Of course none of this would be much of a problem if we weren't saddled with hugely space inefficient 4/5 car toy trains 20 years ago. Sigh.

Adwy is right. We have a 746 phone hooked up to Digital Voice via the home hub and it receives calls fine.

Thank you. I did see mention of this ticket but thought it had been withdrawn as it didn't seem to be given as an option on the ScotRail website. I shall delve deeper. EDIT: I see there is an option in small text that allows you to compare all ticket types. Found it there.

I'm travelling to Oban in the summer and keen to travel on a 153 with their more comfortable seating (in my opinion at least). Is the only way to reserve a seat in this coach to also reserve a cycle space at the same time? It seems a shame to take away availability for someone with a bike when I...

I don't think it's even to do with cost. Warm colour temperatures don't cost anymore these days. Just some bean counter belief that creating a surgery like atmosphere promotes "safety" (the god of the modern world).

A distinction needs to be made when comparing TSW4 & TSC. If you're comparing with a vanilla TSC with no third party additions, TSW is far better. If you are happy to spend a bit of wonga on third party additions for TSC, in my opinion at least, it is far superior in variety, graphical quality...

Which really is a poor show. An hour is more than enough time to do it.

Truly in awe of this armchair-ity. Do people have no limit?

Do what I do and simply stop reading it. You'll feel far better and be no less informed.

I find peoples' faith in Louise Haigh rather naive. I'm sure she'll be just as incompetent as the current lot. Then in 5/10/15 years time when the railways are still rubbish and the Tories are due to take Labour's place again for the latest merry go round of mediocrity, we will no doubt have...

Very odd choice and a backward step. Especially for something like a heritage railway which is going to attract a disproportionate amount of older people who are more likely to use cash. They aren't a hipster cafe in Shoreditch...!

The MML timetable has been useless ever since Dec 2008 when they removed the intermittent Luton/Bedford stops from Sheffield services. The requirement to change twice for Nottingham or thrice for Sheffield if travelling from a Home Counties station makes it a very unappealing prospect. Going...

I've always found it odd how signalman, or any term with man as a suffix, is not seen as gender neutral. We are all mankind and woman has man as a suffix. It was just the very start of the backward DEI ideology which is so prevelant now.

I think this is what is called a luxury belief if you have been fortunate enough not to have bombs rained down upon you in the middle of the night. Xenophobia is the least of your worries when you face death and destruction on a nightly basis. Yes, it may not be logically correct to display hate...

Is that what transport strategy has come to? Deary me. People really need to leave politics where it belongs.
