I think the vital thing going forward is to be squeaky clean from now on. The OP is on the radar.

Just the same as petrol cars, lots and lots factors affect fuel usage. It's just you notice more with EVs. But driving style, traffic conditions, amount of electrical equipment running, weather and temperature 1715094085 You really don't have a clue do you? Did you get your "facts" from the...

There are more EV charging points than petrol stations. Exactly how much infrastructure do you want in place? Current lead times on new EVs are around 2 years, so i'm not sure where all this stock on forecourts is? Very, very few EV batteries have been replaced. Indeed so few that Nissan don't...

Anyone who thinks all the problems will disappear when Labour come to power will be very disappointed indeed.

I'd wholeheartedly agree with everything @Haywain has said.

I would say there are more level crossings with no pedestrian access than with. Alsager was very bad at one time when the barriers would lower every hour for the Crewe-Derby, stay down for the London-Crewe and still stay down for the Crewe-London. They solved the problem by removing the trains.

What I find irritating is when a train is cancelled at the last minute due to staff shortages (looking at you LNWR) surely they knew before it's departure time there were no staff? Particularly as it happens on a regular basis. Were they just hoping someone would drop in?

I'd agree with Brissie Girl. It's far too long. I'd lose "first off" and just start at "I would" I'd drop the waffle about being a loyal customer, if you were truly loyal you have paid the full fare, so it comes across as insincere. I'd completely lose the next paragraph & condense the next one...

I've had members of staff fail the attitude test, so I see no issue in being unhelpful back.

Numbers without any directional arrows always refer to the platform you are on. That applies to every UK station. The Network Rail station map does show 13 & 14 with an arrow between platforms 11 & 12. The main departure boards are on the main concourse.

Ah! That makes more sense, I see now. Thank you. Although surely even the most youthful 40 year old won't pass even a casual glance as being 16-17, thus highlighting it's a fake railcard?

What am I missing? Why does it matter if someone buys a railcard using false details? I don't recall ever being asked for photo ID when buying a railcard. As long as the photo is the person using the railcard what does it matter?

In short, no. But, I've known this happen to people and if the error is uncorrected then that's the name and DOB used on any conviction. Thus a DBS check in the correct name & DOB is clear! I would not, however, either recommend or rely on this!! But, as I assume you meant can you get off on...

This is probably why it's taken more than 21 days! They normal uphold a more spurious reason instead.

They are saying the primary purpose must be to visit the premises and view the work...not travel on the trains. Whilst we all know people will travel on the trains, it's an important distinction that that's not the primary purpose of the visit! It's also interesting to note that the voucher...

That's definitely not gift aid then. You're not allowed to get anything for your donation, be it a product or service. So if it's a donation fare you're getting a train ride for your donation. That's not permitted under gift aid

You must be donating something to the charity. If you "donate" £1 (the extra above the train fare) then get given £1 back, you've not donated £1! There might, if you've got a good lawyer, be an argument saying the £1 voucher isn't £1, but I think most people see a £1 voucher as £1.

Why can't it run 6 minutes earlier pre-Crewe?

It's what Britain's railways call excellent customer service.

I'm pretty certain the voucher isn't legal and any HMRC inspectors reading this are probably launching an investigation as we speak! The benefit can only be worth a maximum of 25% of the donation, so getting the full price of the donation back in vouchers is, obviously 100% A 12 month membership...
