Quite a few routes here in East Yorkshire land have new Sunday services where none existed thanks to BSIP…. 55 corridor between Hull and Goole 361 Goole to Scunthorpe 747 Pocklington to York 136 Driffield to Bridlington 504 Bridlington to Bempton. Almost none of the villages on these routes...

And probably a million miles away from most traditional working class Labour voters who do see high immigration as a problem, aren’t rabidly obsessed with Israel and reject many aspects of identity politics.

Well that’s a real shock! Now the elections are out of the way, and the need to sell the public a fairytale is over, the backtracking can begin. This of course may actually be genuine, but I don’t trust any politicians on any level.

Erm, it is correct! As others have said, if the journey starts in Kent their rules apply - it doesn’t matter who issued the pass. It seems the person in question was a ‘know it all’ who actually didn’t, and stumping up £2 (hardly a fortune) was a step too far. Councils of course can fund usage...

Medway Council’s website is quite clear that passes they issue are only valid until 11pm in Kent. https://www.medway.gov.uk/info/200161/travel/471/apply_for_a_concessionary_bus_pass/3#:~:text=terms and conditions-,When you can use a bus pass,Nu-Venture and Redroute buses

Fully agree with comments about Brighton. My last few visits there have been completely underwhelming. Eastbourne is much more pleasant. I don’t like places when they get so busy that the charm that attracted you there is completely ruined. Whitby in the summer, for example, is a nightmare...

Not a chance. A referendum is a very blunt tool to deal with often very nuanced issues. You’d have two main issues in this case. Firstly, I’d expect a very low turnout as most people (especially those in unaffected parts of the country) simply won’t care, they will have no reason to go out and...

Spring Bank West in Hull is a busy dual carriageway - the last vehicle count was in 2009 (the figure will likely be much higher now) and that showed an average of 20,000 vehicles passed over the crossing per day. https://roadtraffic.dft.gov.uk/manualcountpoints/931304 Edit - missed the part...

So don’t buy one then. If you’re not able to use the e-ticket, buy a paper ticket from somewhere that will sell you one.

Any member (plus associates) of the Eurovision Broadcasting Union can participate - hence Israel, Azerbaijan, Australia etc. even Morocco entered, but only once. The disconnect between the vocal minority of protesters and the hefty public vote for Israel was stark. Israel got almost twice as...

There are plenty of pensioners that sit between those eligible for pension credit and millionaires! I see no reason why their pass should not be replaced with a half fare pass or have an annual charge of day £100 for free rides. I’ve seen plenty of luxury cars pull up at York P&R and their...

I bet nobody at Northern has ever thought of that - good job you’re here!

Surely the most sensible solution would be to means test the bus pass - if ‘free’ tv licence’s can be linked to pension credit eligibility, I see no reason why free bus passes can’t. Other pensioners would then revert back to the half fare bus pass. Potentially politically challenging in the...

Back in the day(I’ve seen an NBC era timetable) the Hull - Pocklington -York route used to carry on to Leeds. Of course, until a few years ago, the 121 Hull - Bridlington ran through to Filey and Scarborough before the route was split at Brid and the 12 introduced. Also, until very recently, the...

Hull Trains always have first class at the London end. Very rare to see a reverse formation.

People have certainly lost the ability to both debate and disagree with each other respectfully. Using terms of abuse or disrespectful language to describe your opponents is a particular trait of the ‘kind’ far-left.

I see you’ve ignored everything I actually wrote. To answer your question, yes I have been on a train. I’ve stood nose to armpit on a sprinter to Matlock. I’ve also seen that many times more people use motor vehicles to get there, and the buses are well patronised too. I’m not the one who is...

There’s no danger of this - John Prescott has retired.

The bus already provides a much more comprehensive service than a reopened railway would, and the overwhelming majority still choose cars. There’s also the likelihood that most visitors to places like Bakewell will also visit somewhere else in the area, like Chatsworth, making a rail based visit...

To be fair, I’m not opposed to PR per se. Of course, you make an excellent point regarding the maturity that would be needed from politicians, and that is in very short supply in our system. To be fair to both parties, at least the 2010 coalition did last a full term. The whole UK system is...
