1  All across the Great Western territory / Your rights and redress / Re: Delay repay missed connection on: Yesterday at 01:28:28 pm
Whilst I don't know the details of your journey, arrival time at St Ives are at intervals of 29 minute then 31 minute intervals. It is probable that your delay covered one of the 29 minute intervals

Mail trains from Eastleigh is my memory
3  Journey by Journey / Heart of Wessex / New Timetable from 21 May 2023 on: May 18, 2023, 01:33:40 pm
The timetable is being revised to give a more even interval between services, This means that the "day trip" train, currently 0842 from Bristol Temple Meads is being brought forward 0803 and no longer runs from Worcester. I am pleased to note that off peak da returns are valid on this service.
4  All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Scottish Rovers no longer include ferries on: May 15, 2023, 10:54:07 am
This ticket has been dumbed down over the years with many of the former bus services no longer available
5  All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: HS2 - Government proposals, alternative routes and general discussion on: April 25, 2023, 08:06:42 pm
A good example of the case that changing your mind increases your costs. It may well have been cheaper to have continued with the original

If you are still stuck I can help on 30th
7  All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: TfL plan to scrap Travelcards on: April 20, 2023, 04:18:02 pm
It will also mean that TfL» (Transport for London - about) get 100% of the contactless/Oyster (Smartcard system used by passengers on Transport for London services) PAYG (Pay as you go), rather than splitting it with the TOCs (Train Operating Company), which will achieve the shoring up their income aim
Surely they will still have to reimburse TOCs for those parts of the journey not on TfL services

11  Journey by Journey / London to Swindon and Bristol / Re: Thoughts on a blockage in the Corsham / Box area ... on: March 24, 2023, 05:14:36 pm
In respect of point 2, although the Bradford junction reversal was used during the Box tunnel works, is was actually provided during the Westbury area re-signalling in the 1980s
12  All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: The end summer service from Blackpool and Preston to the Settle and Carlisle? on: March 12, 2023, 11:36:12 am
It is the total withdrawal of passenger services on the line. Surely in that case closure procedures have to be followed irrespective of the number of trains per day
13  All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: The end summer service from Blackpool and Preston to the Settle and Carlisle? on: March 12, 2023, 11:30:32 am
My first thought is "Have they gone through the necessary statutory procedures?"
