    DfT "going back on new carriages promise"

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/8129104.stm Suddenly, all the hope and optimism that Northern areas were getting a boost looks thinly veiled. It can hardly be described as surprising. What these idiots can't understand is that people WANT to use the trains but CAN'T...

    Harrogate and Skipton join the Metro Zone

    http://www.wymetro.com/News/MetroZones6and7.htm Thoughts and opinions welcome! Personally, I am not entirely sure how much it helps commuters from these locations as the prices still seem orbital to me. It should also be noted that Metro Cards to zone 6 and 7 will not include bus travel -...

    XC - better off now?

    OK - here's the deal. Cross Country provide services the whole length and breadth of this Great Nation. However, debate rages as to whether the introduction of Voyagers onto the route has been a success or failure. There are more overall services, but less point to point dependability. Are...

    Favourite Station

    Ok, the only rule here is that it has to be a current station in use on the public network NOT on a preserved line etc. It can be for any reason whatsoever! Cleanliness, history, quality of staff(!), anything! I will start the ball rolling with Leeds. The perfect example of how a modern...
