I've been observing a swathe of cancellations on this route (mainly Northampton to Euston) recently that have been attributed to no traincrew. Does anyone know what and why this is going on. Passengers are becoming increasingly fed up with this mess.

I saw the aftermath of an interesting incident the other day on a train I was driving. It transpired that a passenger onboard my train had no ticket. The reason for the person not possessing a valid ticket I do not know but I do know that my guard had authorised said person travel in the...

I regret to inform any bus enthusiasts that Impera Bus and Coach who provide services in Wirral and Liverpool have ceased trading this evening. They ran some excellent must needed services to the area, mostly ran by well maintained Dennis Darts. Very sad for the company and their employees.

I am a former railway employee and have not received and PF's UPFN's etc... One of my close relatives however has received a fair few in his time and has been very lucky to have out of court settlements each time. But all of the RPI's locally know him to have been a little sh*t to them in the...
