Indeed. But in the situation you suggest where a passenger with a valid ticket has been unable to speak to staff either in person or via a help point, then somebody has failed to do the right thing in leaving the gates closed. I was suggesting that trapping people behind a closed gateline with...

If we're changing the bylaws to fix the problem, why wouldn't you fix the underlying problem rather than putting the innocent ticket holding customer in that position? Make it a byelaw requirement that barriers must be staffed at all times. If the gateline is closed and with no visible staff...

I think your issue is that via Sheffield isn't a valid route for Penistone to Doncaster, according to NRE at least.

That sounds plausible, if the OLE issues have caused the set to take a diversion route on an earlier journey which has caused it to be turned?

I think the issue is that the roof needs considerable work (it leaks and WYCA have recent experience of fixing Leeds which is a similar design). The design is said to also facilitate anti social behaviour and vandalism. I Imagine that Arriva have little incentive to do anything about it with...

Huddersfield has a Red Star Parcels Office sign next to what I believe is now the fire exit from the booking office, near the bottom of the ramp into the main entrance. Not sure if this counts as a station, but the main street in Sowerby Bridge has this sign directing to the station with the...

Would these originally have been emptied by the staff on the TPOs etc?

This is a good point- could the capability be added to a proportion of production units/locos to record as they go about their daily work rather than using dedicated trains?

I assume that is just for the launch event, rather than creating a big maintenance job if she doesn't get re-elected?

Although quite nice that they have recently started using it as Metro. not METRO like the old WY rose logo had it.

Point of order: Universities are generally considered to be public sector. They are subject to Freedom of Information requests, for example.

Surely they have data on ticketless travel from conductor on board sales, gatelines and RPI activity?

Especially as Northern and TPE are essentially sister companies these days, so the revenue ultimately ends up in the same place.

A Sunday when most of their core route is closed due to Engineering so they can't use those resources. If it was a regular arrangement you might have a point, but this seems like a pragmatic solution that is in everyone's interest. I assume there will be leniency around TOC specific tickets...

Not condoning any abuse, but I have noticed a correlation between companies which put out notices about respecting the staff and those where I don't feel particularly respected as a customer.

Ah - I think you may be under a common misconception of what legal tender means. It means that it is acceptable by courts to settle a debt. What businesses choose to accept is their own choice.

Or that introducing such switching added an extra point of failure that had a bigger probability of causing disruption than losing the grid feed.

Where flights have diverted within the UK and passengers are being put on coaches, I wonder if they are arranging drop offs at somewhere useful in additional to the airport, given the disruption to onward travel? I had a flight diverted to Liverpool from Leeds Bradford and was disappointed that...

Seems strange that Greater Manchester hasn't been included in this, given that it borders West and South Yorkshire and has a Labour Mayor with similar interests in publicly owned transport.
