    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    It was effectively their position by seeking the judicial review. The judge ruled it was fair and that the ORR weren't being mean.

    Hope Valley Capacity Scheme updates

    Am I interperting the diagram correctly that the change over of control to York happens part way down the loop? Is that normal for one box/panel to control the entrance to a loop and a different one control the exit?

    Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Bus News

    As has already been said this already exists and has for many years in the robinhood card. Successful (pre COVID) public transport improvement bids included extending this or a simular system to Derby so I assume this is still on the cards but I suspect is awaiting the forming of the East...

    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    Because some of those people died. We as a society have rightly decided that people shouldn't be exposed to a risk of dying on a tourist attraction especially when that risk can be easily avoided.

    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    It will also require a plan for safe operation in the mean time that ORR belive and given WCR have been caught by ORR not following WCRs own safety plan recently ORR should take some convincing. I suspect issuing press statements isn't the way to go about it.

    Should cost benefits of new schemes be worked out in a different way?

    Another way of saying "vibes" might be "chance of achieving modal shift" People who won't take buses will take trains. People just like trains. Not as much as we on this forum do but they just do. An example, there is a documentary I'm watching at the moment by Alice Roberts about ancient...

    Proposals for three new West Midlands railway stations to be developed

    Does anyone know what the plans are behind "additional trains are planned between Birmingham and Nottingham"? Extra in the peaks or later into the evenings? Something more radical like cutting at the stop and reversal at Derby on some services? The increase in Leicester Birmingham frequency...

    June 2024 Timetable Change

    Looks like there is still one random train missing on the Derby Crewe service in the middle of the day. Anyone know the reason. I can't believe it saves much money.

    Do you have to touch in and out with a smart card season ticket.

    Quick question do you have to touch in and out with a season ticket on a smart card? My reason for the query I commute using a Nottingham Robin hood multi modal season ticket combined with an ordinary rail season ticket from the boundary station. I used to commute to an unbarried station...

    I have emailed the Nottingham Post or rather a generic reach plc address about this. I suggest others do to.

    Special Offers Discussion

    I hadn't thought of this. The Post is missing out. If they had the tokens I would by the paper. I will try and find some way to tell Nottingham post this and encourage other Nottingham residents to do the same!

    Derbyshire Wayfarer validity

    Several years ago I was at a meeting of the friends of the derwent railway group where they asked the EMR rep there for the wayfarers to be sold on board and the EMR rep there said no as the guards wouldn't have the special wallets. This was a long time ago though and I'm glad they are selling...

    ORR unveils station usage data between April 2022 and March 2023

    Wow. I'm hoping some kind person will transform it into a more manageable form like has been done for the first data set. I expect it to be fascinating!

    Over 66 pass applied for - query about validity

    Nottingham tram only allows free travel for residents but gives other area pass holders a discount. I think Derby followed Nottinghams lead and now also excluds the red arrow which is also excluded from the £2 scheme. There are two other slower routes that are eligible.
