The HSS has been affected by rising fuel prices and the route in general by the low cost airlines

Just a guess, but probably because the current Scottish Executive wouldnt fund the tram lines on the bridge, and other associated tram lines that would be needed. And I doubt local councils and private investors could fund it alone The current Scotish Executive will only fund what Labour/Lib...

Victoria is run by TfL isn't it? I assume they own London Victoria Coach Station Ltd

As far as I know the SNP wanted to scrap it, but then Labour, the Lib Dems and Conservatives would have passed a no confidence vote in the SNP government, and possibly caused new elections. So the SNP had to back down and allow the tram scheme to go ahead. But they wont fund any cost overruns or...

Low Cost flights are available from Newcastle to all destinations served from Teeside/Durham Tees Valley by low cost airlines except Warsaw. Of course that doesn't mean flights to some destinations wouldn't be cheaper from Teeside than Newcastle Newcastle is a base for Easyjet and Jet 2, with...

Arent those numbers not 100% accurate because 'all stations' tickets to a particular town are attributed to only one station (such as in Dorchester or Thorne)

AFAIK the main train operator there will be Stagecaoch Midland, hence why they will operate it Doesnt Polesworth have a one way only service thoyugh?

Saw Duchess of Sutherland at Scarborough yesterday running around the stock - looked fine then. But it was an hour late coming in

Today Sunday Times also says Savers may be deregulated, the DfT will say more work needs to be done on any High Speed Line, and nothing will be said on Crossrail until the Spending Review in the Autumn

Are you sure thats Hull station? :shock: Can hardly recognise it Looks better than before though :grin:

Stagecoach have been after First a lot in the South West recently - they have taken a over a lot of former First routes in North Devon, and competing with them on some other routes

Surely EWS wouldnt loose all their coal traffic?

Didnt DRS want to use te 66/8 range, but couldn't because they clashed with the numbers of some carriages in either EMU's or DMU's?

But I imagine the FGW service in particular are used by more than just local passengers. Don't the DfT realise this? Also do SWT ever send an EMU to Brighton on the Basingstoke services?

Why would increased Reading-Gatwick services impact on Brighton-Cardiff - if Redaing-Gatwick was extended to Brighton I could perhaps understand it, as passengers from Brighton would only have to change at Reading to get to Bristol/Cardiff, and could avoid London. But even then what about...

I can see why SWT might be withdrawn by what about the Cardiff/Bristol-Brighton market - do they expect everyone to change at London (twice, Victoria and Paddington)? It seems the DfT doesnt like Brighton, withdrawing Cross Country and now FGW

But FGW is continuing?

Why are SWT leavig Brighton? What abouit FGW as they operate some hours instead of SWT?

Any stops en-route? I assume the 31's will be based at Minehead for the duration of this?

I think it very sad some people got excited about 45112 failing. What if it was your favourite loco on the train that failed and got substituted - you wouldnt be happy then And Im not a peak fan, and dont really have a favourite loco type, just like seeing heritage traction have a place on...
