    North Wales man who climbed on train coupling fined

    Interesting that he was done for a Byelaw for such an offence though, as well as threatening behaviour (according to the article). Must be 10(2) or some sort of Byelaw 12 offence: I suspect the latter, especially if a load of threatening abuse was then directed to the station staff as a...

    most expensive Anytime Single

    Walton (Mersey) to Orrell Park is £1.50 and is only 30 chains away, (0.4miles) timed at 1 minute. Apparently you can see one station from the other :? It is most likely going to be a Merseyrail Electrics ticketing combo that will be most expensive per minute. Wallasey Village to Wallasey Grove...

    Merseyrail James St Fatality - Guard Questioned!!!???

    I think the doors being closed is sufficient enough for any passenger with a bit of common sense to stand back. Doors closing = move away! There's already an audible hustle alarm! 2 is just one of many different bell codes, some of which the public definitely shouldn't hear. 9 is for police...

    ScotRail at Ayr & joining the Highland Sleeper at Edinburgh

    People don't always sit in seats they reserve, so if people reserve sleeper seats, and don't turn up, you won't be able to tell until the train actually arrives. The staff computer will just show no availability. If there has been a no-show, you get lucky! Technically, the Fort William train...

    SailRail tomorrow

    Couldn't tell you sorry. I don't see why they would stop railcards being able to get a discount. Not my field of "expertise". I think the fares for 2012 must be being announced soon(ish) though? Anyway, I guess this is perhaps a good thing, it is "simple" now, and removes ticket type names which...

    SailRail tomorrow

    The notice I've seen (@ East Coast station) says the ticket type will be changing to "Advance" with mandatory train & ferry to better manage demand on the train part of the journey due to certain trains being absolutely packed. Conductors may have had a detailed brief ATOC don't deal with the...

    Liverpool lime street - birmingham international.

    They can (quite rare though) be 57 hauled and go via Liverpool>Huyton>Manchester>Stafford avoiding Crewe. Can't remember when that last happened though, but surely within the last year?

    Grand Central Buy On Board

    I don't need a password to access it though, it just takes me straight to the homepage? No need to log in. Don't see why you can't get it too...?

    When your rail rover is affected by engineering....

    I don't think it will be valid. If a Rail Replacement bus is operating you'll have to get that.

    Refused Entry Into Cambridge Station

    Why not have to buy a ticket? After all the purpose of a rail station is for people to travel. Ports - Can I get into a port without a ticket or security permit? No. I have to find a viewing place elsewhere to look at boats. Airports - Can I get into an airport without a ticket or permit? Yes...

    How would you solve LM's problems?

    Just to add a bit of stats into this: Just randomly checking today for Rugeley TV from first to 3pm, a couple of trains went 1 min early a/c to TRUST: 2S59 2A02 2K06 2H36 2H42 2H54 2H60 Could be a fast station clock that the dispatcher/guard is using

    International Train Driver

    You seem to be the one that is rude! My issue is that "international" driver or not does not automatically qualify a Eurostar driver to be able to drive on domestic UK roads. They are obviously trained to whatever European standard allowing them to qualify for HS1. Drivers need to be fully...
