I recently saw this tweet from the satire website The Daily Mash which prompted an angry backlash from many in the rail industry. Would anyone really take this seriously? Personally I doubt anyone would and it's clearly a joke. twitter.com/thedailymash/status/1064481022551777280?s=19 Edited...

Why are letters used for coachs in the UK rather than numbers as is commonplace in many other countries and services such as Eurostar?

On a recent trip to the Czech Republic I didn't see any ticket machines. Do Ceske Drahy have them or do they exclusively use ticket offices and on train sales?

How do you pay for most of your tickets? For this poll I haven't included rail travel vouchers as I'm guessing most people don't get enough / or get bank refunds to use them lots (if I'm wrong I'll add it to the poll) I hope I've covered most of the options in the poll but if not please tell...

As mobile tickets and ticket machines become even more prevalent on the railway I was thinking about usage of ticket offices and their future especially as London Underground doesn't have any anymore. Personally I haven't used a ticket office in a very long time as I always buy or collect...

GWR have launched their own set of top trumps https://www.btcwebstore.co.uk/gwr/index.php/shop/top-trump-cards.html

Which do you prefer? I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Automatic Recorded announcements can often be quite lengthy and sometimes uncesssary. While with manual announcements it can depend on the person with some going on and on while others are very brief and to the point...

What facilities do you think all intercity trains should have? I've noticed on a number of discussions there's been complaints about the lack of certain features on trains so I was wondering which ones people see as important and necessary. Choose as many from the poll as you think are should...

As many services currently operated by diesel trains run under wires for at least some of their journey do you think there would be a benefit in having these trains as bi modes instead? As more lines get electrified (hopefully) even more services will be running under wires causing unnecessary...

Personally I think we should stop changing the clocks twice a year and switch to British Summer Time all year round as lighter evenings are more useful and nicer than in the mornings for me.

Inspired by these two posts in the Do rail fares need to be made simpler? thread. I was wondering what direct journeys between pairs of stations people know of for which no tickets of any kind are available. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Apologies if this is in the wrong sub forum In the Occtanie department of Southern France on some lines: https://www.ter.sncf.com/occitanie/offres/tarifs/lignes-a-un-euro I was wondering if this would be a good way to try and boost patronage on branch lines with limited use here in the...

I was wondering where Driver Only Operation is used abroad. I imagine it is used on most suburban systems but where else? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

What examples do you have of ticket barriers that are useless and easily bypassed. My example is Flitwick where the barriers are in the ticket office but the station can easily be accessed from the main road directly onto the footbridge where there are no barriers. Sent from my Moto G (4) using...

Here in the Bristol area child discounts are 50% on First buses while when I was researching tickets on Bedfordshire Stagecoach buses child fares were around 70% of the adult fare. What are they like in your area? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

What's this about? I didn't think there were any coach services from Paddington to Stansted let alone one part of the rail network. Picture shows screenshot of 2314 Service from London Paddington to Stansted Airport Bus Stop arriving 048. Service appeared on the Paddington departure board in...

Anyone else watching it? It's been great so far with the suprise of Geriant Thomas winning the time trial and getting the yellow jersey. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Hopefully the injuries don't get any worse.
