    Supermarkets discussion

    The attitude you are up against is this: (extract from BBC News article here) Whenever we have a 'cashless society' debate it very quickly narrows down to: a) I never use cash, I never carry cash, I don't know what cash looks like, I haven't done so for x decades. Because I am 100% comfortable...

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    Which is 12 days more notice than for other recent changes (590 group)! In terms of detailed times rather than vague phrases such as 'revised times' anyway.

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Interesting but not much point if, as soon as they are released, they go back to their (alleged) tricks. Transportation to Australia* and make them walk back would delay that re-offending slightly. A lifetime custodial sentence is rather unlikely. The statement is that 'the neighbours are not...

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Regarding the blue dots (user uploaded photographs by 'Ideal Insight'), they look like estate agent sales type pictures. Crossed wires on Google? The first picture I viewed shows a view out of a window with an 'oil rig'. As to access: Taken from the oft quoted FOI request.

    New Station calendar

    An article has appeared discussing five proposed stations on the South Wales Metro network. The online article is here and I have published the full text on the relevant thread here. Page 198, post #5,922, it's a long read otherwise! I repeat just the key details here (regarding opening dates):

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    The text of the article referred to in the previous post, as per forum rules.

    Landslip at Wellington (Shropshire), Birmingham - Shrewsbury services suspended

    Not the only error: Bus Route 55A - Telford Central to Stafford.

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    It is not just a West Yorkshire problem! Same in First Potteries. Only very rarely are 'on the day' cancellations / disruptions tweeted or put on the website. Generally if the whole network has collapsed due to the M6 being closed. Part of the problem is also a lack consistency, some advance...

    The "And in other news..." thread

    It didn't shutter up though, keeps going on about it.

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Congratulations on being able to do a 21 mile walk! Access legislation in Scotland is very generous with the 'right to roam responsibly'. Part 1 of the Land Reform Act (Scotland) 2003 sets out a right of responsible non-motorised access for recreational and other purposes, to land and inland...

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    No, not even a Z999 case. No powers whatsoever to CPO something because the owner has (in some people's view) been a bit of a bother. There are ways to deal with such people. What we don't have A1 clarity on is whether Scotrail / Network Rail dug their hole on their own property or someone...

    In good time the prosecution will set out their view of the 'endangerment' (and other allegations) and the defence theirs. The jury / magistrate / whoever will consider those points carefully and, if a guilty verdict is reached, determine the penalty in accordance with the severity of the offence.

    New station at Haxby

    Yes. 1709650421 I'm not sure the points raised are a planning matter.

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Yes but you can't (generally) injunct people from the lawful use of their own home. A 'keep away from the railway' injunction would need to be very carefully worded, especially as they have to cross the line to gain access to their home (by one of the routes).

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Indeed, there was a 'drugs den' closure in my street quite recently, forbidding anyone from entering the property. There is endangering the railway, then there is 'endangering the railway'. As the court case will ultimately discuss. Variant A remove a length of rail (as in Von Ryans Express) or...

    Perhaps they wish to have a train service again!

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Difficult when your home is part of the station platform! The distance from their dining room to their bathroom is probably greater than that from their dining room to the track!

    Abandonment refunds - when *should* they be given?

    The new automated systems will not know that you made personal alternative arrangements and there is no way to tell the ticket retailer that you did so (ie no free text box). The fact that you did not scan out at the end of your journey is no evidence that you did not make the entire journey...

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Yep, I can get in there on foot, no problem, especially having walked several miles along rough tracks to reach the station anyway. There are far worse urban footways I have to negotiate.

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    There was also a news report a few days prior to that. Altnabreac station 'must reopen before the holiday season kicks off' Yes, what actions have Scotrail / Network Rail undertaken to resolve the dispute? Has there been any progress or, come the end of the 'we can't maintain it safely in...
