Walking along London Road in Brighton I noted that there were double red no parking lines, which I thought only appeared in London and around some airports. Do any other towns/cities have double red lines?

The only map I can find is this one below, and to get from Warrington to Northwich I would have to leave the area and re-enter it, on the 9a or 9CAT buses. Idea is to travel by rail to Warrington, and return from Northwich. It appears on the rail line between Knutsford and Northwich you do...

Quick question, is the radar-key toilet on Deansgate Manchester open in the evenings? Asking because I'll be arriving there on a tram and if there's a wait for my train connection I'll possibly require the toilet. Thanks!!

When you see (even on Split Ticketing) that on Sunday an adult would pay no less than £145 for a return Bristol Temple Meads to Newcastle, makes me think that once a fare reaches three figures it simply puts potential passengers - customers - off and they look elsewhere. If the maximum you...

Booked man/Euston and return with an advance, out on Mon, back on Fri, so specific trains only. If there are strikes and I can't travel, can I go the day before/after on that ticket (any train around the same time); alternatively how easy is it to get a full refund off Avanti? Thanks! Edit...

Just about to book a flight from Manchester for a few days in April - not Easter hols! Thinking of using the branch line, so is there a get on/off day ticket, and is there anything worth seeing/doing around the stations? Note, I like cozy pubs and not-too severe walks, and little friendly cafes...

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/04/eurostar-st-pancrasmay-cap-services-post-brexit-passport-checks-warns-station-owner While I'm still relatively in the dark over the new system, I assume our biometrics (fingerprints/iris scans) will be taken at the border as opposed to doing...

Greater Manchester is, slowly, introducing tap-in/out for some of it's rail stations. Great, very convenient and all that; however those like me with railcards won't get the benefit of a discount so we still need to purchase a ticket. I know some systems like the OV Chipcard in Netherlands can...

Thinking of this trip in March. Using London City > Rotterdam to avoid Schiphol. Once at the airport thinking of bus 33 from the airport to Meijersplien, take the metro to Den Haag centraal, then the train to Haarlem. Question, how do I pay for that; I'm hoping that you simply present your...

Next year, which starts next week (!) I will be entitled to my OAP's bus pass and intend to add the local rail useage for a tenner. The rules are clear, in Greater Manchester use - on trains - is restricted to outside the morning peak. Fair enough, but Northern who run the majority of trains in...

Regarding the tree causing severe damage to the HST, if a passer by (say over a bridge) sees something on a line which is potentially dangerous, how would one report it that (a) would immediately get through and (b) be dealt with quickly? If I saw something like an over-blown tree my instant...

What is the procedure if this happens, would the pax with advance ticket be entitled to the difference refunded, and if so how would they go about it? Also will you still be allowed to sit in your chosen seat as per ticket? Read rumours that some TOCs have been asked to declassify over Xmas to...

Reading the trains not stopping in the right places at stations thread, made me wonder if, despite the driver on seeing a red signal, attempting to stop in good time, but the train not gripping and sliding past, maybe downhill in icy rails, (a) what sanctions - if any - would a driver face (ie...

https://twitter.com/matthew_drama/status/1727259102412415406 If the teacher is correct, and they have an incorrect code through no fault of their own, why can't the ticket office correct that, or the guard simply let them on?? For goodness sakes, to have to revert to twitter when you can't...

Simon Calder (travel reporter) reports in the south people being asked to "work from home" tomorrow. https://twitter.com/SimonCalder/status/1719653767576982009 Doesn't actually say who has warned them!! Sensible precautions or over-reacting? Possibly with the ground saturated from a very...

Dunno why they have to have names instead of letters, but hey. Hoping for the best up north tomorrow, got the train tot he airport and a flight mid-afternoon, hopefully more-or-less on time and flying above all the nasty stuff down south. Thought about bringing my trip forward a day, but left it...

Read that there's now the equivalent of the Piccadilly Tap (which is not quite on Piccadilly station, it's down the slope a bit...!) actually within the building of Victoria, not been yet and not sure if it's open, but if it is and anyone's been, is it as good as/better than Piccadilly Tap, and...

I had all my bookmarks nicely organised in their tiles on the front page. However, after noon today noticed they'd all gone, and Opera had decided to replace their old browser with a new one, meaning I had lost everything saved and had to start from fresh; there is "synchronisation" but thy only...

Moving away from the thread about Bond St (!); wondered if stations were sponsored by firms to boost TFL income, what would be the best fit? Waterloo obviously by a toilet manufacturer, maybe Russell Square by Vets4U, etc etc.... After you...!

Any routes have significant lengthening of their scheduled times due to not being able to go at 30?
