What does that actually mean - how is it different from RA / Right Away?

Confused. Is there an online map that shows the name of junctions? Thanks.

Interesting - didn't realise there will be *four* CHX platforms - they're using just three at the moment, aren't they (7-9)? Is this why CHX down trains are currently having to pass through in the morning peak (and up ones in the evening peak)?

Never seen a 12-car train on the Bexleyheath line. The longest we get are 10-car Electrostars or 10-car 465/6 combis. Are they due?

Thanks for all your replies.

Somebody, somewhere (either on this thread or on the London Bridge reconstruction works thread) has no doubt already answered this, but I can't find it, so apologies for posting. Once CHX trains commence stopping again at LBG at the end of August, will they be using the Bermondsey dive under...

I guess that you and I understand that, but I don't think it works for someone who knows little about rail stock.

Bob Gwynne (curator at the National Railway Museum) gave an unconvincing description of the difference between a DMU and a diesel loco. He describes a DMU as a "self-propelled train".

That'd be far too logical.:D

Back this morning. Hurrah.

And the 132. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- And fixing/testing damaged lineside signalling equipment. Some of those tweeters are pretty ignorant. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Is that official? I've seen this update which says it will be open tomorrow but...

I see, thanks. But being as it will have its own platform, it's not a *pass* loop any more? Just trying to get my head round the terminology. Railway terms frequently confuse me!

Still? Isn't it all new?! (genuine question). Or do you mean that it's the equivalent of the old track 7 that by-passed LBG?

By up loop, do you mean Platform 9?

Silly Q: what's a running-in board?

Yeah - was out by 1! Thanks all.

And that's running through what will be platforms 8/9(/&10?), although not stopping, of course, until Aug 2016?

I view the www.realtimetrains.co.uk site directly, rather than the app, on my phone. It's much better and it's free.

Thanks. Yes, consecutive is a better word! :D

In layman's terms, does that mean the longest stretch between adjacent signals?
