Is anyone familiar with this ticket, and more to the point does anyone know the exact area it covers please? I understand from the website that it costs £14 for an adult, but have found nothing on there that confirms its area of validity - and elsewhere on the Internet, I have found conflicting...

Wimbo is back, and it's started with Federer winning in straight sets, Murray looking comfortable (if not great)... ...and Nadal on the brink of a straight sets defeat! Surely he can't "beat" his hopeless performance from 2012, when he lost in five in Round 2? --- old post above --- --- new...

A friend of mine has contacted me asking for some advice. He says he went to collect a pre-paid ticket, only to be told by the sales people it had already been collected. He didn't say whether he tried to collect it from a TVM specifically, as collection usually requires, but assuming this is...

Does anyone on here know much about the legal side of invoices at all please? Basically, back in February I did some work for a major company who shall remain nameless (but can probably be guessed, especially by those who have access to my Facebook account :roll:), and it took them TEN WEEKS...

I've been trying to work out how various towns and cities across the country seem to fare in terms of how much platform capacity they have for a settlement of their size. This should be a good indicator of how well off - or otherwise - some of these places are, because a bigger station suggests...

It looks like no-one has written anything yet, so I guess I will... ...but as people who were present are aware, I am somewhat disillusioned at present so this won't exactly be my most upbeat report ever. And sorry in advance for the length of this message. I arrived at Thorpe Bay ready...

I have never understood the situation at Coombe Junction Halt and am wondering if someone could explain this. At present, trains arrive at the junction from either Looe or Liskeard, and then stop to reverse across the junction in the opposite direction. As a temporary measure, this sounds OK...

Stoke-on-Trent City Council are selling off a series of derelict homes in the City - for just £1 each. There are a few other catches too... • You must have lived in Stoke for at least three years • You and your partner must have a combined income of between £18K and £25K (up to £30K if...

This is a somewhat light-hearted thread intended for us all to have a laugh at some of the "excuses" we have heard over the years. Essentially, if you've been given a reason for a transport service not operating which seems a bit odd, post it here! Bonus points for originality. Please state...

As should be pretty obvious from the title, this thread is a request for help. It has nothing to do with railways, hence it being in this section of the forum, but does relate to something that came up towards the end of last year. That last clause probably gives it away: It's time for this...

Pretty simple, really. Just like this thread, only specific to buses! (Buses must be operating a normal PSV route to count, but merely passing through without getting off is OK as are "local" routes usually operated by coaches e.g. Service X5.) I will restrict my answers to England's 50...

On this evidence, the answer is that they are equally bad... BBC: Sat-nav takes Yorkshire lorry along Cambridgeshire busway Even if it has exceeded expectations, the busway still seems like a waste of space. But for a sat nav to have sent a lorry down there is just ridiculous! I'm sure it...

Imagine the following scenario... Two buses run along the same road for a substantial stretch of their respective journeys. In this specific case however, the two buses have differing extensions at one end; one takes 15 minutes and the other takes 40 minutes, with both having layovers of...

I am trying to work out exactly how expensive it would be to build a Metro system with the following statistics. If anyone on here is able to provide even a small amount of data or assistance I would be very grateful. Note that the system would be designed for tram use to simplify construction...

Back in May 2011 I asked everyone to name some notable places they had never been to. Some rather interesting replies appeared, and the thread appeared to spark some interest in people going off in all directions in an effort to apparently "clear" them. The thread in question can be viewed...

The new season of the world's fastest and most advanced sport is about to get underway in Melbourne, with First Practice just minutes away. The headlines in the British media have been dominated by Hamilton's move to Mercedes, who as a team have made a stunning amount of progress during...

By the end of this decade, services between London and Bristol will become AC-powered and Filton Bank will be four-tracked. Meanwhile, in roughly the same period, local services in and around the city are expected to become more prominent. Half-hourly stopping services are planned for the...

Just goes to show what a little imagination can do :p Dennis Dart I have to say, I love this idea, and only wish I had found it long before now. Buses are common sights in towns and cities across the country and for a major operator such as Plymouth Citybus to have taken the initiative in...

An unimaginative idea from First Essex to entice potential customers over the forthcoming Valentine's (shudder) period... Only in Essex :roll: The most amusing thing about this promotion in my opinion is the last sentence. The connotations such a statement could potentially have! Still...

Unless the rules have changed recently, ENCTS and WNCTS (is that the name for the Welsh one?) passes can be used on the cross-border route between Bristol and Newport, although journeys entirely in the opposite country are not permitted. I was under the impression that this was the only such...
