https://committees.parliament.uk/event/20663 There's a link to watch online, and instructions on how to attend in person, on that web page.

I had some thoughts related to this (invalid) excuse for the evident failure of GWR to provide an adequate train service, which followed on from the “declassify first class when crowded?” thread at...

moderator note, split from this thread: Strange wiring on an Azuma 801 228 | RailUK Forums (railforums.co.uk) in my experience it's impossible to use my iPhone if it's plugged into a charger on one of these, some sort of EM interference makes the touch screen completely glitchy and unusable …...

It seems that both GWR and Chiltern have switched away from the “mixing deck” (my preferred ticket purchase user interface), which used to be quite common, to a different one. I had a quick look at LNWR, and at Southern, and they too are using something else. I finally found that TransPennine...
