@BenjaminOCall But.. Most people don't get that there are different operators. "It's a train" is the usual response.

My 4 day Interail pass Rome to Wakefield in 3 days. A waste to travel back to London in 2hrs. So I’m heading Wakefield to London - via Penzance! On the 10:14 1V52 to Plymouth, then GWR to PNZ & 21:15 sleeper tonight. It's busy... 📍Follow live route: polarsteps.com/ChristopherOgi…

@SimonCalder I'm taking the ferry to Spain. £76 for two people. Another 100 for the cabin. No baggage allowance. No massive waits. 45 minute check in. Last time I did the trip I was off the boat and in the bar at Santander under 15 minutes.

122 easyJet passengers were left behind at Milan after their Manchester flight took off with only 34 on board, due to EU entry-exit system delays. Could it happen to you? From 1 to 2pm today I will host a live Ask Me Anything on the EES. Here's the link 🔽 independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@Ogilvie_CJ @MrTimDunn That's certainly a different Mons to what I visited several years ago. Then it was just a building site

📺 Did ‘The Architecture The Railways Built’ get another series @mrtimdunn ?! 🇧🇪 I’m at SNCB’s Mons station. This stunning bus/rail interchange at Mons worth a feature. A great example of modern architecture adding to the railway - and the wider city.

@PhilipMarsh253 So your employer sends you on a course about safety and then won't let you talk to anyone about it 😯. I would have thought they'd have wanted to share your new information with lots of others to keep them safe

Home from the course now. I couldn't take a picture at the course - we were told we couldn't even talk about what had happened... all we can talk about is how it was about safety.

@Ogilvie_CJ But, in the UK, forcing operators to show all trains leads to confusion. I've got a grand central only ticket so I look at the GC website for trains from York to London. It shows the 0955. Then, when I turn up at the station it's a LNER service. BA don't show easyJet flights

🇫🇷🇮🇹 Good to see Paris-Lyon route has an almost 50/50 split of SNCF TGV/Trenitalia Frecciarossa 1000 from Dec 14 timetable change. Has SNCF handed over paths? Pity SNCF app only shows their trains. In UK all operators have to show all trains & fares.

Rail fares: traditionally, next year's ticket price rises are in line with July's inflation rate, about to be revealed. Government says “No decisions have been made on next year’s rail fares.” How to turn around the belief we pay too much for poor service? independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@Ogilvie_CJ They need to sort out their own internal night trains first. Barcelona to Vigo for example and also the international Irun to Lisbon

Open access: SNCF moves to 2027 the launch of services in Italy. - SNCF has purchased 15 two-decker TGV-M to guarantee more seats. - Fares to fall 20%. - Italo & Le Frecce to give up paths.

@seatsixtyone There's a train from Riga to Valga that misses the train to Tartu and Tallinn by 13 minutes. A few weeks ago it was a 3 minute connection (with the Estonian train leaving at 1224 - rather than 1209 currently)

@Eurostar please, when you cancel a train, and hold the preceding train (often for over 1 hour) to pick up affected passengers, think of all the hundreds already on the (now) delayed train who have to be somewhere, who have connections to make

@TPEassist Hello It was purchased on board because I find your conductors to be friendly and helpful. It hasn't been used. It was purchased in advance of the date I am travelling

@TPEassist Thank you for your quick reply and link. I have an off peak ticket. Your website only makes reference to tickets purchased at a station or via your website. There's not an option to refund a ticket purchased on board
