    Computer Help Required - E-Mail

    Same here, my ISP was BT and I switched just over 18 months ago, and my BT email accounts are still all active.

    FCC Thameslink... Getting to the point of Enough is Enough

    I'm with Bald Rick on this one - if only FCC could consistently crack the communications we'd all be able to plan around or avoid disruptions effectively.

    Cricklewood

    .. and then trimmed back at some point for the Brent Cross Cricklewood development: http://www.brentcrosscricklewood.com/pages/04indicativelayout/masterplan.html, which also involves a relocation of the waste recycling facility to the west side.

    Odd/otherwise unheard of workings as a result of incidents

    I recollect a number of years ago, pre-privatisation, an all stations to Sheffield from St Pancras. It was a HST, and I recollect it as Kentish Town, West Hampstead, Cricklewood, Hendon and so on. This was after a bad storm which meant the wires were down for the Thameslink electrics...

    No more 8 carriage trains to Moorgate?

    Not on Saturdays or Sundays, at least not in in the last 10-20 years before closure - except very occasionally when there was engineering work south of the river. In the run up to the closure of the branch, a good portion (75%+?) of services in the main peak ran as 8 cars. I recollect some 4...

    Automatic Ticket Barriers at Harpenden - What's the Point ?

    That's what used to happen, they would be there en-masse particularly in the early evening. The barriers were operating this evening at 6:15pm when I was there dropping passengers off. A possible theory is that the barriers are in use when FCC think there are plenty of outward journeys (eg...

    Do FCC 319's/377's... at Harlington?

    There are peak Sutton / Wimbledon loop services that call at these stations, but off-peak they only run as far as Luton (2 per hour) or St Albans (2 per hour). There are some FCC peak services that do not stop at Harlington and Leagrave. All, or virtually all, stop at Flitwick. A common...

    Heaters on trains...

    The 319s are the same as most ex BR stock - either 'on' or 'off' - and only the Depot can change this, and I think they have to dismantle parts of the heating system to do it - nothing as simple as a switch!

    Cable Theft

    Per FCC at their recent Stakeholder event, reducing cable theft is the number 2 priority for BTP (after terrorism)

    Holt Connections

    Agreed - one of the two platforms terminates at the buffer stop, but the other is some way back (this is the one used normally - it has the station buildings next to it). It is probably 150 yard/metres from the buffer stops. As is the way, depending on the platform you arrive at, you want to...

    St Pancras to Dungeness via HS1 and RH&DR

    Hythe station is in the Folkestone PlusBus zone so that's another way to avoid the high fares. There are more buses if you go Folkestone Central Station > Bus Station > Hythe; there is a less frequent direct service, but it goes round the houses

    Can someone help with my wi-fi?

    If the iPod Touch and the Netbook connect with a good signal strength when right next to the desktop, then that suggests it could be a problem with the desktop; if none of them work then it is more likely to be a lack of signal. Also, try moving the adapter - get a USB extension cable (like...

    Class 377 at Hornsey Now

    Not sure of the 377/4 layout, but the 377/5 sound very similar: the end coaches are 2+2 for 2/3 of the length + first class (also 2+2) between the driver's cab and the first set of doors. At least one of the the 3+2 centre coaches has a section at the end with 2+2 (no arm rests, though)...
