If there is going to be a shop with hot food to purchase anyway, why not just offer 1st class one or two free items from the shop, or alternatively a spending allowance. This could be served at seat, maybe even plated with proper cutlery if it was determined that passengers want that. Some...

Can anyone share their experience using allaboard and getting a refund? In the interrail app, when you go to My Pass > Add a Pass, does that make it non-refundable from that point? Or can you still refund it if you haven't added any travel days?

I thought the check letters in the DL number prevented people from just changing their year of birth? Does trainline not validate the number then?

Is that really any different to translating proper nouns, as you won't see "Manceinion" or "Llundain" on any signs in the relevant stations either. For the languages I know, I would instantly identify "International" as the intended English translation of the relevant word. I would guess that...

Been following and enjoying this thread over the past year but this seems to be my first post here. I had resigned myself to never managing to do Tinsley as my rules require me to be able to see outside the train unless the PSUL is never traversed in daylight. Especially as I don't live in the...

With a service every 15 to 30 minutes it may be harder to justify going an hour early if you get challenged - as long as there is no disruption I have had an advance from GLQ with connection at EDB twice. The first time all trains were delayed around Haymarket for over 15 minutes, so I went...

Looking up fares on the Stagecoach website for St Andrews to Edinburgh on the X58/X59. It says a single is £14 but a day return is only £8.10? East Scotland Dayrider is £12.20. Why does a single that costs more than a dayrider even exist?

Stations on the Doha Metro Green line are as follows: Al Mansoura - Msheireb - 8 intermediate stations - Al Riffa On my visit to Qatar earlier this year, I noticed that this line was operated in two parts, even though the infrastructure was set up for the entire line to operate as I would have...

Many airlines require you to reimburse them for any fines and the cost of being returned to your origin as part of their conditions of carriage. This would of course be a civil claim, and perhaps may not stand up in court depending on the specific circumstances as well as local consumer rights...

That is not the reason the German backpackers were denied entry to the US. They had just spent a month in New Zealand. After their month in the US, they planned to spend another month in Japan. When asked how they were able afford such a long period of travel (bearing in mind they are 19 and 18...

Continuation exit is only relevant to Oyster. You can only use contactless to WGC. If you touch in with contactless at Aldgate, touch again at Farringdon and touch out at WGC, the TfL computer will work out what you've done and charge you correctly for a single Aldgate-WGC journey. If you used...

Why do these parents choose to send their kids to Welsh schools? Were I Welsh with a poor command of the language, but decided to send my child to a Welsh school, I would be trying to improve my Welsh as my child(ren) learnt it at school. Of course I appreciate that not all parents will have...

A problem with multi-member seats would be that in the case of 2 MPs per constituency, then a very marginal constituency under FPTP might actually becomes a safe seat. Suppose it's Tory 45%, Labour 45% and other parties 10%. Tories and Labour would get one MP each. Even if the two main parties...

jfollows said it was dependents of students. I haven't been keeping up but I know it became more difficult or impossible for some students to bring their spouses/partners (who used to have full rights to work, even when the student themself didn't), so if a student and a spouse and perhaps a...

I've been to cafes in Blaenau F and Llanrwst where the only non-Welsh speakers were me and the staff member at the counter! It felt slightly awkward when they had to respond to every customer with "sorry I don't speak Welsh"

The only way to find out the "Will of the People" is to have another referendum with properly worded options, but no UK politican is going to risk another one where the result isn't already absolutely clear beforehand, which would mean that there isn't really any point in holding a referendum...

This was the example given by the OP!

On the M1 southbound, from about Luton onwards there is a section where it becomes 5 lanes. Every time I drive that way I seem to end up in the 5th lane as I'm trying to overtake, but it slows to 60mph and I notice that lanes 1-3 are empty. It takes a while to move back to the left because the...

Wikipedia says the word visa comes from your documents needing to be seen in advance of travel, so in that sense a UK ETA, US ESTA are not visas. Yet Australia calls their version a visa, and it even considers NZ citizens (who basically have freedom of movement) presenting their passport at...

Thanks... not sure how I missed that when looking on the website
