1) The bus would still run. I would also suggest that that is an extremely niche scenario and increasingly so. 2) The optics have changed, local government can no longer use Stagecoach to hide behind.

3/4/6 car EMU’s are much more fit for the purpose of soaking up any additional passengers, than already crowded 2 car DMU’s, with already slow end-to-end journey times. And most regular uses of the car park, will be using it to head to places with an existing direct train anyway.

Have you looked into the Intercity Night trains? I'm sure there would be at least a seat available... 1713985533 Alternatively, you might need a flight

Time and speed is critically important in this instance as the line to Stocksbridge is deteriorating as we speak, so the longer it takes, the harder it gets to do. Hence, why I believe that diesel trams sooner is better than batteries further down the line. I’m not against battery technology...

Pork is traditionally one of the cheaper meats…

It’s an option, but personally I’d not go for those due to the gradient of the line to Stocksbridge, sharing lines with heavy rail services and the fact that the Barrow Hill Line is an existing railway line so charging at tram stops may not be suitable as that could block the line for longer and...

Diesel is proven technology, available straight off the shelf, doesn’t need recharging and would be significantly cheaper and quicker to get into operation than electrification. Electrification could follow at a later date if the initial service is successful.

Barrow Hill-Stocksbridge is more likely to come back under Supertram with diesel tram trains and is confirmed as under consideration. Beyond that, a Rotherham mainline station is a possibility and the only other thing that would be any use would be re-modelling Sheffield Midland and the...

Middlesbrough 3 Leeds 4. A chaotic game, but the LUFC rollercoaster continues; Leeds into 2nd place in the league. I'm questioning Farke's tactical approach to this game, and do find him a bit concerning at the moment, which is not how you want to be feel with at least 2 big games left to play.

The LSL 37-set is returning to Crewe tomorrow: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U11109/2024-04-23/detailed

To be fair, that level of misunderstanding, is probably consistent with the type of person who thinks they can make several hundred delay repay claims, without recourse…

Ironically, that new livery looks a bit Virgin.

Not quite worth its own thread: In January, I'm travelling long haul with Virgin Atlantic for the first time since 2015 (747 return to Vegas :( ). One way we are current assigned a Dreamliner, the other an A330-900 Neo, both of which are new aircraft types for me, can anyone comment on what...

You know that’s going to end in a fudge of ‘quieter coaches.’ BTP should actually travel on a few trains, enforce the existing byelaws and a few fines appearing in the news might make people think about their behaviour and get the message out there. Currently, BTP are not taken seriously as a...

If you had a quiet word with staff at the time, I suspect they would have upgraded you to First Class on the spot if there was room. While it’s frustrating, there’s not much they can do after the event.

It also did the positioning moves for the 37/4 tour of Scotland the month before, it’s a little prolific this year.

It is my understanding that this line on the East Coast of Florida runs with a mixture of locomotives. Some are new build Brookville BL36PH locomotives and a minority are older but rebuilt PPLX M-K F40PHM-3C locomotives that look like more traditional old US locomotives. My question is thus; on...

I did an Aer Lingus A321 to New York from Manchester and it was fine, but I wouldn’t want to go much further on such an aircraft. I guess like most seats, it probably does depend on your size/shape as a person.

That would be nice!
