Don't know, but it could be related to the recent changes (effective from today!) to pricing of non-geographic numbers (08, 09, 118). (See http://ukcalling.info) Regardless of the thinking behind it, it's great news as it'll now be part of bundled minutes for most callers. Edit: the old...

Electricity doesn't really work that way. The route through the 377 has to go through the engine and isn't that good a path to earth (or it wouldn't do any work moving the train in the process). It may draw sufficient current to cause a slight voltage drop on that section of third rail, but it...

That would be 02:13AM Pacific Time, the default for twitter unless you set your timezone in your profile settings. It happened this morning and the tweet was sent at 10:13AM.

...Huh?

There appear to be definitions of large and slow in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (at the bottom): http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/3113/regulation/16/made large: over 18.75m long, 2.9m wide or 44T MGW slow: up to 5mph Those definitions agree with the signage...

Perhaps it's because... http://youtu.be/hHkKJfcBXcw

To be fair, there's a bit of a foreshortening effect. He clearly walks up to the line, looks right, sees the train, crosses relatively briskly, then carries on walking. He's well clear of the line and on the other side of the barrier by the time the train comes. Still stupid, though.

Really? Because I can't see what other issue you've constructed. And it's nothing to do with "entitled to" take them, it's more about whether they are "required to". I think that was more a suggestion as to what was actually the case, regardless of how it was expressed to you, by a no doubt...

There's also the tram.

If it's an "Any Permitted" ticket, are they really East Coast passengers?

He is correct. Legal tender is basically irrelevant for day to day transactions. http://www.royalmint.com/aboutus/policies-and-guidelines/legal-tender-guidelines

I'm still trying to understand why people are treating this as criticism of the railway industry. It's a report of something that happened!

The fact that it is a rail replacement bus seems relevant, if only because the passengers on the bus never intended to get on a bus. And having "suffered" their train being replaced by a bus, it too ran into problems. I see absolutely no problem with the headline...

If you can confuse a bus for a bicycle, regardless of the lights it is displaying, you probably shouldn't be on the roads!

Works for me...

Even if it was treated as a single "area" for isolation purposes, just fed independently for reliability?

That doesn't explain why you bought a single, rather than a return *before* you got on the train and thought about it. When you bought the ticket either you thought you needed an additional ticket - a return; or you thought you didn't need a ticket at all; or you could've asked someone about...
