    Not the best first half but this is still winnable. Tudgay on for Lamieres.

    How much does it cost to rent a train or two?

    Clearly they didn't or it wouldn't have come as such a surprise to the vast majority of people.

    Blog post about CCFC from a Luton fan

    This debate raises the question of what is success?W hen there is talk on here that we can't be competitive in the championship due to our financial situation some say believing that is not supporting the club and not wanting the club to be successful. Could the same not apply to the PL? Is...

    How much does it cost to rent a train or two?

    I think its pretty simple. London Midland say that CCC were aware 5 years ago, CCC have been very quiet and haven't denied that. To me all CCC needed to do was say something like "The station will only be able to cope with low volume of traffic until the line is electrified which is not due to...

    Ticket Solution

    The impression I get is that our current ticket system is an off the shelf package that runs on our own hardware located in the Citibase offices. Remember how when they first moved there the ticketing system was screwed and they blamed the speed of the internet connection there. That gives a...

    Blog post about CCFC from a Luton fan

    There's no doubting 34 years in the top division is a fantastic achievement but we're at a point now where a decent percentage of our fanbase weren't around then. In some ways its like a run of 9 draws, win the next game and you're unbeaten in 10 and pretty happy, lose and you haven't won in 10...

    How much does it cost to rent a train or two?

    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.

    Ticket Solution

    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.

    That train

    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...

    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    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.

    Pardon me boy....is that the councils empty choo choo

    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.

    Pardon me boy....is that the councils empty choo choo

    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...
