So what would you call Stourbridge Junction then as Stourbridge is served by Stourbridge Town
Stourbidge Over-sized Car Park.

No station should be named __________ Junction. Stations should be named after the localities they are in, not the nearest bit of railway infrastructure.
So, if you've got a disability, time isn't allowed to be a factor? Commuting into London, say, or travelling inter-city? And you're not allowed any form of spontaneity?
And if the drag created by having opening windows is significantly more expensive (in extra fuel costs) than modern air-conditioning?
And ticket inspection is hardly the sum total of a guard's duties, now, is it?
Risk assessments should be holistic and consider the likelihood of harm occurring to passengers discouraged from the railway who go by road. And assume that they will ride high powered sport motorcycles.
No debates allowed, just a straightforward statement of what you think about something railway-related, that is probably not widely shared by others.
Nationwide Oyster cards.
the senior management of GTR should be tied to the tracks and run over by their own trains... though of course they might starve to death before a train actually turns up!
, if your proposal (for any speculative service on one of the many threads for "My Suggestion To...") is only bi-hourly
That's a pretty good idea.Three levels of fare only - "red", "amber", "green". Determined by train not by time of departure. Trains are marked in the timetable as R,A or G.
Red ticket - any train
Amber ticket - amber or green trains only
Green ticket - green train only
This site should be a forum for discussion of railways, including potential reopenings, no matter how unlikely in the present climate, not an opportunity for clever dicks who know no more about the railways than other non-staff contributors to try to make themselves feel better about themselves by belittling other people

What do you expect people to do when an idea of such staggering impracticality is put in front of them? Say "brilliant idea, I don't understand why VTWC aren't running a London to Glasgow pullman service with 442s being hauled by class 33s bought from preserved railways already" (that was a serious suggestion BTW) or point out the blindingly obvious flaws on such a scheme. Quite frankly if I wanted to read pie in the sky wibble or get into the realms of fantasy, I'd hang around on Star Wars fan fiction sites. As it is, I'd rather discuss sensible ideas and am quite happy to be told when I lack knowledge or understanding of a particular issue by those who are genuinely knowledgeable, I'm not so thin-skinned that I can't take a telling.
