Do EMR have guards at Sheffield for the MML, i know they don't have drivers in Sheffield?

In the Northern section, nobody seems to travel between Sheffield and Leeds, In the TP section nobody seems to travel between Sheffield and Manchester Piccadilly? or am i reading this wrong?

Can somebody shed light how these services work from a crew perspective? Would i be right in thinking that there will only be a small number of drivers / conductors at each location, outside Glasgow? Do they have managers at these locations or is it all a satellite of Glasgow? Some of these...

For a open access operator would it not be more financially viable going via Leeds after Sheffield, than Doncaster?

Here is how Brightline in Florida was financed.

So HS2 with Government approval decide to reinstate the construction of the line from Birmingham to Manchester and the entire Eastern arm, to Sheffield and Leeds. To finance this they decide to sell bonds. Anybody can buy the bonds from the ordinary Joe Bloggs to financial institutions. The...

That's exactly how Ryanair works, how can you say its not? I really don't get your statement.

But there will be no difference for you and others who just want to turn up and go, nobody is denying you that option. If it was available, why deny those who wish to plan ahead and and pay significantly less for their ticket on the same route? It called choice and competition.

Well for a start it will end the current monopoly of Avanti. Both you and i will have a choice, if you want to travel by rail from Euston to Manchester and Glasgow. If you want to travel with Avanti and pay their fares fair play to you, but i and others would prefer to pay less and travel with...

But most people know when their annual leave is throughout the year, same with school holidays. If i can get cheaper tickets booking 6 months ahead, i and many others will choose that option. I will happily pay peanuts to travel to Manchester / Glasgow from Euston with Ryanair on rail, as there...

Not in my experience If the likes of Easyjet and Ryanair did not exist today, how much do you think a ticket with the likes of Loganair, British Airways and Iberia would cost today? We would go back to the days when most people could not afford the price of tickets. Air travel would return to...

Ok, another example. Ryanair have been given a open access licence to run 3 trains a day from London Euston to Glasgow and back, calling only at Manchester Piccadilly both ways. Paths have been found, so no issues there. Tickets will go on sale 6 months ahead. A single ticket from Euston to...

There are plenty of web sites out there to help you with your packing when travelling with Ryanair. https://www.varsity.co.uk/fashion/25837

If i want to travel from Sheffield to London there is no competition out of Sheffield, there is only the EMR out of Sheffield. If you and the railways want me to go to Doncaster or Retford and travel to Kings Cross then that is an alternative, it is not competition.

So Mr and Mrs Joe Blogs and their 2 six year old boys go for a weeks sun in Gran Canaria . They fly with Ryanair from Manchester but have bought the cheapest option that includes no luggage. The 2 boys will only need a couple of t shirts and shorts for the weeks holiday, they ware them all in...

When you purchase your ticket and luggage you will be sent luggage labels. You attach the labels to your bag, when you arrive at the station and go through the luggage gate, the gate will read the barcode on your luggage. A 1 will appear on a screen on the gate telling staff that you have...

Right, the Ryanair model is in use and you have turned up to buy a last minute ticket with a bike, dog and suitcase. You do know that the you would have saved 60% on the ticket price if you purchased your ticket online, 6 months ago? It would have been 30% three months ago. You will now have to...

There seems to be a theme on here regarding luggage, i think some of you are missing the point. Go to any airport in the UK or in Europe and check in for your flight, the queues can be horrendous. But look at the check in counters for Ryanair, there is hardly anybody there. The vast majority of...

Perhaps i am missing something here? What additional services are you referring to?
