This is no longer true so you do see them at all Roadchef services. It was true though.

Only on the Old Town side. And 8/9 are the wrong side of 10. It's a mess.

Once that's in the system I see no reason they should not. In the seats it's just a train, though a reservation would be needed.

Where a layman would expect to find 19 is not however "the other end of 2". What you could do is make those 1/2 and 3/4 though I suppose.

The absence of a scan of course tells you nothing, unless it has been 100% confirmed that the gatelines were closed at both ends of the journey AND no passenger was let through without scanning. In the event of a block looking for short faring this can generally be verified, but not in the...

It really doesn't matter. New St's A and B ends are mostly used separately other than double Voyagers and Euston trains - do you consider that confusing in and of itself (rather than the convoluted situation upstairs at the A end)? I would say it's not - it's certainly not more confusing than...

"Lots of stations have inconsistencies" != "if we renumbered a station it should have inconsistencies post renumbering". It wouldn't surprise me given where it is if 2C was also a parcels bay later brought into passenger use like the Preston "C" platforms, but I don't know. You probably didn't...

Though there's no reason upspecced 5 car 197s couldn't have been ordered, or even a 397 like DMU. Though the TPE procurement gives you an idea of the future of that sort of stock, as low floor means the end of end doors - they are not possible with level boarding. Single leaf doors at thirds...

Passengers however don't care about operational differences. They care about where their train is, and the confusion caused by having two systems is therefore inappropriate. A and B is better, as unlike two numbers it allows you to deal with one train occuping both bits by not showing a suffix...

I'm sure where that is where it comes from, yes, but it's still nonsensical and shows a situation of caring about the pennies more than customer service, as is usual for Avanti gatelines. Most people won't get on the wrong train on an Advance. Of those who do, many will get whacked with a new...

They do this nonsense at International too, which has no seating "landside" without going back to the airport. Absolutely nonsensical. I think an hour is more common elsewhere?

An interesting question there is who would look out for likely cancelled trains (e.g. one where the inbound was cancelled but it hasn't propagated yet), buy a cheap ticket and then use it under this scheme to make a wholly different journey in that case. This might be surprisingly high given...

:) In all seriousness the ones without any facility don't mention restaurants on the page (but don't say there isn't one, it's just missing), the ones with something say there is one but not what it is. I know this as I was booked to stay in Gargrave and got an email about it, and looked at...

Some PIs are keeping the former restaurant in use temporarily for breakfast/dinner, some e.g. Gargrave aren't offering meals at all, and some already have the new restaurant space. I suspect Barrow is likely to be the former, but I don't know for certain. Judging from the website saying it...

That's not the New St entrance. That's the Smallbrook Queensway entrance which would have to have been closed if the A end was to be continuous, unless it was only possible to access it from the A end or by passing through two sets of gates. This would have been far worse than what is there...

Contactless is already enabled to Aylesbury Vale Parkway and has been for months. The fares were Ovalised when it was. Milton Keynes Central is probably one of the more needed ones but will require fare rationalisation to remove the TOC specific fares, which will result in increases, so that...

To be honest they were right to do that. The entrance/exit on that side is by far the busiest and always was. Forcing people off to the side exits would have been a bad idea, and the discontinuous A end is an OK price to pay for not having to close the most popular entrance/exit. I've often...

I don't know if it's changed but this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/are-tickets-to-new-mills-available-to-either-station.232119/ ...seems to suggest that a ticket from Chinley is acceptable both ways due to a walking interchange existing between the two New Mills stations in the...

It's such a short walk that unless tipping down I'm not sure how much I'd bother about doing that. But yes, good point.

Your choice but not necessary. Judging on the number of *overpayments* I've had I don't think anything of the sort is true.
