Some one previously said that the doors on either side are linked so if you have pressed the correct side to get off and the wrong side is released, the wrong side will open. I can’t see that being true and maybe the person who posted it was getting confused, however, if it is true, then that...
I think there are two things here:
Firstly, they are clearly getting in the way of people and that’s basically down to them being ignorant or just not aware of their surroundings. I’d just have said excuse me in the typical British awkward manner, but to each their own.
Secondly, some people...
Sometimes medical professionals have a tendency to say things that they can’t really be certain of. For example I've had colleagues state that the doctor told them they definitely caught a virus at work. Which is something they clearly can’t be sure of. An optician saying it will affect your...
Yep. 121. I gather another could be added but it’s a bit of a political issue if another is added on the yellow line before one goes down to Sunderland.
I think the implication is that when it comes down to it, the officer who issued the ticket will have no memory of OP telling him it had the wrong name on, and the investigator will think that OP was actively giving false details, which would be backed up when they realise he’s at the same...

Exactly. someone reads that comment and goes to the Facebook group but fails to mention it’s the musings of someone that isn’t an expert and that wasn’t even on the train and just tells people they heard its driver error. A drivers had a hard shift and doesn’t need comments like that on a forum...
A fan blows cold air over the trains resistor banks to cool them down, resulting in hot air that needs evacuated. Based on a thermostat, the air is directed either out underneath the train, or into the saloon. Over the years parts have broken down and cant be replaced, or are blocked up with...
