Just a side note - Crosscountry's EMA was 4 weeks / 1 Railway period longer than the others, to line up with the expiry of the current franchise.  One assumes an ERMA will be agreed, but I've not seen this confirmed anywhere yet.

Wouldn't an easy short-term option until 31 December be to remove "Peak" pricing completely?  Wouldn't that give the discounts commuters are looking for, for the 2/3 day week they are allegedly wanting/needing to travel?

Maybe too simple  Huh

Hello.. new around here.  Forgive my ignorance, but it looks like there is no way to be dropped off or park at Temple Meads during the hours that diesel cars are banned.  Is that really sensible  Huh
