    Are you happy in your job as an RPI?

    To all RPIs out there... Today I had reason to travel on TL. On two separate services, I had an RPI. No disrespect - just an observation but both of them looked really happy in their work (not!). In fact, one of them looked so miserable, I thought there might have been a death in the...

    Somebody posted on another thread about problems with the MCB-OD crossings. I would be very interested to find out what these are because I haven't heard of any problems with the new OD crossings in East Sussex

    Where are all the Stone Faiveley pantographs gone?

    With 319's being hot news at present and some talk on their pantographs, has got me thinking. When built, 319.001 - 060 all had Stone Faiveley pantographs fitted. Many were replaced with high speed Brecknell Willis at some point or other. What has been the reason for the change and has this...

    Many moons ago, I seem to remember only corridor stock being allowed through the narrow single bore tunnels under Shakespeare Cliff. Why are Javelins allowed through?

    Unipart Automotive in administration

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I understand the automotive branch of Unipart has gone into administration. Is Unipart Dorman, Unipart Rail etc a separate entity altogether or are these likely to run into difficulties?

    Just wanted to share....near heart attack...

    On Saturday, I was waiting for a train at Mitcham Junction. A man walking up the opposite platform caught my eye. He walked to the end of the platform and jumped down on the track. BTW, he had headphones in his ears. Without looking, he started to cross the line and purposely stepped...

    East Sussex Coast Resignalling

    I understand this has been delayed for a third time now (or perhaps indefinately?) as the scheme should have been commissioned on 12th/13th April. Is the only reason for the delay due to the LiDAR (and/or RADAR) not working properly at the level crossings or are there other reasons too...
