The ferry actually goes from Birkenhead. So you'd need to get across the Mersey somehow.

Copenhagen T2 still use the old scanners.

But it's "Simple"!

Which would no doubt lead to the fleet being pulled for urgent checks, as happened with the 175s, as well as the IETs and 332s with cracks in the not too distant past. There's plenty of precedent that action will be taken should they suddenly be deemed an unacceptable risk.

The Wetherspoon pub counts as "Station facilities". No further comment.

It feels like this is the kind of thing that, if done well, can be done extremely well indeed. As much as I'm against outsourcing, for very limited applications such as this, if there are genuinely existing outsourced staff who may be better suited to the kind of role they do, then why not use...

Most TOCs instruct you to claim that way if you don't travel due to strikes

Indeed. No one is legally obliged to disclose which, if any, Union they are a member of. I'd be surprised for the driver grade if the TOCs don't assume every single driver is a member of ASLEF and plan accordingly.

True, but when there's advances available from Euston for less than the walk up from Rugby, it does grate a bit. Fully agreed that the walk ups are reasonable value though, it's just annoying that we have to buy them when there are so few direct trains (with the exception of Manchester...

They don't seem to offer any advances from the Trent Valley to the Cheshire/Greater Manchester area at all anymore. I've had advances on the last London-Preston from Rugby, Lichfield and Stafford to get back to Warrington. They just don't exist now, or I can never find them if they do.

Fair. Making the railway more appealing to minority applicants is absolutely a good thing.

Exactly. Surely that's blatant racism/sexism/homophobia against the straight white male! The best candidate for the job at interview, safety critical medical and assessment is the best candidate for the job. Regardless of what they identify as or who they sleep with. If person A is a...

In fairness, I was in conversation with Avanti's social media last year when I was catching the ferry back from Dublin to Holyhead then the train home. The ferry was late and my train was in real jeopardy. The person I was dealing with couldn't have been more helpful. Even went as far as...

So maybe £600 isn't enough of an incentive? Though sometimes it's just simply not about money. Time off is time off. I know for me, I'm not a driver or even employed by a TOC, but my time off is my time off. End of. Of course I don't have a family to support, so I have minimal need for the...

I've certainly been on XC services in the past where the TM has announced that Birmingham Stations tickets are NOT valid to Birmingham International. Admittedly the first time I heard it, there was an event on at the NEC, but I've heard it since also.

Thanks, saves me a wasted couple of hours pottering around the Great Western.

I usually bring some Scottish notes back with me, pretty much the only time I use cash. I like a couple to go to the local taxi drivers :D Who, to be fair, (Private Hire at least) are perfectly happy taking cash or card. They usually give them more of a look than English notes, but can't...

Can I repeat this request please all?

They could just standardise the lot and call it, I don't know, GTR? :D

Other PRM mods have been made though, even on the units with the bogs locked out.
