If this is a case of remarkable mistunderstanding rather than fraud then a solicitor will, despite the unfortunate cost, be best positioned to be able to help you articulate this.

Easyjet manage to hand out food vouchers electronically and automatically, without the involvement of any local staff presence. Perfectly possible if people are willing to put in a basic amount of effort to not treat passengers customers with contempt! I accept though that the last condition...

Can't they set up a system to offer vouchers for use at arrival or departure station if they can't provide on-train catering?

If you're visiting Estonia and want to have been only just above Russian soil while travelling on land just for the sake of it then the Saatse boot might be your best option. There's a road from Värska to Saatse that crosses through Russian territory (entirely unremarkable forest) for a few...

I do support busways, but this is a great example of how all the flaws in execution can build up. If it wasn't for the low bridge south of the railway station these wouldn't be single deckers, and that would help. If the Orchard Park East stop wasn't built metres around the corner from being...

The long standing Hunts & District Service was broadly three buses an hour (with peak extras) that had three slightly different routes between St Ives and Huntingdon (553, 554, 555). (Wyton Airfield and Houghton village were both served broadly hourly, and the services that went to neither also...

If it is accepted logic (I disagree, but I realise it's just me v the world!) that the Southern Guideway doesn't have sufficient room to be safe, is there any plausible realistic way of getting trams into Cambridge at all? Personally I think there absolutely is (railway station, Station Rd...

If we can't sort out infrastructure problems with existing well used and often overcrowded lines (not to mention Wisbech or Haverhill etc), are we just on the cusp of sorting out something better than a busway? I wish we were, but it doesn't seem like it. Though interestingly Haverhill itself...

I was very much against the CGB, and in construction it was a disaster that has blighted the name of busways badly. However it also suffers unfairly from being compared against a hypothetical perfect railway rather than any realistic alternative to a busway. In operation it has generally been...

Part of the solution might instead be for Cross Country actually run their service! It's beyond pathetic that they've never returned to hourly on the route before now! :-(

I guess the distance was just too far and the terrain just too unforgiving? I've never seen any proposals for one, not even from the era that brought us things like the proposed lines to Portencross and north of Largs that made no sense at all whatsoever! https://maps.nls.uk/view/216546884

If you're going from an ECLM station to Glasgow Central then that's true; connections to Glasgow as a whole are fine and adding a connection doesn't make much difference. However if you're going from somewhere that's already a connection or two away from the ECML to somewhere that's a...

I maintain the opinion that it's too Western centric a viewpoint consider that we have much say in what happens. We have the ability to let Putin just win. Everything else is outwith our control.

It may be worth heritage railways combining resources and setting up their own supply chain. 36000 tons pa is not a lot, but in fact in terms of the sort of smaller general cargo ships that go to places like Kings Lynn it would be more than enough!

"Near St Petersburg" indeed, but much much more closer to Estonia. I hope the attack wasn't launched from there, as that could be the sort of thing that could lead to rather an expansion of things...

I used them from Estonia to Northern Lithuania. My outbound journey left Tallinn 75m late despite being first thing in the morning and the coach already being sitting there (and lost time more on the journey which I can't blame them for). While looking at the tracker (which didn't give any...

It would be horrific, but also, the nature of rail and air are different and the way the idea is framed fails to take that into account. Every bit of air that is most similar to rail is the part of air travel that Ryanair doesn't get involved in (like Heathrow). I would venture to suggest that...

It's a very Western centric viewpoint to put the power or even the ability to make the decision in the West's hands, when it is not the West's decision or even at all within the West's power to decide whether there is peace.

Yes - it's RZD. It's permitted only per some pre-existing international agreement to allow Russia to access Kaliningrad, so there's now no set down or pick up in Europe and it's not a service to Europe as such; merely through it.

The last loco hauled services were Vilnius to Klaipeda and Riga - Kyiv. I think the first is now mostly units but there are a few loco hauled services a day, and the second is now suspended. There are of course the Moscow - Kaliningrad trains, which are neither within nor to Lithuania as they...
