Although the article that's from seems to be more about hiring a train to go from one end of the country so probably cheaper.

Is that the queue for the train?

Problem is the cost of access to that infrastructure. The club wanted to use the smart card system for season tickets this year but that hasn't happened so the chances of us being given access to the barcode system are slim.

London Midland's diesel depot is in Tysley. As weekends on most lines offer a reduced service at weekends there is diesel rolling stock stored there over the weekend. All it would need is that rolling stock to be moved over for use on the Coventry to Nuneaton line. That's not hard, the line...

Not to worry, we'll be fine in 2017 150 people an hour then!

So it seems that while the public consultation is still taking place a combined authority board has already been assembled. It almost appears like they are going to do what they want no matter what is said in the consultation.

Same at Ajax, no problem getting the majority of the crowd onto public transport. Went to Metlife Stadium in New Jersey as well. Its well out in the sticks and holds over 80K yet no problem getting people to and from the stadium via train. We are so far behind in this country.

The Wasps chap who was on Midlands Today certainly didn't come across as someone who had known all along that there wouldn't be a decent service. While its annoying for us, and makes the city look ridiculous, most of our fans are local and used to getting there using other means. If, as seems...

This kind of thing is one of the most frustrating aspects of the rail network being broken up. You shouldn't have to have information like that to get the best price.

He's like a little kid on twitter. You either agree with him or you're against there being a train station at all. He can't seem to comprehend that people would actually like trains to stop at the station. If this was always the plan, that the grant money had to be spent by a certain time which...

People would use it if it was cost effective and reliable. When I worked a couple of months in Japan we went pretty much everywhere by train. It was cheap, clean and to the second onetime. Compare that to over here. For me to go from Portsmouth to Cov for a match, assuming its a Saturday and I...

Looks like Villa will go through and also looks like we need another #bakerday

If Wiki is to be believed London Midland have a sizable amount of diesel rolling stock. Given that the majority of matches are weekends and most lines operate a reduced service at weekends, meaning not all the rolling stock is being used, would it not be possible to divert some over here?

Was supposed to be Saturday, got moved for computer games thing at the Ricoh.

I didn't say it was CCC's money, I said it was public money. Or does it materialise out of thin air?

How is it utter tripe? You yourself stated: So CCC committed to spend public money to improve rail infrastructure based on a level of service they were told the train providers would give. That public money has now been spent and the service will not be provided. Only if you think the job of...

Bit of an odd one. His record isn't great and it seems he picked up a fairly major injury just as he was breaking through. He would have been in the West Brom youth team when TM was there so hopefully he's here because TM knows what he is like and believes he can perform at this level.

Like how he's decided to stand in the middle of the matchday crowd control barriers at the station to do the report.

So presumably that ensured all that was included in a water tight contract and London Midland will be heavily penalised for failing to provide the contracted service. Or could it be that, as London Midland have stated today, they told CCC this might occur 5 years ago. [/COLOR]
