    MG11 rather than Penalty Fare

    Complain to the DFT maybe about the closed ticket office? EMT have been pulled about this before, https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/210780/emt-breach-notice-17-june-2013.pdf

    EMT St Pancras to Grantham today

    Standing room only on the odd HSTs arriving from Grantham at Nottingham today. Wondered how Sheffield services to London were.

    Megabus New Services?

    Don't about new, but there is a Megabus service from Leeds to Nottingham at 2am in the morning. However there is not one the other way!

    RMT to ballot EMT staff over pay and arrangements.

    They will be part of the Nottingham security team. No security at Nottingham durring the blockade, so they have been placed at other stations.

    Taxpayers stump up £110,000,000 to keep EMT in profit

    The problem with EMT is the cash cow which is megabus. Instead of passengers buying off peak or advance tickets, millions in revenue is lost every year and syphoned in to stagecoaches coffers! Over the network over the year what the government has subsidise has gone to Souters back pocket.

    Scarborough to Gillingham (Kent)

    Megabus plus from York sounds good, but the journeys are sometimes too early to connect by train.

    First win Intercity West Coast franchise

    First group share price is down by almost 8%. Maybe even the shareholders don't think the sums add up? Stagecoach shares are up slightly.

    Train route more than twice as quick by road

    Are we allowed to say Scarborough to Whitby? :) About an hour on a bus, 40 mins by car and today by rail 4 hours on average. Before they ripped the line up during the 60's I'm sure the journey was still over 1.5 hours.
