All your seat reservation "ticket" does is inform you that a seat reservation made and it is in coach X in seat XX.

If reservation labels are not shown - no seat reservations are valid. End of story.

Sadly, if seat reservations are not shown - then it's a free for all.

Want to put that to the test Graham? Grin

I think I know where this has come from ... I'll have to check a certain log from a certain forum though.

Edit: Got it. It's a known bullshitter and fraudster.

I have purposefully been vague as the info is not really in the public domain yet and was obtained from NR» (Network Rail - home page).
Bullshitting department? Wink

The old Severn Bridge was also shut westbound, but that's perhaps a story for another site.

Better than any of the smells on a Voyager!   Wink Cheesy Grin

Any of the smells? Amusingly, the smells you can smell on a Vomit are smells of the human body. Pleasant Wink

I'd agree that the current service is inappropriate, but in my own mind I'd rather see an initial service that operates to a lesser frequency than the already agreed timings in order to stimulate the growth required in order to support a 2 hourly service which I agree would be needed - but I'm looking at an overall point of view for through journies between Swindon and Westbury, etc - Melksham is simply an intermediate station on the route that will benefit from an increased service.

hourly or two hourly
I consider myself to be an optimistic person but I can't really see hourly being viable!

I can't see how someone who is (a) bending the rules and (b) has already been shown up by someone else he asked for the answer to be a cheat can possibly get away with not being disqualified.

Like Graham said, if we were playing for prizes then it would matter a bit more.

Also, where did I specifically ask someone for an answer? I simply borrowed one that might make sense. That's the wonder of forums. Besides, a bit of research into a subject is required to know where somewhere is in the first place. Research being the definition that you need to look into it more - or that you've actually been there before.

I don't have a clue so I borrow. Smiley

Well, I do have a rough idea but I need to check.
