    Should I do my PCV by joining a bus company or paying privately?

    I did it myself with Peter Smythe and I’ve cherry-picked where I want to go. Certainly a much better option if you can afford it. Cost me around £2,000.

    June 2024 Timetable Change

    Interesting note about the additional calls at Althorpe, Crowle and Thorne South on the alternate hour. This could either mean the Northern stopping service to Scunthorpe continues to give an hourly service to these stations or alternatively, these additional calls in effect replace what is...

    Transpora Group

    I had the pleasure of being on route A today. There was a good team giving out lots of information and leaflets and was great to ride on an old Routemaster. Passenger numbers weren't too bad but there were lots of people taking photos as we passed through. I hope it can wash its face though as...

    HCT Group in Administration (was Bristol Community Transport to cease trading)

    Good to hear you're well and all the best for the future, Phil. Horrific times for the industry at the moment, but it's people like you we need to see it through to the other side.

    Freightliner Class 90s

    Cost of electric is more than diesel at the minute, so they're only doing Crewe-Coatbridge

    Whatever may be with Rhys, he did the right thing in leaving HCT Group by the looks of things!

    Transpora Group

    Funnily enough I went to Blackpool yesterday and saw quite a few Coastliner vehicles, but none had Transpora branding on them as it shows on their Twitter photos.

    Northern Service Reductions from 4th Jan 2022

    Certainly looks that way! From what I understand it will return two-hourly with a three hour gap in the daytime, when it eventually ends up being a train service. Shambolic.

    Rail lack of stories on traction and rolling stock

    Yes, I have noticed this too and also a general "dumbing down" of the content from an editorial point of view. The magazine is a far cry from its much more professional appearance and topical stories of a few years ago and is almost a caricature of its former self. Nigel Harris spends most...

    May 2021 Timetable Change

    Sadly Scunthorpe doesn't with the reduction to every two hours from Northern. Thankfully TPE go back to hourly.

    May 2021 Timetable Change

    The Doncaster to Scunthorpe service really has slumped to useless in recent years, especially now with the one towards Lincolnshire departing just minutes after the TPE. It's a token effort and as much as I would love to see the Northern service extend to Cleethorpes or Grimsby, it wouldn't be...
