They really need to cut and cover those 4 crossings. I have to travel these crossings alot and they are mostly down than up. Even if they did the main roads from Stamford to Deeping. Also been through as a passenger and had an emergency brake situation once, You could smell the brakes! No...

First time since I moved near the ECML and coming home with a code BLACK..... Jumped over to St Panc for the 4pm train to Leicester and it was bedlam. What was interesting was the amount of LNER staff on the platform. Good to see some sort of a plan. Lucky to get a seat and then someone...

I wish my MP would bring my line up.... He had an item a couple of weeks back in the local paper where he gets the write a page but was mostly 'I am continuing to talk to them about it.' Waste of time.

What a great answer! Thanks watershed! You have explained alot more than was expected! I shall look in the BR fares for my return times. Such a minefield...

I've just moved to the area and now have to buy train tickets instead of using a Oyster card! So according to this webpage https://www.lner.co.uk/tickets-savings/your-ticket/train-ticket-options/off-peak-tickets/ I could take any train that arrives after 10:08 into Kings cross for a Off peak...

Took my first journey this week. I had to do a West Drayton to Stratford journey. Train was busy from Paddington, Most got off at Liverpool street with me, I jumped on an East Anglia that was leaving 2 minutes early from Liverpool street instead of a EL. It looked like alot were doing the...

Depends on which Platform you get on the high line. Platforms 12 & 14 have about a 10-minute walk where as platform 1 is right by the entrance to the Elizy line. At the top, you can see the train doors so its only one escalator down to the trains.

Ya know I visited a client today, The first thing I said was your on 8 year old software and most of the problems you are seeing is due to staying with the old software. But they said we can't as we need to test and the good old 'what if' came out... Most of the time these what-ifs are fixed...

Well, they know the day but just won't be telling us yet... https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/crossrail-elizabeth-line-opening-date-tfl-b987951.html

If yesterday was the last big passenger station exercise, They must have all gone ok? Does anyone know if they need to redo any? There is a train software update over Easter and then maybe 2 weeks full running? I'm going the end of May myself, In time for the Queens events.

My facebook reminded me of the photo I took 4 years ago showing the roof going onto Paddington station. And my comment was only 7 months till it's open! Which has aged well as it's now hopefully less than 7 months till its open :lol:

I visited Paddington for the first time in a year today and had some time to look at the new part of the station. Very impressive, So many gates on the gate line it's like it's for a station near a football stadium. They were also cleaning up the old Paddington building within the Elizabeth...

I'm sure on knowing of it the cam owner would turn it off. Someone was watching it at 4am to notice this guy! So I'm sure it wouldn't take long before someone tweets or messages them. A lot of people think TV is delayed, for this reason, I spent 4 years working on motorbikes on TV, and...

Using that first half of the year to the extreme. I wouldn't be surprised if its the 31st of June at this rate. Get it 31st? ;)

Didn't someone say recently they might scrap the staged opening and go full hog and open the whole lot in one go? Is that still on the cards?
