    Luton Airport Express - Misleading Ads?

    Hasnt 'Luton Airport' been a destination for quite some time though? Im sure ive used it once when we flew from there before. May have had to take a bus to the aiport though

    Stansted Airport fines

    This is seemingly getting a bit silly now - Im guessing the vast majority of people going through stanstead will be predominantly British given its a low cost airline hub so you are talking a bout a small minority and yes plenty of other places uses the term 'contactless' you only have to have a...

    First Class meal cost to produce

    It doesnt need to take that long to restock as you wouldnt need a full restock of everything on board and with using a real time inventory monitoring system you could easily say, on a Euston to Scotland run, have a restock of any items ready to go in a module at Preston plus say 5% more just in...

    Expired Railcards

    That still wont stop you from buying tickets for after your railcard has expired though. After reading the stories on here over time me and the good wife now have a reminder in both our calenders on phones and work diaries to renew our family one.

    GWR train - Not Valid Railcard by 3 minutes.

    Maybe not by Carmarthen however when you look further on in its journey theres some activity around Acton with some freight paths there which counteracts your claim https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:ACTONW/2023-06-30/1303

    E-scooter & hoverboard ban on GTR

    This was on the BBC website today showing an E Scooter going up in flames whilst charging https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-65629502 that's in a home - imagine that on a train - would be horrific

    Northern ask travellers not to view adult content on trains

    I like your posts as you seem very informative - especially in the fares forum however i think your ire towards northern for this is way off the mark. This is becoming a massive problem in society( i deal with some of these people in my line of work) and with young people nowadays watching this...

    Blackpool North customer service improved or same ?

    I dont believe for a minute its to do with fast turnarounds as why do the Manchester and York trains suffer from the same problems? @OP nothing really has changed much - you may be lucky and get them open 10 minutes before departure but last week on wed or thursday it was 3 mins till departure...

    Blackpool - Euston services

    Shame that mind. Theres every need thanks - more so because they were going to have a brand new service start from there ( granted probably for the Preston southwards people but if they have a regular service it would take some of the cars off the road which plague the town centre in the off...

    Blackpool - Euston services

    Hi all with the demise of the Grand Central plans for the above service is there anything on the horizon to replace them? Are Avanti West Coast going to be offering anymore does anyone know?

    When will excessive announcements cease?

    This as well as a few other posts are rather offensive. I have service users who appreciate the safety warnings as they are nervous about public transport - are they not allowed to have audible warnings about what to do on a train just because some others are sick and tired of them? So much for...

    Plain-clothes revenue protection bods - is this still happening?

    Thats relatively new though isnt it ? And they would probably need a ticket of some sort to get to here

    Email from Trainline asking about suspicious activity

    Forgive me as i only read this forum but never reply , however, it seems from trainline theres at least one instance where they were booking then cancelling for stops along a route on the same train That to me suggests they have all the evidence they need to proceed as that is not normal...

    Elizabeth line: Commuters say service 'not what was promised'

    Forgive me here, but isn't the railway there for both freight and passengers and doesn't taking this freight by rail ensure that there are not loads of lorries carrying it clogging up the roads? do they pay the same track charges

    Open Stations

    Its very well used as the buses stop at the top of the ramp - though if it was strong enough and the tram project ever gets off the ground it would be good to have it terminate there - as an aside the tram certainly needs to link the station to the bus station if it ever goes ahead
