    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    Maybe it's because she had to go to Derby and her train from St Pancras was late? Could have alternatively gone from her constituency in Swindon, but that'd have meant going on crowded Cross Country from Bristol PW or Oxford. Or perhaps she took a car because they've opted politically and put...

    Is it a good idea to release forward facing CCTV footage of incidents?

    I haven't seen the video - but the point is that access to CCTV is access to personal data according to the legislation. That someone can choose - without permission I presume - to share that video is to point to lax implementation of the responsibility. If there were no faces visible in the...

    Is it a good idea to release forward facing CCTV footage of incidents?

    Inability to follow the law is not a reason to ignore it. Should persistent criminals be ignored because they can't help breaking the law? Please read the prior post I made, with chapter and verse on it. It is personal data, there is a requirement to control it. Public curiosity is not the...

    Is it a good idea to release forward facing CCTV footage of incidents?

    It *can* keep it secure. If it cannot, it is in breach of the law and has no right to do it. Someone is appointed as Data Protection Officer and they are responsible for compliance, training - and also reporting...

    Is it a good idea to release forward facing CCTV footage of incidents?

    The video should not have been shared. There should be a riot act being read, if not a P45 written - this is confidential employer data. It's negligent if the employer is not controlling access to CCTV - Data protection issues writ large. CCTV is everywhere: people get up to all sorts, or...

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    Typo: Longwood. Lockwood would be Penistone line - a little wired spur in case of incorrect routing might have been possible here, but I checked and the application is for Milne/Longwood Viaduct.

    Northern fake "Compulsory Reservations" Trial

    This is scarcely a rareity in this day and age. People are encouraged to use the apps to buy tickets, and even the ticket machines have issues as they interact with the reservation system. These shenanigans are actively stopping people from buying a legitimately available ticket, for journeys...

    Northern fake "Compulsory Reservations" Trial

    I mean, they _could_ be - but someone's already shown a journey greyed out earlier on in this thread -- which I took to mean 'full'.. and you know, it's never really 'full' before you've added the walk-ons... so they can't honestly have sold out of all the standing positions.. that might be the...

    Northern fake "Compulsory Reservations" Trial

    .. but we need to keep fares fixed so that inflation doesn't get worse. Let's sell less tickets.

    Northern fake "Compulsory Reservations" Trial

    This is where they're going wrong: They will be marking available capacity as the number of seats. If you don't have people sat in the bog, you aren't even approaching full... capacity needs to be - I'd guess - 2x the number of seats. Where on earth do they get the staff/leadership from...

    Electrification: should more future proofing be done?

    In that area I'd say the first add-in should be to Hambleton Jct - 7 miles, for the operational flexibility it gives Leeds-London.

    What I think is wrong with current OHLE electrification practice

    Some mast bases were piled in - near Radley, the actual masts finish just before Appleford Crossing. Once GWEP had gone off-track financially, Oxford was deferred, and IIRC it was then that remodeling and resignalling became prerequisites to adding wires. Well.. the resignalling happened, and...

    Deloitte fined £6m for 2016-20 audit failures at Go-Ahead Group plc (Southeastern and London Midland)

    Scratching my virtual beard on who that one could be ... Then after losing the franchise, companies like Virgin insisted on their branding disappearing immediatelyb(overnight ?) or else legal action to recover the branding fees .. but that is the nature of that company, it is a branding...

    Report of collision Bedford (Elstow) - 19/06/26

    Pathologists and police have to see things, medics too, that most people would never wish to see - they know that that is something that their duty calls upon them to do. Rail drivers also get no say in whether someone will - intentionally or otherwise - die in front of their train. I've...
