I have had an incident with GwR revenue working at a tfl operated station not recognising that bus drivers and controllers are allowed to walk on a platform to use the toilets and lying about staff members getting off trains. I was tempted to file a grievance as I lost my lunch break because...

They do or used to run dlr tour trains which have much fewer people on board for scenic views.

anyone who works on a station is classed as medium risk or higher under the network rail risk assessment matrix for accidents and injuries caused by fatigue fatigue effects your judgment process not only your abioity to percieve things which can create risk

if the agency staff member did only have six hours gap between shifts . (I am not saying they did) wouldnt it be potentially a breach of the hidden rules into the clapham junction rail disaster which requires anyone working in an operational railway environment to have 12 hours between shifts...

DId this incident plunge the heathrow stations onto complete darkness until the emergency power kicked.in.

Doesn't the safety of the multiple people on the escalator still take priority someone losing a case on the escalator has the potential to kill or seriously injure someone. Elizabeth line can average 3-5 passengers per square metre in the peaks going towards Heathrow. I think someone with...

Adiona I believe it's called.

They looked quite confused yesterday when an Elizabeth line train served this platform and 1500 people got off , during the disruption.

There is also an exemption for criminal investigations too

There was one incident I know of anecdotally where someone was touching out at canary wharf with an zone 2-3 travelcard . But not in TfL got data that showed he lived somewhere in the romford area and believed he was short faring . (Bus touch in?) They caught him at canary wharf complete with...

They recieve an overwhelming majority of their income from council tax. Particularly in the southeast

Vehicle excise duty and fuel duty is not a tax to use the road network though,anymore than council tax is a tax to use the bus network . Indeed you can have a vehicle that is exempt from.both and still use the road network You can also pay fuel tax and not use the road network with that fuel...

There are sometimes people doing ticketless travel surveys they often get quite close to impersonating ticket inspectors although not for the purposes of obtaining money.

Subsidised less than the road network though, particularly in London which is part subsidised by LU fares.

The south east England commuter rail subsidy does generate secondary economic output though if you suddenly closed all rail services in London the economic damage to tax revenues would almost certainly be greater than the cost of the subsidy itself. Many of the london area TOCs were returning...

Heathrow express, make roughly ~£8,000,000-£9,000,000 a month in oyster/contactless revenue according to payments from transport trading limited to the Heathrow express operating company . All other TOCs make 1.6 billion combined in the same month https://content.tfl.gov.uk/tflspend2025p5.pdf...

I hope they won't be used in any prosecutions but to ascertain where to send resources like revenue inspectors

Likely not you in particular , But your pattern of not touching in means that there would have likely been intelligence reports of individuals not touching in which would have influenced where to send revenue inspectors It is very difficult to prove a railway offence without being caught in...

The stations are underground so would be required to be staffed. It is also not clear from the press release if this is station staff or drivers from the Heathrow express business unit within GwR (who AFAIK are under different terms and conditions to GwR staff) If its the station staff it's...
