WiFi is one of the most infuriating things on the modern railway, it almost never works, loads some annoying splash/login screen that demands loads of details and randomly connects and disconnects to the point where I just turn off the WiFi on my phone to stop it connecting to a network that...

A lot of the products in TGJones are still branded as WHSMith. I don’t know if it’s just stuff leftover from the sale or whether they still have an agreement to purchase products from WHSMith.

There are definitely large sections of the Underground network where a timetable is useful, on the Bakerloo north of Queens Park, on the Central west of North Acton and east of Woodford/Hainault, the Richmond and Ealing branches of the District, the Mill Hill East branch, the Circle, the H&C...

Platform 1 at Clapham Junction was blocked meaning all trains had to use Platform 17.

I am with Sainsburys energy which is a trading name of E.On. I did have an issue when my gas meter stopped working last year. Once the new one was installed they "estimated" my usage at an amount that was 3 times the amount for the corresponding period of the year before, and tried to claim with...

Lewis Day is @Lrd

Don’t know if anyone else has picked up on this but the signal coverage on the Jubilee line has got worse this week. On Monday there was no signal at all Westminster - Waterloo, since then it hasn’t been available until after departing Westminster whereas previously it was available in the platform.

Yes, but all passenger trains stop at these locations anyway, so it would only effect empty trains. Wouldn't affect Chiltern which would remain in tripcock.

“Train cancellations” is the public facing message for non-availability of fleet as well as for train operators. It is only if a train breaks down in service and then blocks the line will faulty train be used.

Whilst Victoria to Jubilee line is the shortest interchange at Green Park if you’re happy to use stairs & escalators, it’s the longest walk if you only want to use step free, as you have to walk all the way along the “old subway” to the Piccadilly line, and then the entire length of the long...

The only place I’ve travelled through that allows non-EU passport holders to use the gates, with the exception of places that allowed us through before, is Amsterdam.

Have you looked to see if your SWT train stops at Vauxhall, as this offers step free access? If not then you can get the Piccadilly line train from Kings + to Green Park and then the Jubilee line to Waterloo? This however involves a fairly long walk, and with bags you may just prefer to take...

If you enjoy the excitement of getting callouts and going to incidents the Mom role I would have thought being a train driver would be soul destroying.

This is correct, the first signal after the boundary on the Up is an LU signal and the last signal on the Down is also an LU signal (the latter also having a repeater).

The northern boundary is at 22:46, you can see signs in the cess just after the speed sign. The southern boundary is at 46:54. If you stop the video you can see the sign on the left just before the speed restriction sign (and corresponding sign on the right).
