    1Z88 Gloucester to Canterbury West today

    Very nice pic @Deepgreen Mine was from a phone and during the video, the engine literally stopped steaming as it coasted through the platform to stop. Wasn't expecting to see it - otherwise, would have brought the big beastie camera

    Engineering solutions to incompetent motorists turning left/right at level crossings

    I don't know whether the wig wags were flashing when the motorist at Motspur Park LC turned left - does anyone know? One wonders how this driver passed his driving test if he or she drove through a red light that clearly indicates STOP ! Apart from barriers lifting up from beneath the road...

    Bullying surrounding trainspotting

    I was at school in the 1970s/early 1980s and was more of a "spotter for numbers" back then until I "got the bug" for various rolling stock types and mechanical signalling. Yes I was teased/bullied for it but when I told the perpetrators that I had cab rides or pulled signal levers in the local...

    Station barrier staff lacking empathy

    I can't imagine gateline staff getting much training - especially as many seem to be agency, or on minimum wage. I've had many encounters with un-empathetic staff who I feel, shouldn't be in customer-facing roles. Decent manners certainly seems to be lacking in many walks of life

    (Reasonable) Features you'd like to see implemented on RailUK Forums

    Thanks :) In terms of the "Russia invades Ukraine" thread (and others); yes it's annoying/upsetting but I just don't read it. I don't read every thread in this forum; just ones that interest me most

    Can 17 year old be prosecuted for not paying penalty fare?

    I would give her two very stark choices: 1) she earns the money from you by doing chores etc. 2) she can be dealt with more harshly by the magistrates in court If I were your daughter, I suspect I know what choice I would pick.... However, if you are pursued for the money, pay up now before...

    New Signalling, ROC's

    I think a lot comes down to reducing manpower and costs - which has been happening for decades; however, there seems to be less resilience in the newer systems as electronic devices are "programmed" to be fail-safe and often fail more easily. I think the grand plan of 12 ROC's for the entire...

    Falsely used 16-25 railcard. investigated letter received.

    Sadly, that isn't their problem. You will need to find the money somehow, whether it be begging and borrowing from family/friends or working extra hours
