Thanks both. Have found that now on the Travel South Yorkshire website. Looks like the easiest way for me will be to buy it through the First Bus app so I'll give that a go. Cheers

This would look a heck of a lot better with yellow doors. Nowhere near as classy as the existing silver no matter what however

Hi all, I thought I would ask here as despite much searching, I can't find the answer online. I'm traveling several times between Meadowhall and central Sheffield tomorrow. I see that there is a combined bus and tram day ticket available. Do I need to buy this in advance or can I tap on and...

I'm guessing these are all software / sensor issues that will be ironed out rather than mechanical failures? Have to say I am very much enjoying the 197s on my route (Cardiff to Cheltenham). In the two years I've lived in Lydney we have routinely had 170s, 158s, 150s, 153s, 175s and now 197s...

Does this mean trouble ahead once the existing pay agreements expire if TfW haven't found a way of increasing revenue by then?

Thanks - service reliability can't have helped with revenue over the last twelve months - the service through Lydney has been extremely stressful and frustrating to use. Hopefully as reliability improves, so will revenue.

Posting again here as the duplicate thread was locked: Overall it looks like a marginal improvement for my service from Lydney (Cardiff - Cheltenham) but disappointing to see the evening improvements scrapped. What has driven these cutbacks? A rise in costs or a cut in funding? It...

Overall it looks like a marginal improvement for my service from Lydney (Cardiff - Cheltenham) but disappointing to see the evening improvements scrapped. What has driven these cutbacks? A rise in costs or a cut in funding? It goes against Welsh Government's big targets to get people out of cars.

Yes, decades. I was commuting between Bath and Southampton over ten years ago and inadequate two and three car 158s were the norm. The route has needed five car trains for decades.

Can only hope it is the 175s. Over three hours on a fleet with dysfunctional air conditioning, no thanks! Whatever happens, the existing situation is an absolute disgrace and it beggars belief that it has been this way for decades.

Oh that's a shame, CrossCountry are generally more reliable than TfW. I hope any future recast doesn't break connections towards Bristol at Severn Tunnel Junction, which currently rely on the CrossCountry services.

Thanks, that make sense but do you know why it would be planned that way? It takes away any incentive to use the new TfW service.

Have any of the new services actually run today? When commuting from Lydney via Severn Tunnel Junction this morning, the departure boards at both were confusingly showing the new services as delayed rather than cancelled. The timetable displays at Severn Tunnel Junction still contain the...

Yes, it is exactly the same staff doing the cleaning, filling the shelves, and being on the tills. Only the very largest stores have departmental roles nowadays and even then staff are expected to switch departments, with literally one minute's notice, as needed. It would not be unreasonable at...

These aren't separate job details, these are what all members of staff are doing at any given time based on how busy the shop is, when deliveries arrive, when promotions are changing etc. Imagine asking train drivers, who earn two-three times more than a supermarket worker, to be so flexible in...

Sorry, but I worked for Sainsbury's for seven years and it was instilled in absolutely every member of staff that they had a responsibility to grow sales: Warehouse staff ensuring products were in the right place to be located for the shop floor. Shop floor staff ensuring products were...

Is the Government leaving itself to being sued by FristGroup if they are stripped of their contract for poor performance when the performance was out of their hands?

£2m for different seats?! Wow. I actually like the IET seats but then I have an extra firm sofa at home so...

Had my first ride on a 197 today, for a short trip between Severn Tunnel Junction and Lydney. Overall I was quite impressed, despite the copious amounts of litter strewn throughout. Pros and cons from my perspective- Pros: Bright modern design inside and out. They are fast, so much faster than...

Exactly this. Not to mention the complete lack of fresh air inside at all times of the year as the ventilation system may as well not exist. Then the regular exhaust fumes inside, excruciatingly slow doors and passenger egress and access, engine noise, overly soft unsupportive seats (GWR) or...
