    Bus Manufacturer News & Discussion

    I hope that is the case, but given the current mayor is of a different political persuasion to the one that ordered them, there may be a desire to get rid of them as soon as possible. Or maybe the cost of doing so is outwith even TfL's budget.

    Stagecoach orders 402 electric buses from Alexander Dennis and Yutong

    I onder why they have gone for so many Yutongs? I can't imagine that they have forsaken ADL 200s on the basis of reliability since the ADL 200s are untried. So it must be on price (is there any diference in price between Yutongs and ADL? We heard there was a price difference between ADL400s...

    WM Trains Railcard Investigations - Digital Fraud Team

    Are these railcards only valid for attending job interviews or visits to the Job Centre? If so, do you need to inform the Job Centre of interviews attended, and would the Job Centre be compelled to disclose such information to the investigators? If the card was used outwith the conditions...

    Bus Manufacturer News & Discussion

    I read somewhere (sorry, can't remember where) that the issue with repowering any other vehicles (both Wright and other makes) was the cost of the initial templating for each model. If there was sufficient demand for a particular model, then they could do it.

    Got a letter for "intention to prosecute" while unable to provide the railcard

    That's good news - thanks for letting us know.

    Second Northern penalty fine

    I don't think it would make any difference. They saw you had bought a ticket on the train, and you mentioned it in your response. I don't think there is any doubt you had a ticket, just that you had bought it after boarding.

    Second Northern penalty fine

    If it is a closed episode i.e. you have paid the penalty fare, then I would ignore it. You don't need to incriminate yourself unless they are asking specific questions, in which case you should not lie.

    Inspector didn’t ask for address, but email address

    Royal Mail send a letter of confirmation of changes to both the old and new address; I can't recall if the letter to the old address quotes the new one.

    Second Northern penalty fine

    I don't think that including it would add anything to your story. I agree you should keep it simple.

    Second Northern penalty fine

    I'm not sure I follow the bit I've highlighted: Do you mean the previous train had been delayed so you were there in time to catch it, but did not have time to buy a ticket for it, otherise you would have had to let it go? Or as it that the app would not let you select the delayed train since...

    How do I use Seatfrog with Priv?

    I've never used Seatfrog, but there is this entry on Roger French's blog https://busandtrainuser.com/2024/05/30/seen-around-22/#more-60423 about how to win bids at the lowest price:

    Start and end of service: Running empty or in service to and from depot

    I wonder if they ever carried any real passengers (as opposed to staff on transfer duties)? I wouldn't fancy doing the whole journey on a Bristol RE if I recall correctly.

    Compulsory Ticket Areas

    If no-one has the information, how can CTAs be enforced, and if someone has been charged with not having a ticket in a CTA, is there any way this can be upheld if no-one knows if that station is inside or outside a CTA?

    Conservative Party after the election

    Having a large majority also causes its own problems. All MPs in the government would like a position in that government as ministers, junior ministers, PPSs etc. If there are say 100 such positions, there will be say 300 other MPs disappointed at losing out, and therefore likely to cause...

    London Buses Discussion

    LOTS reports the following tender awards (http://www.lots.org.uk/) One thing that stands out is that those routes currently operated by electric vehicles are retained by the current contractor, presumably because some of the costs of these buses has already been absorbed, whereas a new...
