Thank you for the speedy reply. How could I have figured this out by myself? The restriction code I linked to does not mention intermediate stations, or a 1000 Euston restriction on the return journey.

Hi all, I need to travel from Bedford to Birmingham New Street. I am planning to buy the Off Peak Return priced at £25.40. I have looked up the restriction code here on brfares.com. From this, it appears that (Mon-Fri): on the outbound journey, I should be able to use any train departing 0845...

I've made it from a train in KX P0 to a train in STP LL platform A in about 4 mins. It can't be more than a kilometre. I definitely agree that it is risky, but no risk, no reward!

This absolutely depends on what you are trying to do. If you're just looking up train times on National Rail then yes, it's probably paranoid. If you want to log in to Facebook, Gmail etc then no VPN required as these websites already use SSL/TLS/HTTPS. If you are worried about others...

Regarding the 24hr unique mileage challenge as posed by EM2 and evotista: I think the key is to maintain a decent average speed from midnight to 6am. Probably using the WCML sleeper is the best way to do this, even if it means no high speed WCML during the day. 2153 MAR - STP 2321 (91 mi 20...

Worse, the £300m would be a one-off, whereas the £10bn could be raised each year.

A really silly question: Why do TOC's and NR use different timetabling software systems? Wouldn't that make it more difficult to communicate?

Presumably not intentional, yorkie? :lol:

I could sympathise with someone who rejected one of the two premises. But to accept the premises yet reject the conclusion is just wrong.

Do you agree that the difference of two even numbers is even? Do you agree that 2 is even? Then you must agree that 2-2=0 is even.

I was once advised that if you enjoy your job 20% of the time, you're doing pretty well. I fully agree with the advice above to set yourself a goal of say one year after which you will make a decision. By doing this you will remove any career choice worry from the day-to-day work, enabling...

I thought this was ridiculous. Why should the group be given priority access to the train before other travellers? They hadn't paid for it. They hadn't even arranged the situation in advance with the train company. I'd have been pretty cross if I didn't get a seat because of this.

Option number 3) Study mathematics and go into transport consultancy e.g. Steer Davies Gleave You'll be paid a lot more!

Surely a late arrival at Preston is a real cost to everybody going to Preston?

What makes you think it isn't being treated as a taxable benefit?

Thanks everybody, I think we might as well take the time to swap tickets around to keep the ticket groups together.

Hi everyone, A group of us will be travelling from Oxford to Great Malvern and back this Saturday. I can see an Off Peak Day Return for £18.80 each, but I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm the following. Is break of journey allowed on this ticket? We would like to break at Worcester...

Employee benefits are a good thing because the employee tends to value them much more highly than the cost to the employer. Staff travel is close to costless to the employer - not because of the fallacious argument that 'the trains are running anyway', but because most employees don't make...

Nobody has explicitly pointed this out yet: Keeping the passengers on the train presented no risks to safety. Evacuating the passengers would have presented some risk to safety. Safety comes first on the railway. Whilst keeping the passengers on the train remains safe, how can anyone...

The difference is that you can get cheap loans for university. So it's not as expensive as it seems.
