On the 12/02, there was major disruption at London Waterloo. However the main entrance doors (by the arch entrance) to the station were chained locked shut (internally) with staff situated outside but no one inside. How is it safe to padlock doors with chains, what if there was a fire or an...

Why do the B07 trains need to be reduced to 2 cars? Surely the issue with the mileage is limited to the stock planning to be withdrawn so it’d be better to have the trains staying 3 cars?

Can’t beat the view as you leave Marseille Saint Charles and walk down the steps into the City. Yes it isn’t the safest but best sense of arrival?

Strange, I was on a B09 train at Bow Church on Tuesday and the train over ran (even though only 2 car so still well within the platform) and made a loud noise and the dispatcher had to re position but he was in the rear unit

If you look at the DLR design guide it sets out that the streamlined architectural character of the stations don’t afford the ability to have full roundels. They’d be visually discordant and introduce clutter, to otherwise pretty minimal stations with lots of glass in comparison to LU/LO...

Yesterday I was onboard a DLR service around 22:30 and a man started verbally attacking a female passenger. The DLR staff member boarded the carriage next stop and he stopped. I really think people underestimate the presence of staff on passenger behaviour and it would be very regressive to...

I see, I was thinking surely they automatically change to rear lights when the train travels in the other direction

I was travelling into Waterloo today, when I noticed that a Class 455 had its headlights on at the rear instead of the red lights - is this allowed? I attached a pic of the rear of the train

Pretty strange that they didn’t use orange for the Windrush line, given that was the colour of the East London line before?

However, Stratford does have a huge concourse which is empty even at peak times which could surely be repurposed for additional space?

I have already stated the 8:07 Waterloo to Reading. The train leaving before the 45 second cut off happens on a daily basis. There’s signage on platforms that indicate this. I can tell you this is a common view point shared amongst passengers.

IMO at the incident in question, SWR is running such an awful service at the moment (I have applied for delay repay for 30 mins+ every day for the last 5 working days), that they are keen to get things out ASAP just to avoid having to deal with claims even if this means leaving early. There...

It was a Waterloo to Reading service.

It’s 45 secs

This happens at least once a week and it isn’t ever busy, somtimes I wonder maybe it is because Waterloo is under such pressure. But it is unacceptable to leave at least 10 people behind when it was still before the 45 sec period. Often when making connections (especially at Waterloo with delays...
