    Pendolinos pantograph

    It's the same with using the frontmost Panto though isn't it? If ya use the first pantograph, the damage to the OHLE is surely going to be the same as compared to the back ?

    Dumb councillor confused over crossing lights failure

    Has anyone thought he could be referring to the fact that if the lights are flashing when they're not meant to be, it could blow more easily? Then when a train was coming, the lights wouldn't work? But then again - there are 2 sets of lights at each side of the crossing =/

    Who do you think Manages Leeds Station?

    I don't think anyone has posted their opinions on who runs it... Merely what they've heard... Which is what I heard, that Northern run it (paper and a guard at the station) The papers can be misinformed, but for a guard to say it is another story surely?
