The issue appears to be that the Railbus portion of the fare is not senior railcard discountable, hence doesn't display any fares. The Railbus fare seems to have most value as a return within a month period return rather than a day ticket with the supplement being £5.40 single or £10.80 return...

Lincoln and Hykeham following a series of improvements to services - two trains an hour on the Nottingham line all day and direct services to London. Hykeham has also had an increase in local businesses with a lot of rail commuters.

The lack of excessive heat is naturally helping a lot with things like the engines and air conditioning. Other issues still occurring.

It can, but maybe not at even half hourly spacings with some waits being needed.

About 140 seats on a 2 car 158 and 180 on a 3 car 170. The 3 car 170 has far more luggage space than a 158 though.

Could be - but it's a huge number for a 15 year old to reach!

More 3 car 170s have been deployed on Liverpool - Norwich services with the 158s swapped to Skegness.

A fine of over 3 grand would be worthy of the news, something will be amiss there. It's about 10 times the usual amount imposed by a court for the offence and it won't have gone that far yet.

Newquay is a shortish branch conveniently interfacing with the mainline. Skegness is a long way away from it's nearest mainline at Grantham and I can't imagine LNER would be remotely interesting in trundling a train at 50 and 60 mph tops all the way to Skegness whilst the regular summer...

Sadly it's not really a good income though. The numbers are an error on the spreadsheet, it's a near 5 hour round trip for the units so is resource heavy, the fares under the present system don't really make much money for the business unit providing the service. The through fares are fairly...

Ultimately if you get off on posting videos of dangerous driving etc there's a fair argument that you're beyond saving anyway. In my town there is a big problem with balaclava'd teenagers stealing motorbikes, riding them dangerously around town and filming the whole process for social media...

Depends what you call home. Salisbury has been the shortest time period it's been allocated to a depot. I think it spent about 15 years allocated to Heaton, 9 years at Salisbury and 11 years at Eastcroft.

That finished with the end of the South West Trains franchise in 2017 or so, the lease formally transferred to EMT then.

It's been proposed internally as an option for the unit for a while. Was confirmed as likely to be departing the other week. Annoying really, actually having some luggage space is quite helpful.

It is.

Rather confusing as to how it can happen really. It appears they were evacuated from their control office yesterday afternoon which has lost power and they can't access the majority of their IT to even send out disruption messages or updates. Seems the only trains they are running are the...

Some of them are booked to call depending on pathing requirements, but not all.

Isn't it the National Rail Awards?

There is a feral population who think they run the show in this country who have no respect for the rule of law or societal norms. They need nipping in the bud by any means necessary.

The staffing issue has had a resolution for ages. It's just not been used.
