Station Control Room just a hyped-up term for Supervisor's Office. I don't imagine many stations have supervisors these days, now that station staff don't do point winding or operating CIS systems any more

Is it wise to keep them closed? Six of one and half a dozen of the other

If it's proper bi-di, then the If it wasn't signalled, then it wasn't bi-di. It would have been single line working.

In addition to this, it has to be and Underground station staffed by Underground staff. Make sure they put the 'All Rail' discount on it - not NR Only or TfL Rail

Trouble with Clapham, it wasn't obvious to the driver of the train which stopped whether there was a train ahead or not. You cannot just carry on if you don't know the state of the line ahead

The emergency services gave the site back Friday night. It's RAIB. They don't have the staff

Bus companies are generally paid a lump sum per hour to accept tickets

Probably, it hasn't uploaded from whereever the main source of data is, no one's noticed or doesn't know where to find the information

And the examinations have been that malicious that it has got to this stage for this to happen. What is mandated, and what happens in real life, are two different things .

It would have been much worse had it not been a Sunday. But then the defect would not have been noticed had it not been a Sunday

I think they need to deal with the trains which should be running before they can start looking at running extras

Stranded stock. Cannot get to a depot.

There has been some wording added to this year's boxes - 'valid for leisure travel only'. This has caused confusion within LU, who think this means it is a Leisure Staff Card, which is issued to non-safeguarded staff. If you're on Facebook, you will find in the Rail Staff Travel group umpteen...

I presume there's ticket acceptance on TfL services?

That depends on when you started working for them - if it was pre-1996, you would be safeguarded, so would have got free mileage. Is that what you mean? If so, that wouldn't apply here

A TfL staff pass is only valid on TfL services (plus some other interavailable routes, such as the Thameslink core). Calling it a Travelcard is wrong, as it's not a Travelcard. And saying it's only valid in Zones 1-6 is also wrong, as it's valid on TfL services, some of which extended outside...

You may find, due to shift times, the first/last trains to/from HUR aren't suitable, so could ask for a season also available at Redhill or somewhere on the Brighton Mainline (or a HUR should be valid at Purley, due to the Whyteleafe/Upper Warlingham interchange which has a 24 hour service)

I suspect the driver would just wave you on

First class has been an issue for decades, where trains with first class areas are used on services which do not have first class, and indeed first class fares do not even exist. It just introduces another area for conflict between staff and those with anti-social tendancies, and also causes...

Perhaps, rather than DOO, trains on routes where every train does not have a second member of staff rostered, should be the definition
