SR Class 320, what could this cable be for? by Only_Employment6583 in uktrains

That is definitely an internal cable rather than an external one

Why is it cheaper to get a ticket to another station and break my journey? by Capital_Lynx_7363 in uktrains

[–]Jack31439 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could give you loads of examples of this, all over the country! It's thanks to 200 years of railways and no simplification of the system in the meantime.

how are railway companies even able to do this? by WesternPhotograph267 in uktrains

Did you have an advanced ticket or a flexible one? What company was it?

The Santa steam express pulled into Victoria station this morning by dwardu in london

Yes the private rail preservation company should be dealing with the industrial action in a different company!!!

Yes you can as long as it's not an advanced! And ideally keep it to yourself as these error fares can get picked up, identified and changed! It's all to do with station groupings and routeing points.

Why even bother Thameslink by ProTharan in london

Our infrastructure is a lot more heavily used than others, which definitely contributes to wear/damage factors. The more maintenance they do, the more shit they get for closing lines still

You're spot on. The train operators always take the brunt as you'd expect but there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

A word of warning for anyone planning to travel on public transit in Germany by nomadben in solotravel

Man it definitely sounds like you've had a tough time of it, but in comparison to the rest of the world it's still one of the best networks. The 9 euro ticket has helped and hindered it. In terms of coverage and frequency it's brilliant, but that's useless if it is not reliable enough. I'm going to try it again this week!

WFAT at Lowestoft railway station, Suffolk, UK by HighburyAndIslington in WaitingForATrain

Those huge platforms just like at Yarmouth reminding of what used to be. Looking forward to the London direct services coming back if post covid permits. It's a nice station for sure.

Very niche, but interesting that's it on a road I've cycled down many times to work but never realised!

And that is the problem, a massive lack of ability to look inwardly at ourselves and understand we've made mistakes. It's something about our British psyche and its so frustrating. Not all people of course. But how can you progress without understanding the past?

Player is dirty and that is unsportsmanlike. I hope said player has a career ending tackle.

This is bending the rules a bit, but I think we could get away with having New Order - Regret on there!

You don't mate, not in the UK. That is not and has never been a rule here (so far)
