317501 reported as going to be taken to Booths this coming Tuesday. Sad this last survivor has not been able to cling on.

Spot on, a fact that too many people do not realise, or choose to ignore, just as TfL does. Should never have been allowed to have been as “TfLised” as it has been.

I would not expect a ticket office to suggest splits, or other ways to obtain a cheaper fare (such as making use of positive easements) but likewise do expect them to sell me what I ask for when I present my requests. If more than two elements I tend to present a "shopping list", for which they...

RTT (yes fully aware that its not always 100% accurate) suggests that 2F02 was the first to use the Up Slow (as normally booked) and cleared this area, arriving early at Surbiton, although it did then there sit there for twenty five minutes. 2L10 was then the first to use the Up Fast. Times...

Regardless of what we think of MerseyRail for what they do and don't enforce, good on them for pursuing this. If this was enforced more widely (and more cases were then made public) then it might help to make it even more anti-social than it is, and should reduce the occurrences. See it...

The Yutong is actually 1007, the wrong number has been applied

Sometimes, yes

One of the reasons that when travelling to a station I know is gated I often buy to the next station down the line, small price to avoid the inconvenience. So for Leeds, if approaching from the West I buy to Cross Gates. Often very little in it.

nor does it include all routes (such as the 9 to Ely and Littleport)

Disturbed by the loss of flexibility which has come about following the removal of longer distance (ie not "Day" returns on this route. With the return ticket, the outward leg was valid for two (OP) or five (Anytime) days, and the return within a month, so allowing break(s) of journey en-route...

Its 34827. A United Counties Dart from new

Be great to see more promotion of Rovers and Rangers, as they are excellent value and a useful tool for the industry to draw leisure traffic in away from other modes. Some TOCs have in the past produced useful leaflets describing their rangers (Northern's was more of a booklet once they had...

Excellent news! I always buy a travelcard when going up to London as its so straightforward and good value. I had started to pen a proposal for a NR only Day Ranger replacement but wont need to do that now either!

Great to see this has come to fruition, and if it sells well they will have proven their point. Railtours do not need to all be a rake of Mk1s with a 1960s diesel on the front. Disappointed by all of the Pacer bashing, if its not for you then dont go on it. Pacers are an important part of our...

This seems to be the main difference to previous proposals (Airtrack etc) for which the regular issue was those crossings, so a tunnel here would get round those, but removes Egham from the plan (cant have cake and eat it) Although the tunnel is only about a mile and a half, it will need to go...

From what I have read on here and other forums, it doesn't appear to be that much work involved in dividing a 150/1 to put another coach in the middle.

This will only get worse when the Mayor abolishes travelcards, as every passenger, will then need to look for the validators whereas at the moment those with paper travelcards (typically from outside of the TfL area and possibly not familiar with tapping in and out) presently need do nothing.

Think that decoupling it from the Cheltenham service could probably help, so that delays at each end are more contained and not imported to the other. Cheltenham <-> Swansea and Maesteg <-> Ebbw Vale may be a better combination

Lots of suggestions will come up here, some credible, some far less so. Fleet size and train length could make them attractive to the Welsh Marches, or some of the Inter7City services in Scotland, but as others have said this could easily turn into a solution looking for a problem.

Although I have mainly used them at off peak times, I have always found the 377s (all sub-classes) perfectly fine for the work that they do. The interiors vary and its reasonably clear that the three and five car seem to have relatively consistent work but without studying the operations its...
