As mentioned, private security for large private land - they have a few more powers than your usual security and often patrol areas of networks/large yards. 1774211952 Sometimes not, sometimes an ejection is all that's needed; often that is deemed 'enough' by the railway, its a useful tool to...

Under the railway byelaws, almost anything can get you removed; Byelaw 6: Unacceptable Behaviour, with no definition of what constitutes such behaviour, means if the railway is fed up with you, you can be removed; with reasonable force if required. Alas, very few people on the railway still have...

Waterloo has a mobile water bowser

worthy to add that London Bridge hub office is also home to the Kent EIU - a joint NR/BTP unit with a mobile MOM (they go by another name though), given my experience at my hub, they'd rock up and standard is to raise a log to control encase of medical needs/foul play/preserve site for...

Stomarket station would not be the same without its ticking clock! :D

I am a regular commuter on AGA. I often come here to read on developments on the network and try and learn a bit more about the reasons of how and why things happen. I certainly do not wish for such people as this thread and twitter has shown to be "my" spokesperson for commuters on Abellios...

Well, like at the super-market, I prefer to see a human when I buy something. I also feel like I am also helping someone keep their job - I know, kinda pompus to say, but a machine is no match for a human. Alas, each time I went to print out pre-booked tickets (which I buy often), I just felt...
