Just a gentle reminder that this thread is no the place to rake over the coals of various industrial relations grievances justified or not. Particularly grievances that might date back privatisation itself!

Sorry there's been a minor hitch and we've lost your thread title which had the route described, would you mind reposting it as a reply?

I think we might be starting to wander slightly off-topic here. The location of other Universities is not exactly relevant to the matter of services at Edge Hill! Thanks :)

Sure but the HST has more of an emotional attachment which drives up the price. Versus some random seats which don't look very comfy and we can't even work out what train they're from!

Just a gentle reminder that we need a rail based association and I don't think "they both end in 't'" really counts. We're still at Hillfoot so how about Shettleston which is also a station on the North Clyde Line served via Glasgow Queen Street.

The RAIB have now officially announced their investigation, they've confirmed a few basic details and their lines of inquiry: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/derailment-of-a-passenger-train-at-wickford

Sorry I've been slightly imprecise in my language. I meant that it seems like a lot of people get on at Stratford going east for example. Rather than a load of people getting off and then a load of new people getting on. Obviously people get off at Stratford but not hoards of them.

They remind me of Thameslink seats with the lack of armrests and no seat back tables but they're the wrong colour. Was there a Class 700 demonstrator?

At the moment you can use PAYG for journeys between St Pancras and Stratford International (£7.40 peak and £5.10 off-peak) whilst travelcards are not valid at all. Is it time to remove this anomaly and change the HS1 fares to be the same as as the regular Zone 1 to Zone 2 fare (£3.60 peak and...

I mean I think we get a bad rep and it's not as bad as it seems. But at the same time... Looks at the news...

Ah shame :frown:

Sorry yes, I should have clarified rather than leaving my thought half finished. I meant in ideological terms. It's actions are clearly straight from the USSR playbook (and the Russian Empire before that). That's what I find weird. People on the left acting like there is still an ideological...

Yep that's a fair summary of where I'm at as well!

Yeah I'm not going to revel in their deaths in the way that some have been doing so. But...

Yes, one suggests a darkened room afterwards to allow your blood pressure to recover. But this is why it's so complicated. What on earth do you do in the scenario in which you have multi-generational issues with clocking out of anything even beginning to resemble a social contract (justified or...

And there seem to be some on the left (though normally it's those that were a) alive and b) involved in political activity at the time) who still seem to associate Russia with the USSR. Putin's Russia is nothing like the USSR. It borrows some of the trappings to claim legitimacy and to play on...

I wish I could remember where I first came across that but that tallies with my own reading on the subject. Generally speaking people who commit crimes aren't really thinking about the length of the sentence they might get but whether they're going to get caught. Generally if someone thinks that...

I can't speak to that bit of Northern but certainly round my way you can use Seatfrog to swap to your AP to another service for £1.50 or £2.00. I've never seen it not be available but that might be different for a large city like Leeds. I use APs for my commute sometimes it's been handy on the...

There's a Go Fund Me running at the moment sponsored by the Cleveland Police Federation for the families of the two dead officers (funds to be shared equally) at the time of posting it's reached just over £500k in around twenty-four hours. If anyone would like to contribute...

The police can stop and question you at any time without suspicion but equally you don't have to stop and answer their questions unless they actually arrest you. They can stop and search you only if they have reasonable grounds to suspect you are carrying something illegal like drugs, weapons or...
