Update: After sending story to a director at TfW on Friday last week, the second appeal was allowed today. Good outcome for the lad, but shocking behaviour by WMT.

Yes indeed. That is what happened.

Sure is. Issued at 0812. Train arrived at 0808. Reason stated as OTHER. 1705173169 Thought so. Sadly he appealed immediately and the appeal was declined! I’ve told him to re-appeal.

Seems it’s possible to buy a Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton advance single with 16-25 railcard for a train at 0730 on a weekday and pay under £12.00. I always thought fares were rounded up to the minimum fare if the RC discount took them under the threshold. Now the issue is my friend has had a...

These posters appear to be all over the TfW network. I'm on the Cambrian and I'm wondering how these are not in breach of some regulation or other. How can it be 'the law' at (for example) Penrhyndeudraeth where I snapped this shot? It is unstaffed with no TVM. I presume the rule still applies...

They should get some of those 'Dukws' that were used on Thames river tours for the T19 - ideal for the Conwy Valley wash outs. In fact they could stop running trains down there altogether and combine the bus/rail route using them.

Help please if possible. Can Eastleigh ticket office sell tickets for the car park at the station or is it a case of buying at a machine? I need to park there from 1500 Friday to 0900 Monday. A weekend ticket seems to exist for £7.90 valid from 1400 Friday. SWR website doesn't say when this...

Is there an Open Top tour/service bus running in Portsmouth currently?

Wythall Transport Museum reopened yesterday and are running an event on Bank Holiday 30th & 31st August.

In the early 1990's at TAME VALLEY TRAVEL in Birmingham we had ex. WMPTE Fleetlines (6372 & 6726 IIRC), an ex. WMPTE National (6818) - (and maybe 6852/3?) and 2 ex WMPTE Volvos (4740 & 4773) competing against West Midlands Travel.

Do any experts have any suggestions for excessing a SVR Manchester to London Terminals return portion to enable use on the 0910 Euston to Crewe. It has a 2C restriction so currently no good until 0927. There are some SSR tickets with ‘pre 0906’ restrictions such as to Marsden ‘any permitted’...

TfW also adding the Crewe-Shrewsbury stopping service on Sundays from the Dec 19 timetable too.

I have found an old photo of a visit I made to Rugeley Power Station open day. I'm stood on the steps of loco 20163 in Railfreight Grey livery. A class 56 and a 47 in the same liveries are behind. From Google I can see that 58039 was named 'Rugeley Power Station' on Saturday 13/9/86. Can...

Do also consider this Routemaster tour bus http://www.regionaltransport.co.uk if you have time. Runs in Shrewsbury and Ironbridge but not very often!

What time are you arriving in Porthmadog? With a 44 minutes connection I'm guessing on the 1251 arrival? There is a service 3 (Arriva) from across the road at 1259 towards the town centre.

No taxi rank but local taxis can be booked ahead - Dukes 01766 514799, B&M 01766 770851, Castle Cabs 01766 522695. Depending on what time you arrive at the main line station you can also catch buses 3, 3B, S97 or T2 from the TfW station down the High Street 2 stops to get nearer Harbour Station...

But the SVR from Rugeley Town is £44.10 so rather more expensive.

A friend of mine has regularly travelled from Rugeley Trent Valley to Chester using a £23.40 SVR (code 2T) and to Liverpool using a £30.40 SVR (code CS) and has always got an itinerary via Birmingham New Street. He appreciates that he could travel directly to Crewe in both cases from Rugeley...

That Shrewsbury 'group fare' is about to be removed in council cut backs. I lived in Shrewsbury from 2000 to 2015 and in that time the service reduced form a 10 min. frequency all day to 15 and now 20. It once had 'Real Time data' at bus stops and that went to! A shadow of what it used to be!

The Ffestiniog & West Highland Railway has a number of vacancies advertised at the moment, including full time positions at the new £2.2 million station in Caernarfon. Summer posts are also available in Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog. Full time post holders benefit from entering the RDG...
