    LT Museum, Covent Garden

    It does make it alright when comparing apples with apples. Not sure what point you are actually trying to make when its been pointed out to you repeatedly that the cost is similar to other attractions in the London area and its been a yearly ticket for over a decade.

    LT Museum, Covent Garden

    Was there a couple of months ago - was ripped off even though its free entry. An absolute waste of time and an insult to the previous museums at the Kelvin Hall and Tramway. Anyway on topic - charging a year ticket is very common across the country. I went to the Eden Project and they give you...

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    Why are LU staff going on strike over pay when they've only just had a pay rise?

    Will the DLR and Overground be on those days? - I'm in London on the 4th.

    Scotrail to remove Peak Fares - six month pilot

    Just announced by the new First Minister in Parliament - there will be a 6 month pilot of no peak fares on Scotrail trains from October. Interesting.

    Glasgow Subway new stock

    Just a hint of St Enoch rail station in the background at the start - typical Blue Peter lies ( ;) ) with the arrival and departure at Buchanan Street at around 3:20 when they come in the station on one circle but the passengers getting off are on the other circle. Interesting to see that when...

    Taking bicycle on peak time Scotrail service

    Technically its more than one seat. The biggest issue I see with bikes on the network is the services where the staff will just let them on anywhere rather than the allotted spaces. Some good staff out there who will insist on the bikes being in the correct space in the correct carriage but...

    Should lone passengers leave empty seat pairs free for groups?

    What a vile attitude to have.

    Jobs and Careers in the Bus & Coach Industry

    My S1 Jobs daily email today contains the position of "Depot Engineering Manger" for McGills. https://www.s1jobs.com/job/depot-engineering-manager-94958865 The header says based in Larbert but the info in the position details says Livingston - either way, no idea why its popped into my email...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Passing through Stirling on Thursday and being stopped on the platform it looked like there was a "For Sale" sign up on the Sleeper lounge - is it on the way out? edit - although I'm not sure how many people will see it if its inside the station rather than outside.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    If it is headed to Oban - splitting from/ joining the FW service at Crianlarich or seperate all the way to/from Edinburgh? Like the idea of having a sleeper service to/from Wick it sounds like a nice idea but I certainly wonder what the actual financial reality would be.

    Serco Caledonian Sleeper contract will NOT be extended

    4 nights at the end of this month in London for around £40 a night (including a Saturday) - you really need to look more widely if you are paying £100+

    Serco Caledonian Sleeper contract will NOT be extended

    Just waiting on someone mentioning starting the Inverness portion from Wick :D :D Currently the sleeper may be a viable option to get to your destination at a reasonable time of day but cost wise it just isn't worth it. I've gone from being a regular user in the 2000s and early 2010s to not...

    ScotRail slashing all off-peak fares by 50% in May

    As they could only be used off peak - the more accurate number would be what percentage of off peak travels is that 1%?

    All railway ticket offices in England to close?

    Scotrail floated the same idea a few months ago, following their consultation they are not closing all of the ticket offices - 3 will permanently shut but the rest are staying open for now. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-welcomes-ticket-office-feedback-public edit -...

    Ongoing ScotRail disruption - Day to day discussion and updates.

    Which I think is pretty much what it has been for the last month of Sundays, there isn't an amended Sunday timetable yet so the cancellations are still based around the May-October timetable

    Scotrail RMT strike action and possible temporary service cuts to a third of services

    At a guess you aren't actually living in Scotland if you think an Uber is in anyway a replacement for the commute.

    Scotrail RMT strike action and possible temporary service cuts to a third of services

    Unless there is a major breakthrough between Scotrail and the drivers (or the Government step in) then this timetable will be indefinite.

    Scotrail RMT strike action and possible temporary service cuts to a third of services

    Looks like Queen Street - Edinburgh via Cumbernauld is gone. Services back to terminating at Falkirk.
