    Sheerness branch disruption 02/02 - damage to trains caused by passengers?

    Is there any info on whether the disruptive passengers were caught and reported? Or is it another 'hit and run' kind of situation

    Sheerness branch disruption 02/02 - damage to trains caused by passengers?

    I'm assuming the stations (except Sittingbourne) are all unstaffed and not barriered as well? Especially on a Sunday.

    Sheerness branch disruption 02/02 - damage to trains caused by passengers?

    Noticed on the Southeastern whatsapp channel today that the Sheerness branch was suspended from around 1630 to 2030, due to passengers causing such a disturbance and damage to the train set that it had to be taken out of service, and a replacement set be sent over. Is the Sheerness branch...

    Class 376 refurbishment 2025/2026

    Have been living in SE metro land for about 4 months now, commuting using the 376s, and I have to say I am glad they're getting a refresh... although not too sure how I feel about the supposed new LED lighting as I quite like the lighting on these trains! Far warmer than the 707s!!

    Public perception of railways

    Probably already been mentioned but cost is probably one of the biggest factors against rail that I hear. I know lots of people who travel frequently between Scotland and London, often on short notice, and most of the time it is cheaper to fly than take the train! Anywhere else in Europe it...

    Abbreviations where they aren’t required

    The old dot matrix screens at Tring used to say 'Harrow & Wealdstn', which I always found a bit weird. The new screens just don't seem to work at all the past 3-4 times I've been so no clue whether they still abbreviate Harrow and Wealdstone :lol:.

    First Essex

    After their purchase of EnsignBus, I'm wondering how this is going. Is the Ensign brand going to be phased out and become First or is it remaining as Ensign?
