You can add the 10-trip Metrobús carnet and a pair of airport supplements in the same transaction when buying the card itself—no need for separate transactions. Bear in mind that the airport supplement is only valid on the day of purchase, so you’ll need to buy/load another pair on your second...

In addition, expired railcards stay visible in the Railcard app but greyed-out (and shunted to the end of a carousel if you have multiple cards) rather than the default purple. The 'View Railcard' option is replaced with a 'Renew Railcard' button. I have a current Two Together with my partner...

As per IanVisits, the driving consoles are mounted higher to accommodate a standing operating position, rather than seated in the current stock:

Why do Jacobs bogies preclude end doors and/or equipment above floor level? [Asked as a complete layperson, not aggressively!] Sure, I can think of various continental designs with shared bogies that have equipment in the car ends / higher floors over the bogies, but these are mainly low-floor...

That's interesting—thanks both!

I'm probably going to need to travel CDF–BNG at New Year, and was hoping to aim for a mk4 service, so it's good to see these are in service now! Are they doing the full set of diagrams (is it three northbound & three southbound)? I'll be keeping my eye on the Diagrams thread, assuming things...

I had no idea about this! When was this done? Is there any more information online or anywhere about this? I grew up in Sully, and the removal of the railway and subsequent building over almost all the alignment through the village has always been so frustrating. Peak traffic was always bad...

Some of the older/more traditional pilgrimages have remarkably formal uniforms (whereas most pilgrimages just make do with a uniform T-shirt), so you might've seen one of them. And a lot of pilgrimages will indeed have quite the party, both at Lourdes and in transit. The Order of Malta was...

A little less vintagely, I was part of a Lourdes pilgrimage in the early 2000s, which involved a chartered TGV from Calais-Ville direct to Lourdes. We'd arrive by coach (usually via Eurostar, but a couple of times from the ferry) in the early morning and load up the TGV ready for a 6am or 6:30am...

I was the only passenger when I went down on Tuesday, on one of the extra shuttles. I was outnumbered by the conductor and three BTP officers... In the two full days I spent on the Maes, I lucked out and happened to be indoors during every downpour—until Friday night in front of the outdoor...

Those of us who are getting intercity services from far afield could really do with proper times being published earlier than at the very last minute It's a good job I long ago gave up on the possibility of advance fares, and resigned myself to getting a walk-up ticket instead!

Is that a list of trains as at North Llanrwst station through the day on Monday 5th? That looks like it's just the standard timetable, no additional services yet.

TfW have put out a press release announcing 14 additional daily services (seven round trips perhaps?), but they're not yet in the journey planner and their Twitter team doesn't know about them. Is there any suggestion yet of when they'll be? I'll be travelling up next Tuesday and would like to...
