    Byelaw 6.8 query

    I've been thinking about this byelaw; No person shall molest or wilfully interfere with the comfort or convenience of any person on the railway. I'm presuming a successful prosecution must have been secured using it since the Transport Act came into force and wondered where I would find...

    Cycles on London Midland.

    Mods: This isn't strictly about fares, so please move this post if necessary. I'm thinking of travelling Coventry-Tamworth via Nuneaton with my bike. I won't be travelling during a peak time, and LM don't seem to bother with reservations so I'm just going to turn up. Should I approach...

    Guardian article: Passenger failed to show railcard, opinons?

    Original link; https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/nov/13/lost-railcard-paid-more-ticket-no-refund?CMP=fb_gu I've ommitted the Guardians response which basically talked about conditions of carriage and didn't refer to byewlaws. Basically, the passenger concerned couldn't find their...

    Ticket split... But where?

    Pre-posting note: Since writing the post I've noticed that Virgin do an off peak fare (£27.40) which would suit me fine (as long as I can purchase at the station). In short, my question was, and remains, which station does 'splitticketing.com', split its ticket at to achieve an anytime price of...

    MK1/MK2 Ctarriages Crewe.

    I've noticed that some of the seemingly abandoned MK1 and MK2 carriages have been moved at Crewe Sidings (Some have now been removed over the last couple of weeks) and wondered what their fate was/is going to be? Some of them look as if a bit of refurbishment would make them ideal for heritage...

    Strange building near Crewe

    This thread may need moving, since the building I refer to is nothing to do with the railway... Today I noticed a building I'd never noticed before and was intrigued. I have no idea what it is and would appreciate it if anybody could enlighten as to what it is... I've trawled through Google...

    Glitching

    Well I saw the other thread about a glitch. (didn't want to go off topic on that thread so I started this one) I don't know what happened here: This is a US route, I also had floating catenary on the GWML. Note, I'm running it on a laptop (hence the low quality of the scenery) but I have no...

    I scrolled down to the bottom of the home page of the forums and discovered this: "© RailUK Forums 2005 - the year after 2012" Easter egg? Do I win a prize? :P

    The benefits of other countries Railways...

    What ideas/strategies/policies could we take from the other railway networks and implement here in the UK? I was thinking for example, Switzerland. Secondary question: Why don't all involved in the UK rail industry "Go compare other railways" in the first place. What's stopping them, is...

    Which sim next?

    Ok, I thought I would post this here so I get a fairly neutral answer. I have Trainz 2006. I was thinking, should I move to Trainz 2009 or onto Railworks 2.- Any others aren't a possibility. Trainz 2009 -My content can move with me -FCT would be valid in both installations (if/when...
