No, unless they really radicalise train travel and/or change rules on starting and/or finishing short and/or disallow a break of journey on route. 1714088742 I work in Greater London but can't vote for the mayor and I'm sure I'm far from alone. 1714088911 Indeed you do when they have promos...

But will those go? I suspect not but may be you want to see them go, given this is the speculation thread. If nationalisation does happen, I would like more service figures released for individual routes, to justify why some services have not returned. For example, only one fast train hour...

Great news and thanks for sharing it.

Fascinating. I must have forgotten that post from Septemeber 2023.

What led to O2 having good coverage in the tunnels? It comes across as unusual for them to have good coverage. In Surbtion, where I am from time to time the coverage is poor to non-esitsnt and that isn't just on the railway but in the urban area.

I would class this as an undocumented system feature. A behaviour that occurs but isn't officially documented anywhere for users to read about.

I was thinking more woselt as that is what I thought the point was about and not just the times when staff decide on mass not to do overtime.

I would ban government press conferences always going to the BBC, ITV, Sky's News and then the rest in that order. Although go give Rishi Sunak from credit, recently he took a question from the I newspaper first and the BBC last. In my dictatorship world it would be randomised as to who asked...

Do you work in a sector where they can decide your shifts 7 days in advance and this can be any hour of the day or night? In fact what sectors out there offer thus kind of working?

They can indeed get me a taxi but at a cost. I'm not sure who pays for such costs. Central government or the local authority. Some costs such as hall hire are paid by the local authority but wages are paid by central government. I once had to get a taxi due to torrential rain. Replacing me...

I must admit, for booking tickets to the theatre in London, some months in advance, at times I have booked on Sundays as almost zero chance of to a strike that day. Sometimes that isn't possible and a chance is taken. I missed a theatre show in Janaury and lost £13. It was a preview show. I...

I work at the elections and can only get to my polling station by train. The bus doesn't run early enough. Whilst some staff will be near their polling station it won't be all and people can't vote without us. 1713804498 Are you including polling station staff in your calculation? A polling...

I'm pleased that I was correct in my thinking the unions wouldn't strike during an election week. They clearly care about the public being able to vote. 1713792807 Which companies does this not apply?

Well if an incoming Labour government prioritises not imposing unfair terms and conditions, this will be resolved quickly and they can move on to other important issues. 1713791556 Well the government are selfish.

I wonder how many customers are thinking the next general election ballot can't come soon enough?

That doesn't count as you have to change by train. Otherwise there would be examples of two nearby stations on seprate lines requiring a long route between them by mutiple train being slower than a bus.

I was surprised to find the other day that the bus from Guildford to Farnham was fast than the train service at certain times of the day. So 19 minutes vs 23 minutes by train. At other times it seems to be 23 minutes, which matches the train service. I'm using today's times, may be during...

It's a shame Raileasy can't claim their out of pocket costs back from the RDG, minus cost of original ticket of course.

I think there should always be easements when that part of the line is closed. After all if they aren't needed, why create them in the first place some of the time? If they don't have enough staff to do this work then that is a discussion to be had and that might be the outcome but at least...

I'm not sure it does as it just shows one set of split ticket savings but I booked two separate journeys in the one transection. I have now downloaded the recepit and it has Penrith to Guildford Manchester Oxford Road to Penrith Total share of saving fees However there won't be any saving on...
