Whilst that certainly hasn't helped the main culprit here is managing things in the most financially efficient way possible. This is the ultimate outcome of management by spreadsheet and in particular HM Treasury spreadsheet. Keeping reserves of rolling stock and crew on hand to cater to the...

An anonymous member of station staff who was at Liverpool Lime Street on Monday has asked if the following could be posted giving more of an inside view of what happened on the day:

Arghhh this was my next guess!

Futsukaichi?

These replace their existing locohauled rakes I take it?

Heavens sake!

Is Tosu any better?

Come on @superalbs put me out of my misery as I have a new hopefully stronger guess to make :lol:

Whilst I do think the AP on short distance flows is barmy in some places I do think they might have their place (assuming the flexible fare cannot be reduced somewhat to compensate should they be abolished). However what I would do is make them all automatically 70 minute flex tickets that can...

Actually I would argue that this is probably the more sensible way of doing it. Rather than printing thousands of leaflets, the majority of which get pulped after the change of timetable, just have stations produce them to meet local demand. I imagine Skipton is only ever making enough to meet...

Takeo-Onsen?

Flexible tickets (such as Anytime or Off-Peak), including paper tickets, are refundable up to 28 days after the end of their validity. You may wish to buy in advance to beat the queues on the day but equally to secure seat reservations for longer journeys.

Yes but if detected (and it does get detected, see Disputes and Prosecution) you'll likely face a demand for a very large sum of money including all the refunded fares and some admin costs on top. Worst case they might even try a prosecution for fraud but that is less likely.

It's GB News it's basically supposed to be entertainment masquerading as news. Same as Fox.

Who was this purchased from and was this the itinerary offered when you searched from Horsham to York?

Sur Sure, it's not especially complex to explain. I'm not sure a station PA or station screen is the place to do it!

Sure. But that definitely would sound like an excuse to passengers I reckon. Or at the very least buck passing!

I'm not sure I'd say it was "large amounts"? It happens to frequently to be sure but Northern seem to run the full hourly service, it's the extra every other hour through a chunk of the day semi-fasts that do get hit but even then it's not often all of them. But again, what would you prefer...

I mean is it a "lazy get-out clause" when there are more trains down with faults that planned? What would you prefer they say?

Neither Hamas nor the Israeli governments seem particularly interested in peace at this point. As has so often been the case in Palestinian history going back at least to the 1930s, they suffer twice or even three times over. Once because of Israeli government actions, twice because their Arab...
