Same colour scheme Same shapes used

Third rail is outdated and dangerous. Many people on here usually refer to natural selection in a smug way when hearing about these incidents. This isn't some vandal crossing the tracks to damage things. Third rail ought to be removed and replaced with overhead wires as a priority. With the...

The 317s speeding through Broxbourne... I do miss that, having a 379 glide through quietly just isn't the same.

I though they always use double headed locos to double the distance the driver is from the radioactivity in order to reduce the intensity of exposure over time.

With the DMU shortage up north, why is NR using a 150 as a test train as opposed to something made from locos, or perhaps mark 1 DMUs?

Haha I really do hope they don't get EMUs with a metro/high frequency layout. I remember the NLL units from the same generation as 315s and 317s had low frequency layouts but were replaced by 378 Capitalstars. I'm guessing the Overground will want to follow this again..

The people that planned and designed this ought to be banned from ever working on anything. They evidently failed to even conduct research into what the purpose of a railway station is. Or perhaps there were other factors behind these seemingly poor choices.

I can tell it has been created by an amateur. The style is pathetic and it's a shame that they are allowed to apply such poor quality graphics to what was a classy grey livery.

I wonder why they decided to place it in what looks like such an awkward spot?

British Rail design standards written in the 1960s, "It is not the intention that corporate identity shall submerge individual or local character, rather it will stand as evidence of a guaranteed standard service". I've always disliked First's colours and identity - they ruin stations by...

I'm not entirely sure although I suspect you may be comparing the Gospel Oak to Barking Line with the electrified North London Line, as 2 car 172s replaced 2 car 150s on the GOBLin and 4 car 378s replaced 4 car 508s on the NLL.

I just noticed, only a typo.

I think it's caused as the metal heats up and cools down and expands and contracts. With the amount of metal on tracks this has quite an effect in some places.

It's better to have a litter problem than explosions happening. That is the idea here essentially. But if people are determined enough they will find other ways to do terrorism.
