North London Line screwed up at lunchtime due to an earlier failed unit at Finchley Road & Frognal. What can go wrong with an EMU?

Can two people sharing the same Netflix account but currently several miles apart both watch Netflix at the same time (separate profiles)?

I was led to believe that a London-Leeds Season was also valid to Bradford. Got on a Northern train at Leeds around three months ago to go to Bradford. Conductor insisted that my London-Leeds Season had no validity and gave me a PF. PF appeal has just been refused.

If a stretch of track has a permanent 40 mph speed limit, what would need to be done to the track to allow a higher line speed? To most of us with no connection to the industry, one stretch of track looks much like any other.

I have a good friend who is unfortunately always looking for loopholes to save himself money. He moved into a studio flat around 12 years ago and when he received his first communication from the water company, he didn't open it. Instead he sent it back with a note on the envelope that the...

The East Lincolnshire Line was once a busy main line, particularly in the summer months with holiday expresses to Cleethorpes. I have just watched two "cab ride" videos on YouTube. One showed a journey from Peterborough to Lincoln via Spalding and the second a journey between Lincoln and...

They seem to be in the middle of nowhere, a little way north of Holme Junction where the triple track ECML reduces to double track. Is any use made of these crossovers?

Which station on the network was the first to be officially designated as "unmanned". I am assuming that aside from "Halts" which are more stopping places than stations, British Rail did not really have unmanned stations. Even Berney Arms once had staff, nearby station cottages and even a...

A couple rent out two rooms in their home. They just kicked out one guy because he opened a letter addressed "The Legal Occupier". The letter was from TV Licensing advising the opening of an investigation into that address. Did the guy deserve to be kicked out or were the couple wrong to kick...

Just wondering how drivers, both suburban and long distance, feel when they're cruising along without a care in the world when they suddenly see this 60-year old green coloured train coming towards them looking like it's escaped from the old Southern Region. Plenty of videos on it on YouTube but...

At what point north of Elstree & Borehamwood (MML) and north of Hadley Wood (ECML) i.e. outside London do the two lines come in closest proximity to each other. Putting it another way, which MML station provides the shortest connection by mileage to an ECML station

Surely an Oyster 60+ is fully valid for this journey yet my neighbour was told by a ticket seller at Finsbury Park that she couldn't go past London Bridge with it. He was happy to sell her a ticket from London Bridge to East Croydon but she decided not to bother with her intended journey.

Being totally bored on a cold, wet and very dark Tuesday afternoon, I decided to add some text to an interesting 1966 Hitchcock picture including as many Hitchcock movie titles as I could think of.

Bowes Park springs to mind as a station which cannot be reached by a rail replacement bus service, a station accessed by passengers only via a public footbridge. There is no station frontage on the street. Are there any similar stations which cannot be served by rail replacement buses?

If the driver of a northbound LNER service heading for Newcastle, having departed from Doncaster, realized his train had been directed onto the Wakefield/Leeds line, what course of action would be required?
