I don’t think wind speed will have any effect on ships at sea. What I believe is difficult is mooring up. Wind direction may also have an influence on what can and can not be done. So, you may find that, a force 10 westerly gale will see shops cancelled but a force 10 southerly may not affect them

Not entirely true. I personally have challenged (and subsequently sold new tickets to) two Interrail users - both with UK passports - who were very clearly using their Interrail passes as U.K. All Line Rover tickets and having a jolly all over England

So what happens if I borrow your power bank and charging lead and it snaps off in my phone - damaging it? Who's going to pay for a repair or new phone? In today's risk averse society - I wouldn't risk using my own power bank/charging cable unless it had been approved by my employer

Do LNER crews normally work together from staff of the same depot? So Leeds drivers always work with Leeds train managers or is there a mixture

It's a difficult situation. People do make mistakes but people also try to "pull a fast one". Strictly speaking you need to have a ticket for the journey you are making. If you caught the wrong train, or fell asleep and missed your stop for example, then, in many respects, it's only right that...

I travelled on the 2150 sleeper from Milan to Bari last year. The train arrived into the platform 20 minutes before departure. Breakfast was a coffee, orange juice and a pastry. See picture. A "can" of water was provided. I'd buy a bottle (or two) from a local supermarket

If you manage to get a person to scan the ticket now - which will show usage - then the person scanning the ticket now will also be logged as scanning it. Will that incriminate this person

Train departs 12:00, ticket purchased 12:10, I check ticket at 12:30 - action = nothing Train departs at 12:00, ticket purchased 12:29, I check ticket at 12:30 - action = a) Customer holds a full fare undiscounted ticket - I will warn them b) customer holds a off peak ticket or a railcard...

How can LNER have a staff coast of 2.9 when there may be up to 6 members of staff on a train yet Northern have a staff cost of 15.3 with only two of them ?

There's no reservation fee for IC trains in Belgium. it's not even possible to reserve seats. Just fill out the date on your coupon and enjoy Belgium. However, avoid Thalys trains - they have compulsory reservations and the fees are quite high - however Thalys don't run trains to the...

Is that the end of the 68’s now ? Will we see their usage on TPE tomorrow (Saturday) ?

What I find interestin is the % of people at each TOC who voted "no" https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/members-updates/defend-jobs-pay-and-conditions-tocs301123/?preview=true Its probably an average of 10% - but at TPE and Avanti it's closer to 20%. Why so high at these two TOC's. And, the question...

I'm interested who is responsible for allocating platforms for trains at short notice. Let's pick a TOC operated station (rather than a Network Rail operated one) - I'll pick Doncaster Departing from platform 4 is the 1210 to Edinburgh and the 1240 to Cleethorpes. The Edinburgh train has been...

Does the minimum fare apply to both outward and return journey? So, if I use the return portion of an Anytime return (costing £11) at 0900. Is this valid ?

In the U.K. the guard will “give two” on the buzzer to tell the driver that they are ready to depart. In Belgium I’ve seen the guard use a key in a device on the platform and then quickly board the train. Is the bell/buzzer unique to the UK? What systems are in use in other countries .

Dewsbury and Huddersfield stations could accommodate 2x802’s

If you’ve yet to get your Eurostar ticket you can buy a ticket from London to any Belgian station.

Travelled from Frankfurt to Brussels today. The train was 10 minutes late for much of the journey. Fairly empty from Frankfurt but all seats reserved. By Cologne there were about 80 people standing

Where has this been announced?

Both Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria use the green flag for dispatch and, until a few years ago, it was green flag dispatch at Manchester Airport too
