    Rail nationalisation: ideas, suggestions, predictions etc

    I think they will rely on the fact that a lot of people don’t know how to get the cheapest tickets How often do you see a tweet from a celeb or some sort of influencer going viral because they’ve allegedly paid more to travel from London to Manchester than what Ryanair charges to fly to...

    Rail nationalisation: ideas, suggestions, predictions etc

    Slightly worried that simplifying tickets could actually mean tickets are more expensive, especially for those of us, I imagine that includes many here, who play the system. Take Leeds to York, you can get Northern only singles, TPE only, any permitted, and no doubt various advances as well...

    First West Yorkshire & York discussion

    If the worst came to the worst, could First York stop serving Leeman Road altogether? The council could then get Reliance to serve it in both directions, by maybe one of their services running round their loop in the opposite direction

    No, they haven’t removed Team Pennine, they never added it, ever, in the multiple summer and winter versions of the map they’ve done since it was acquired, both during and after Alex Hornby’s time As others have suggested, the lack of interurban services linking towns to other towns, that are...

    You’d be the first to complain if they did a map suggesting the 343 is the best way to travel from Halifax to Huddersfield

    Bee Network Service Improvements (Existing services)

    In this new world who is responsible for the timetables and hence the schedules and rotas behind them, is it TfGM or the operators?

    Bee Network Service Improvements (Existing services)

    It’s going to be very hard to keep up with service changes if they are going to continue doing it this way Just appearing on the bus alerts page for a few weeks and then disappearing with no record

    Edinburgh Tour Operators: Bright Bus, Lothian (Majestic, Three Bridges) etc.

    When a street seller explains the tours to a tourist it’s complicated enough - three tours, 24 hour tickets, 48 hours, tickets that give you entry to the castle etc etc. the boat tour was rarely mentioned as that just introduced even more complexity

    They never added Team Pennine to that map, besides the 502 Probably as Huddersfield to Derby Dale floating separately with no link to anything else would look a bit strange The Lancashire one probably needs revising to remove the Rochdale and Bury services

    Considering the temporary stops are a few feet away from the bus station, I hardly think there will be mass confusion Seems to be criticism for the sake of it, as per.

    Why is it a pretty poor map?

    South Pennine Community Transport

    There is a better photo of the damage on this page https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/490546-sheffields-new-free-electric-city-centre-buses-sheffield-connect/page/17/#comments Leaving buses unattended in the bus station overnight seems to be asking for trouble, even from just normal...

    TfGM Bee Network - fleet discussion

    I think that is exactly the explanation. These buses currently allocated to Stockport seem to be new arrivals

    South Pennine Community Transport

    After these brand new vehicles having only been in service a week, two have been broken into with one of them having been stolen and driven into other vehicles and is therefore badly damaged The source of this info is this tweet, which is only in image form but basically says what I’ve just...

    West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin promises "spades in ground" for tram network by 2028 if reelected

    Unlike her current term in office, it’s unlikely she’ll just be able to blame those bad old Tories in London for not giving her the money. Maybe she only wants two terms as mayor anyway
