Having booked a recent flight in the USA I noted the flight as per the airline will be departing at “1:07 PM” (also note use of the 12-hour clock), and the flight time is 2 hours and 8 minutes. Most other countries flights seem to be advertised as at :x0 or :x5. Although I was watching a 1990s...

A ticket was held with an itinerary on LNER with a 20 minute connection onto Transpennine. The LNER was 50 minutes late arriving at the interchange station which ordinarily would have meant the connection onto Transpennine was missed, meaning an over two hour delay to the destination. However...

Wizzair, like Ryanair, deliberately splits up passengers travelling together on the same booking, so I prefer to pay extra for reserved seats. With Ryanair this isn't too much of an issue as you can get seats starting from £3 or £4 each. A recent booking with Wizzair, on a return flight booking...

Due to the ongoing industrial action, Transpennine seem to be cancelling a lot of trains on Sundays, but don’t actually tell you which ones are cancelled until a day or two before. I’ve booked an Advance split ticket (they have blocked APs for Sundays, so it’s an AP for the ECML leg and a CDS...

Thread for discussion to follow on from the construction thread.

From a timetabling perspective, does anyone know why Chiltern Railways choose to provide an all day service to Sudbury Hill Harrow rather than Sudbury and Harrow Road? If they only agree to stop at one of the two stations I’m intrigued as to why it’s that way around. Is there something about...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get any sort of refund of credit for smartcards of operators that are no longer trading? I'm having a clearout at home and have found some smartcards that are branded "Wessex Red" and "uLink" which used to be valid on Wessex Connect / Wessex Red / uLink...

Just Tweeted by Grant Shapps, that the Southeastern franchise will imminently transfer to the Operator of Last Resort (OLR), appears to suggest some form of corruption. No further details at the moment. https://twitter.com/grantshapps/status/1442731050468270080?s=21
