Slightly concerning the speed at which they denied it only to then be proven wrong... Wonder why they jumped to conclusions?

Munich ZOB I quite like, and the updated Hard Interchange in Portsmouth is nice - much better than the poor excuse it used to be.

Doncaster (IIRC), a huge space wasted, and always dark and gloomy! Paris Gallieni was poor too if my memory is holding up

Oddly, the Worthing one has just been downsized in the way that you're talking about Bournemouth. Upstairs being closed and converted to flats, and then part of the large ground floor has been turned into smaller standalone shops and rented out. Clearly hasn't worked here as it's still closing ‍♂️

Having a young child (1yr) I will often leave her in the pushchair, if for no other reason than the fact there's so much stuff to carry (as well and her and the pushchair) if, for example, we're going away for a weekend. Obviously if we end up in a wheelchair space, I would instantly move to get...

Surely with trying to increase capacity all the time on the SWR network these must only be being thought of as a stop gap? Longer dwell times and passenger difficulty really isn't going to help, especially in the peaks. I'd love to know how these pass the step-up test and pass PRM when other...

Almost went on one today, had been looking forward to experiencing the Forums' "Solution to All Our Problems" class :D:lol:. But the step-up and narrow doors really put me off. I had my daughter in her pushchair, and honestly didn't want to risk it. I know that staff could've helped, but I don't...

I'd like to put forward the southern Brighton-Ore service, suggesting doors always open on the left side of the train - in the direction of travel. As it reverses at Eastbourne, it's not technically the same "side" of the train itself, but is the same side in the direction of travel... Failing...

I was on this too, and didn't quite understand why we could get off when I thought that there was H&S issues with the station.

Thanks all, at least if it's possible I can ask and not feel like an idiot doing so. Hopefully all should be well if it's as easy as you say Robk23oxf

So, with the railways we can ticket split, but I wondered if anyone knows whether the same can be done for buses? I have a Stagecoach Worthing Area ticket, and as this runs to the outskirts of Shoreham, I was wondering whether I'd be allowed to use this to it's limit, then purchase a return...

Both. Have had many an argument with other Torys, and then also by people I know/who know me that aren't Tory. This seems to be the answer for a lot of people. Gotta be a reason Lib Dem membership is at an all time high. Then again, LD has always been the "protest vote" party of choice for...

Who needs to jump barriers when they're just open? Jump on at High Brooms, no barriers, no one checks your ticket on the train, jump off at Bridge and the barriers are open - free transport to your Friday/Saturday night on the town in the big city...

Flip side of the coin, I'm considered by many as "too left wing" to be Tory, despite being a member and supporting a lot of their policies, because I believe in the NHS and the benefits system (no, I know it's not perfect, but it's necessary) etc. Would be nice for there to be a better central...

It's not just the inner-London services. On a lot of the lines in Kent people just don't travel with tickets. They know which stations are gated and when, and avoid as they see fit. The guards seem to stay away - which I can understand, as a passenger I don't feel safe a lot of the time, and...
