I was a student in Bristol and lived just around the corner from the Clifton Down station. Can't remember ever paying... What's the Statute of Limitations on unpaid tickets?

Lord Adonis is more optomistic:"HS2 will happen.. just 30 years later than it would have been" https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/business-travel/hs2-will-go-to-manchester-despite-pm-cancelling-line-beyond-birmingham

Go back a few decades and whoever could have guessed that Kings Cross and St Pancras would ever be held up as an example of good station design! Back in the 90s, Waterloo was probably in the best condition of any of the mainline terminus stations but it has been caught up and overtaken by others...

The Sidings never really recovered from Time Out pulling out of their plan to open one of their markets there. I can only imagine that the rents must be very high.

No official status as far as I am aware of. Just something that Rail Future has been campaigning for. I believe the the recent works to the east side of the station for the Thameslink lines left passive provision for a eastern entrance.

Inside the station isn't too bad but the areas outside could do with smartening up as it's all very scruffy. I don't think it needs a huge amount spent on it compared to other stations in London more of a refresh. The Hole in the Wall is an institution - I've been drinking in there for over 30...

There is supposed to be a southern footbridge as part of the plans for an eventual eastern entrance to the station on Clifton Rd if is ever built. It would also relieve the overcrowding around the main entrance.

Half an hour is good. Often a lot longer. Sometimes takes over 30 mins just to get out of the carpark.

Certainly not going to happen when the Council can charge people over £30 a day to park there and there are no other alternatives for getting home if you are going to be at an event until 11pm. To be fair, parking is free after 6pm but that just encourages more people do drive in

Absolutely. You need a good alternative before people will get out of their cars. When I go to the "Other Place", I find Oxford's P&R and bus network to be much better than in Cambridge.

I'd certainly make Regent St bus/taxi only from the junction with Gonville Pl. This would allow the pavements to be widened as they often get very overcrowded. Perhaps close most of Trumpington St too. Shutting down the Grand Arcade car park would be a start as it attracts a lot of cars into...

It's not just Freiburg but there are many similar sized European cities with well developed public transport systems which Cambridge could learn from rather than trying to be so innovative. Just buy something off the shelf which needs as little modification as possible. A sub-surface central...

I would have been happy with Overground 1 Overground 2 Overground 3 Overground 4 Overground 5 Overground 6

But increases in other costs due to inflation over the delay period will surely be more.

Build an expensive and time consuming upgrade and you are only disturbing those already along the route. Build a new cheaper rail or road alignment and you upset a whole new bunch of people.

Starmer has always been lukewarm about HS2 at best as it's a tricky political issue for him with Euston being in his constituency. However, if we really want a good quality "Network North", "Northern Powerhouse Rail" or whatever it is called this week then the line between Birmingham and...

Yes, hopefully that is the long term plan. Amazing what you can do with a bit of political spin and branding HS2 Brum-Manchester = Bad Tory Plan NPR Brum-Manchester = Good Labour Plan

When we have visitors to our office the CSP they still mostly use a taxi to/from the station. The public transport links between Cambridge North and the Science Park (and St John's Innovation Centre) need to be improved. There are two guided bus stops but both are on the South/Western side of...

Very impressed with a recent claim on Greater Anglia. The final leg of a return trip was cancelled due to flooding so I had to take a taxi home for £20. I put in a claim expecting it to be rejected but got full repayment of the ticket (£45) within a few days.

Not convinced by the need for a new "London" airport as anywhere with enough land is going to be too far from population centres (needed to supply staff) and would need a lot of new infrastructure building to connect to London and the rest of the country. Kent is also on the wrong side of London...
