if there is please can someone...

The title says it all really. Personally I'd be totally mortified if my customer toilets had something like this on the mirror: The words printed onto the mirror are "Are you looking at a fare dodger?" o_O o_O o_O o_O o_O https://twitter.com/chilternrailway/status/1765733081057468805...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/wheelchair-user-unable-to-board-azuma-in-reverse-configuration-at-kings-cross.257877/ It's genuinely bizarre to be fussy about simply being on camera while in a public place.

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/scotrail-hsts-4-years-in.239365 One of the most useful things Transport Scotland could do for capacity in summer would be agree a special deal with LNER that their services to Aberdeen and Inverness would run as booked during ASLEF...

ScotRail have cancelled the evening services between Dumfries and Carlisle today citing "industrial action at another operator". No replacement bus operation has been advertised, can anyone confirm if any road transport is being provided to customers with pre-booked tickets...

Quite a statistic from the recent reporting in the Yorkshire Post that 15% of Northern's Penalty Fares are issued to passengers who couldn't use a ticket vending machine due to a fault. Given Northern say that conductors and revenue protection staff are equipped with up-to-the-quarter-hour...

Mobico, the new name for the company which operates National Express coaches in the UK (and other transport interests) are reported to be in talks with one of their investors, the Cosmen family, to start train services between London and Paris. National Express owner plots Eurostar rival -...

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/jun/22/compensation-has-been-as-hellish-as-our-eurostar-trip I couldn't agree more with that statement personally. It's true both that the existing PRO are not at all adequate by comparison with the rules for air passengers, and also that, contemptibly...
