I was on the Falmotuh Line on Monday, both Trains on the Branch were Class 150 (2 car units), hopefully this is to become the Standard.

150128 and 150232 according to my notes from my travels! I traveled on the line on Monday also.

Thanks Chris, the question was purely hypothetical, as it got so many replys yet no answers on the other forum, i thought it would be interesting to see the response on here. The other forum is showing many different and interesting replies. One reply said that SWTs▸ (South West Trains) see queuing indefinitely as acceptable queue time

Following on from a post i made in somebody elses thread in another forum, where 5 pages later they are still discussing my post not the original thread question, thought i'd post here for peoples opinions?
here is the post i made:

Quote
What is deemed a reasonable or acceptable queuing time at a ticket office?
E.g I arrive at station ticket office queue at 1540, Train at 1605, the queue is slow moving and by 1600 i leave the queue to catch my train. I then Get on Train where no opportunity is made to buy a ticket. I reach my destination at 1640, I have to be at an important appointment 10 mins away at 1700. If i queue for 10 minutes, I have made reasonable effort to buy a ticket, however the TOC▸ (Train Operating Company) has not made a reasonable effort to sell me a ticket, due to inefficient ticket offices. Who's fault is it? I'd made 20 mins allowance at start station, and then 10 mins further at destination, plus a 35 minute journey. That would surely be a reasonable attempt to buy a ticket. What would happen if i was stopped leaving the station by an RPI▸ (Revenue Protection Inspector (or Retail Price Index, depending on the context)), I'm assuming prosecution, but i'd made intent to buy tickets however i was unable to due to unreasonable queueng time, as the offence wording generally says about intent!

The scenario is purely hypothetical

Eastern appear to be flying at present under the Eastern name not ASW, Pirate FM travel news several times have reported eastern service from manchester to Newquay is delayed, and i've thought whos eastern, now i realise they are ASW.

It is based on a years figures, so based on the gates being less than a year old, as a minimum the start of the figures were pre gate installation. Potentially depending on when the figures date from it could be more pre gate than post gate, so a larger increase to come in the next set of figures!
2862  Journey by Journey / Plymouth and Cornwall / interesting working video on: August 21, 2011, 12:33:55
Not sure if i'm permitted to post this link here, however i have just come across on youtube a video of an interesting working and thought it may interest some members.

A LM▸ (London Midland - recent franchise) 153, a FGW▸ (First Great Western) 153 and the infamous 153399 working through bodmin!

2863  All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: New Railcard 'Two Together' trialling soon. on: August 21, 2011, 00:56:57
so  potentially every family who travel together regularly could pop in to birmingham ticket office, give a random address in the local area of a friend or relative and get one of these cards to say use regularly on say a penzance to Plymouth journey?

Once purchased the Railcard can be used to purchase discounted tickets from any National Rail ticket office throughout Great Britain.


although states  can buy from any ticket office, can it be used for any routes, or just routes in the midlands areas mentioned
