Lots of nightclubs and similar scan your ID on the door these days - when I lived near a University going to one of their nights required an ID to be scanned for entry (at the time, I had a CitizenCard which although they said was not accepted, they put it through the machine and it recognised...

I don't see it as likely. There are no "slow lines" through Weedon so it would be either a lot of work to make a loop of some sort (or a huge impact on available trains that could run), for a station where it is less than 10 minutes drive to Long Buckby and Northampton is also easy to access...

There was (and for 75 minutes or so, is) no requirement for facemasks and 3/4 or so of the seats were covered in bright yellow sashes indicating they were not to be used. That is not consistent with the message you have just said. Not that I disagree with what you have said, sooner or later, it...

Same, until I did a hard refresh (press Ctrl+F5)!

By and large, yes. I am also impressed at how in general people have been abiding by the rules. However, I have seen photos on multiple occasions of people disregarding the social distancing measures on trains, we all know how busy Blackpool was the other weekend, I saw a photo of a 195 with at...

ScotRail (and some other TOCs no doubt) are placing the onus on the passenger - if YOU think it is unsafe, then please don't board. Of course, that will never work as everyone is far too selfish and their journey is more important than everyone else's!

The EU define it in Directive 2001/14/EC as: There is a fairly short Wikipedia article about the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_path

I know at least one is in use on the Luton Airport shuttle, until the proper link opens at least... https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomcrippstrains/39815594775

No doubt you are well experienced in getting new technology to frontline staff, with the intricacies of working out which software to choose, whether that aligns with the software/hardware providers you already use (avoiding yet ANOTHER company to purchase a support contract with), making sure...

Often you don't want to know - usually involving unwanted bodily fluids such as blood in places you don't want them! This time however, it is not quite as interesting: "Cleaner required at New Street to attend to broken glass in the carriage." I wouldn't have guessed that to be honest.

Summary of WMT and other nearby operators' changes:

With the Explorer ticket (£9 for a day) you can go all the way from Reading to Milton Keynes to Colchester! A bit of a weird ticket as it is designed to be for almost all buses in Hertfordshire, but Arriva stretch the boundary "slightly" to include a huge area... I myself did Milton Keynes -...

Surely doesn't matter if it's "a few miles" or a hundred metres, if there's no room there's no room!

What do you mean by "metronised"? Just because you come up with a nice-sounding word doesn't change the laws of physics, the tracks are full up as it is as any improvements that could have been made have already happened. What specifically would you want to see from TfL taking over these lines...

The problem is that there is so much work that goes on when lines are open and to close the line while e.g. a track patrol takes place would mean having to sacrifice services somewhere on a frequent basis, all across the country. And people are always comparing the British railways to ones on...

This was one thing I am still waiting for. I have followed the rules and not seen my parents for two months now, I also live alone! Similarly, I've spoke to people a lot over the internet for work, leisure and family but it isn't the same... I do appreciate it is not the right time now and...

Simplifying it could result in less work getting done without more line closures, however.

Surely every Saturday night - Sunday morning there is an effective overnight blockade? The first trains were replaced by buses so I suspected something was going on. May take a wander down later to see!

With a Bank Holiday on a Friday, I think if an announcement were to have been made today removing any restriction, it would have caused all hell to break loose this weekend. Tomorrow, being a Bank Holiday, would be just as weird as Sunday. Probably best, if there IS any easing, for it to be...

And the other reason that was quoted at the start of the lockdown as to why you shouldn't aimlessly drive around all day every day; you might get into an unrelated accident, have to go to hospital, then contract the virus and whatever follows that... Definitely, a big shock that was to many! I...
