To start with, it is ONLY for those seeking a new job, if you are not in that bracket, you dont need one, we are told it will 'stop' the boats ! However an MP did say in an interviewm before backtracking a bit, that it will form the bedrock of further intergration

Sensible move, better to cancel in advance than do it suddenly on the day, and find you have a train or 3 stranded with a blocked line.

Isnt a driving licence, provisional or otherwise with the the wrong address, and used as ID another offence that if caught can land you with a hefty fine ?

Possible points failure, or maybe a track circuit failure,, we were supposed to stop the train at CO1 and expalin to the Driver the circumstances, anything longer than a 4 car, caused a few issues, we needed to ensure the station staff were at the right place on P1 to stop anyone trhying to get...

I agree, Intl is of course 3 hours, and domestic 2 hours both minimum times, and yes if you know there is engineering and a bus allow at least another hour+

I guess the other thing would be was it a domestic flight or International flight ?

Remember the one years (and years) ago at Reedham Jct ? in the siding at the back of the box, all went well, until the 31 didnt see the signal was 'on' and promptly derailed, needing a real 'rescue' to rerail it !

Had he not paid straight away it would have been 90 Euros, and then if not paid 375 Euros !

Sometimes staff shortages are simply because no one wants the job. (but that is going off at a tangent and not for this thread)

Trowse Lower Junction: Main Line is towards Wymondham, and the 'branch' is towards Diss, also has a mileage change there too

You wouldn't get greens into the station anyway, the last signal will be a single yellow, and in the London area at least, with 4 aspect signalling, the previous would be a double yellow

Having watched the latest episode, we said the same, or at least when they do a block on multiple gates BTP should also be there, real Police, not PCSO's saw a prgramme that featured Dutch ticket evaders, one was being a pain, so Police called, arrived swiftly, arrested, cuffed and carted off !

moderator note - split from: Channel 5, and its a good series, how on earth the TOCs get staff to do the job, when you see the abuse they get and physical threats.

'Assistance protection'

But this is a second hand report, the person posting is not the person involved, so the words used in the post are probably not exactly what was said at the time, could have been a suggestion to appeal, and there is a chance it may succeed, may not have said good chance, its like chinese...

It will sit the train at the last signal until the route bcomes available.

Yes have to agree, when I worked it was very 'signaller orientated', some also liked to give each driver a call, although that was mainly in the less busy parts of the centre, think some didnt trust the system to work correctly either ! By the time I left, most BSR's were pre-planned and wired...

When I was working, the Signallers when advised by Control of a BSR, used to do a berth triggered GSMR broadcast. (GEML)
