parliamentary trains come to mind, but not sure that's an exact analogy.

once you've bought a car it's game over for the train. saw a thread in which a rail employee was saying, re yellow line on platform, "if you don't want to get shouted at, don't cross the line"! no one with any self respect is going to pay through the nose for that sort of treatment.

don't use the train at all any more, northern have stopped doing cheap day returns. probably time for me to leave the forum! oh, seems you can't delete your account. is that gdpr compliant?

one of the railway's biggest problems is that the customer is the government, not the passengers.

the local MP, who has connections with the Fox Valley people, tried to get something off the ground a while ago. might have been a levelling up scheme, can't remember now. it didn't go anywhere, the whole thing was just Tories making a noise about spending money. 1677760341 re. onward to...

dore went from being a station with 4 platforms to 1 with a bus shelter.

the railway is a hostile environment so far as I'm concerned. I'm pretty sure of the rules going a couple of stops down the line with the local monopoly trainco, but any more than that? not likely. bought a long distance ticket once and was given the choice of "any permitted" or "not via...

which is more likely to happen?

I'm living a decent life on state pension + minimal pension credit. no debts for anything but I've always lived on the cheap so could be difficult if you're used to expensive holidays, new car every now and again etc etc
