    Possible Movement in RMT Dispute.

    Whilst obviously not wanting to start the usual massive long debate about the pros and cons of having a dispute and going on strike, I thought it worthy of mentioning that there seems to be some movement in the RMT dispute.

    Late notice - Diesel and Ale Trail event at the KWVR

    Ignore the name of the link - it's actually a "Diesel and Ale Trail"!! Sorry for the late notice, but it seems Saturday 10th June is going to be a bit of an EE (and real ale) feast at the KWVR. The rather oddly named "Steam and Ale Trail" is, on Saturday 10th June at least, more of a "Diesel...

    I see why many people try and get away without paying the correct fare.

    There is often much quoted about "the nasty ticket man" and people being caught out, but I can see why people try and do it. 2 weeks ago I travelled one Saturday afternoon from Keighley to Ribblehead. The Guard came down checking tickets after Keighley, but only asked if people wanted to buy...
