    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    WCRC's statement as reported here absolutely fits the bill of playing the victim as far as I can see. Clearly written to present the revocation of the exemption as something that has just come out of nowhere, rather than being a result of their own failure to carry out the agreed actions that...

    Rail services to be included as part of Bee Network

    That's not speculation, it's scaremongering.

    Is a grand coalition the way forward now?

    How long to hold it against them is certainly a valid question, but "For as long as they're led by somebody who was a cabinet minister in that disastrous government" seems like a valid answer.

    Rail services to be included as part of Bee Network

    Is there any reason to think that people are any more likely to use them under a tap-in/tap-out system than they currently are using them for local journeys?

    You are Julien MacDonald and I claim my five pounds.

    Conservative North Yorkshire mayoral candidate leaflet - dubious rail pledges?

    While a regional mayor is obviously in a position to speak out and campaign for rail changes they'd like to see, are they actually in any real position to influence them?

    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    The same, but without any hint of jest. The idea anyone could be even vaguely familiar with how boarding works at Euston and think "Ah, it must be the passengers turning up at the last minute." is comical.

    Speeding up slow journeys between London boroughs

    Marginally. Wandsworth Town to Carshalton Beeches is £3.50 off-peak assuming you're using PAYG.

    Travelling from DLR via Bank onto Northern line to Euston

    It's 100% a tourist attraction. It's quicker to travel between the two ends of it by Jubilee Line and DLR. No argument with that.

    Travelling from DLR via Bank onto Northern line to Euston

    Did anyone else wonder why a TOC was appearing at an arena?

    Jersey and Guernsey rail tunnel

    Is there any evidence that people living in Normandy would want to go and work in the Channel Islands with a 1 hour commute if this thing did get built? Or is it just Build It And They Will Come?

    Manchester Metrolink

    Thank you! it seems ridiculous that it takes an FOI request for them to publish a timetable mind you.

    Manchester Metrolink

    Is there an actual timetable for the Metrolink published anywhere? I can only find first and last tram times and service intervals on the bus stop? Or if not a timetable, a way of finding out travel times between stops? I ask because I went to a show in town this week and got on the tram from...

    RMT Industrial Action Update to members

    He'd probably have the trade union leaders murdered. What's your point?

    Why are things so expensive?

    It involved boring tunnels through an already heavily tunnelled area with marginal clearances between the new tunnels and existing infrastructure. It would be astonishing if it hadn't been at the high end of cost per km.
