    ECML disruption - broken down train near York (21/02)

    Yet another shining example on how not to handle a failure. Four hours! After checking the local geography and train location I’m surprised a load didn’t de-camp.

    WMR major disruption on the Hereford to Birmingham line (25/26 October)

    And this is what irritates the general public, a railway stuck in the 1970s. As farcical as the “tap fitter” situation in Carry on at your Convenience

    Difference between the terms "Guard" and "Conductor"?

    I don’t feel the need to call them anything. If I need to get their attention I’ll just say “excuse me” like I would to anyone else in a working role. It’s all going to be moot anyway, when unstaffed trains become the norm.

    Richard is an experienced driving instructor and his videos have helped many people (myself included) pass their driving test.

    Merseyrail semi-fast running antics.

    Absolutely correct. It’s not difficult to see the problem.

    Derailment at Ramsgate (29/11/24)

    Off topic, but the RHTT with the blue tanks in this video, why does it need an engine at each end?

    Storm Darragh - 6/7th Dec

    Congestion at Birmingham New St earlier with lots of cancellations. Trains crawling between Stamford and Peterborough due to tree debris on the line.

    Mobility scooter on track - Thameslink 29/8

    Why did the northbound driver declare himself unfit? He wasn’t involved
