Generally the self check-in machines work fine. The key point is don't put the key card against the machine until AFTER you have pressed 'activate key'. Putting the key card up too soon makes a right mess of things and the only solution is to find a member of staff who has to 'do their stuff' at...

Package posted RM48 last Tuesday 6th, supposedly arriving Thursday 8th between 0950 and 1350. Still waiting. It arrived at North West Midlands Mail Centre (Wolverhampton) at 1500 on Thursday 8th. It then arrived at North West Midlands Mail Centre (Wolverhampton) at 1700 on Saturday 10th. Must...

Can't read the story because of the consent blocker but the quote supplied reads like regurgitation of the previous 'news' in February 2026. 1791713507 Regarding Magor & Undy and Cardiff Parkway Stations, the unredacted news appears to be that their delivery will be accelerated. Buried in a...

There is no way that the platform can be 'trimmed back' to accommodate the second track, should it be re-instated. It sits fairly and squarely on the formation where the second track would go. Drawing 084801-GENERAL_ARRANGEMENT_PLAN-2189036 refers. To re-instate a second track would require...

AI says whatever! Does it have reliable sources? The officer report here into the planning application (granted) states: The drawings accompanying the planning application show a bolted together system under the brand 'Systra', drawing here. If the links don't work, the planning reference to...

I can't speak for @Rail Ranger but a link to a report on the consultation process, here: Stockport Metropilitan Borough Council states:

An update on the Travelodge sex assault situation. Extracts only from the full BBC News article.

I'm a cynic and have a scheming mind. 1) Make a lot of noise about a station, so that it gets funded and built regardless of technical practicalities such as capacity. 2) Introduce a full service which then leads to a meltdown in performance. 3) Convene a taskforce and conduct a study into said...

Perhaps they could 'do a Butetown' and build the station but serve it just once per week? Other examples of such limited service exist closer to Cheadle but those are historic remnants rather than new provision. Yes, I do remember the Stalybridge shuttle of old! The reference to Butetown is the...

A link: Source: aboutmanchester.co.uk Not from the Manchester Evening News but from a site actually readable! (that is without a zillion pop-ups, adverts, auto-play videos and sign-up requests).

Personally, I would prefer to be able to get across the small concourse to read the destination board without the marketing hyper-ventilators with their stalls and loud pa blocking the way. But hey, I'm just a paying punter.

Balgray opened for passengers today. Official opening yesterday. It is suggested that Butetown will open on Sunday 13 December (timetable change date) and be served by one train per week until further notice. Discussion taking place in the thread linked from #1.

Well, there's a sticker in many a hotel I've stayed in warning me that the hot water may be hot! Unfortunately that's the way the world is going. However I feel there are enough warnings and the site is for, at least reasonably, knowledgeable users. My only gripe thus far has been the need to...

I had a similar issue travelling south to London from Hitchin on the ECML. In that case the fare was £1 higher to travel to Blackfriars (on a route Thameslink) rather than to London Terminals (for St Pancras). For the very occasional user this is not helpful! Thankfully I spotted the issue...

The yellow line furthest from the edge is where I would expect it to be for the clear despatch zone. The hatching and the second yellow line I have not come across. It does, perhaps, make it clearer that you should not be in that area, but in that case it should go all the way to the edge of the...

A couple of online feedback comments suggest undesirables hanging around outside, also people being loud in the courtyard late into the night. Plus the usual comments about slow service or not enough staff to attend to something. I didn't leave the hotel between arrival early evening (no...

The machine receptionist still has the three basic options. Has anyone stayed at the Preston Central PI? Quite close to the station and with a mysterious (in use) sixth floor. Lift buttons go to 6, the plastic plate listing room numbers goes to 5xx, which is the 'Premier Plus' floor. Also one...

Cottam Parkway Thanks to @pr1 news that funding for Cottam Parkway has now been agreed. Overall cost now a mere £56.6m, with the Government providing £28.4m and Lancashire Combined County Authority £28.2m. First trains potentially December 2030 (previously given as '2030 at the latest'). Link...

Do Cardiff Bus use the same software? A journey I looked up a couple of weeks ago only gave the day ticket price and not the single fare. A return trip would be capped at that day ticket price but some people do make single journeys.
