    Why didn't they do a HST2?

    Of course XC have brought some back luckily for us. :)

    East Coast Diversions 2012

    I've just been looking at the East Coast website. From what I can see there will be diversions between Newark and Doncaster in Feb... Presumably via Boultham and Pyewipe juncs (avoiding Lincoln). :) ...and between Stevenage and Peterborough via March in March. :wink: :D I don't think...

    'Big man' vs Sam Main incident (final decision: no charges for either)

    He tried to dive back on to the train! ^^^ It was obvious what would happen. :roll: What was the "big man" supposed to do? All he had to do was ask the guard politely if he could have his bag. He didn't even ask at all.

    Kent House - is in a London borough and has a county in its name.

    Why didn't they do a HST2?

    Quite right. Furthermore, how on Earth are they going to create a passenger counting sysetem that can tell how many people are in each carriage? :lol: A computer can't tell the difference between a human and a suitcase.

    'Big man' vs Sam Main incident (final decision: no charges for either)

    Th amount of force used then was proportional to the force he used to try to get back on and should have been expected - he is an idiot to have tried.

    I agree - typical Stagecoach - but again - cheap fares and very resonable upgrages.

    FGW's FC is nice but they need to be a bit more generous - they'll only give you instant coffee unless you pay for it! :o :evil:

    What are the critea for clipping tickets?

    A VT guard tried to clip mine - it was in a railcard holder. I think he was half asleep. :)

    You're welcome. :wink:

    'Big man' vs Sam Main incident (final decision: no charges for either)

    IF,IF,IF,IF,IF. Innocent until proven guilty. Sam Main was proven guilty when he did not provide a valid ticket - he has not yet. The "big man" has been proven guilty of nothing. The guard has been proven guilty of nothing.

    'Big man' vs Sam Main incident (final decision: no charges for either)

    Sam Main is nothing but a twit; if he thinks what he's done is "funny" he is a stupid twit; if he thinks he's going to get any compensation/proper sympathy he is an ignorant, stupid twit.

    Birmingham to Edinburgh - Help please

    Welcome to the forum. :D I sure I'm not one of the members you mentioned but hope I can help! As far as I can see the best outward fare is the £43.50 that I presume you found - Cross Country direct. If you don't mind getting back late £10 tickets are availiable (if you hurry) for the 1730...

    Why didn't they do a HST2?

    :-? I don't remember it being like that. Typical tabloid rubbish. Are they suggesting he's a secret Scotrail project - android guards? :D

    'Big man' vs Sam Main incident (final decision: no charges for either)

    ...but asking for a valid ticket does not.
