The very short turnaround time at Peterborough won't help with any late running.

o_O Having worked in that role I'm appalled that any guard would use AI for ticket restriction information !! A passenger once showed me an AI google page that stated contactless and Oyster were valid to Colchester .... As regards ticket selling on GA branch lines it has long been the custom to...

Bit cheeky to charge for use when GWR showers at Paddington, Truro & Penzance are free of charge for Sleeper users ?

As we are now rapidly nearing the end of August what is the general feeling about how services have coped with peak summer loadings this year with the reduced frequencies ?

HST 1st class was just about bearable but would insist on hotel instead of all nighter IET everytime.

Stagecoach are probably right - who wants to sit in a slow baking hot bus when a nice airconditioned car is a much nicer option when outside temperatures are reaching 35°

Both of those starting from Penzance should be formed of 9 car sets

I would most certainly get the tickets now as you are catching services starting from Penzance on the return trip which can be busy. If you are unable to travel you can still get a refund up to the day before outward journey. The forum ticket site is good for chosing a specific seat when reserving.

The Norwich airport Brewers Fayre/PI does very well with non-resident diners (partially due to adjacent large suburb with just 1 pub with a debatable food offering) Many of the staff have been there 10 years plus which makes a big difference.

But can you get "free" 1st class tickets on it ? :lol: but seriously have Silver rail not learned anything from the GWR shambles ??

Royal buses are going to run St Ives (including camp sites) to Lands End on Tuesdays in August. They are also running Thursday evenings to Lands End for firework displays. You can book tickets in advance (£10) & facebook comment from operator suggests they will all operate fully booked. GA...

Somewhat surprised ASLEF aren't seen to be taking any action/comment on safety issues ??

Add to list the August strikes due to safety concerns ?

So we have an open top bus route in Clacton but can't manage to keep one in Cornwall !?!

Hopefully the Stratford fire costs will concentrate some minds ?

Some time travel also appears to have taken place :lol:

Bet the buses to St Ives are interesting today as no trains due to car on the track at Carbis Bay !

The amount of people on any random train to Chelmsford using contactless recently can be counted on 1 hand !! Not very popular is it ???

Certainly needed as West have had driver retention issue for a while now. Update: It includes Sundays inside the week !

They still have a strong pay on the train culture on East Anglia branch lines (even if the company hates it - stuck TVM's on every minor station before e-tickets took off)
