Maybe not that uncommon in practice.

Well compare them with the line(s) on the Santa Cruz system in Tenerife. The main streets up through the city are similar to those in many UK cities and using a couple of single track sections, quite a frequent service is run. It's only in the upper reaches near La Laguna centre that much wider...

'Up to 5 means 1 - 5 in every situation that I've ever heard it, still - maybe your communications with others have been limited to the few that think 'up to 5' means stop at 4.

I don't know (which is why I asked), but there may be some evidence of it within the industry, otherwise why has nothing been done about it for however Senior Railcards have been in existance.

Is there evidence of significant Senior physical Railcard fraud, compared with other younger railcard groups?

Whether we think it is a good idea or not for the recipient countries of our emigres is irrelevant, - the EU on the behalf of member states made it the law in the interests of all member countries. I think that you will find that there were more UK citizens settling in the rest of the EU that...

Why is it not good for the UK to allow senior citizens the right to retire (and die) in locations like the sunny costas where the climate is better for their health. It costed the UK no more in pensions yet their demands on the NHS were virtually zero.

Yes, that would render them liable for military logistics decisions, - and blame if their interference causes any unintended consequences. Presumably the equipment is categorised as deployed in a NATO location in Poland.

A contactless card is and as a ticket format is every bit as 'convenient' to a technology driven railway as a smartphone.

My point still stands; to reiterate, I doubt that possession of a smartphone will ever become a condition of using public transport. Just because they are used by an ever increasing population, it must still be possible to travel on essential journeys using public transport without an electronic...

ISIRTA was great, by todays standards, quite non-pc, but a it was in some ways a parent of Python and The Goodies. I was too young when the Goons was in its heyday but Beyond Our Ken and Round The Horne was very much my kind of humour, (still is). In the '50s it was more Ray's A Laugh, Take It...

Maybe the moonlight and the girl. ;)

Or Dickie Valentine singing the signature tune to the 'drive time' programme Roundabout (yes, Roundabout was the first drive time programme started in the UK in 1958, from 17:30 to 18:45 on the BBC Light Programme).

Your words above like: "what are the real reasons for the delays?", "Are they dragging their feet ..." etc. don't help. I doubt you will get an answer to a question framed the way you have. Even if Hitachi management were here, they'll not consider social media as a suitable platform, even just...

I doubt that senior railcard travel will ever mandate possession of a smartphone.
