    Madrid Metro Line 10 - Tres Olivos

    Hi all. I have been trying to understand why on the Line 10 of the Madrid Metro, if one wants to travel past Tres Olivos, they must change trains here. I remember seeing the 'Change of train' symbol on the maps when visiting the city in 2008, and just stumbled on it again. A video on YouTube...

    Thameslink - Slow speed Blackfriars to Streatham

    So I don't suppose there are plans to untangle any of these areas?

    Thameslink - Slow speed Blackfriars to Streatham

    I remember this too, but I think an MP stopped this from occurring. Even if loop services were to terminate at Blackfriars, wouldn't this be pointless due to the restrictions of the infrastructure you've mentioned? Indeed, the TL Sevenoaks service spends a lot of time in platform 3.

    Thameslink - Slow speed Blackfriars to Streatham

    Thank you! Would you say that this is a bigger restriction compared to the single line at Wimbledon, for why the loop has a limited service?

    Thameslink - Slow speed Blackfriars to Streatham

    Hello, I often take the TL from BFR to WIM. For a while, an incredibly annoying thing that I've realised is the very slow speed trains run at between Blackfriars and Streatham, particularly around Lougborough Junction, Herne Hill & Tulse Hill Just out of interest, what is the reason for this...

    Thameslink meltdown 02/10

    I am currently on a bus from Farringdon to Blackfriars. Arrived at ZFD from Moorgate on the H&C line (which was also experiencing severe delays), only to hear an announcement saying that there were no southbound Thameslink services from Farringdon. Apparently this is due to a fire on a train...

    Class 345 progress

    AIUI they will be operated by TfL. The Class 360s are owned by HAL, not Heathrow Express. I'm sure they must have agreed to this otherwise the contingency plan wouldn't be in existence in the first place?

    Southern Class 377/6 DVA

    Having travelled on these units a few times during the Christmas holiday, I was wondering whether the DVA is intentionally set up to simply announce the name of the station as soon as the doors open. For example, when the doors opened today at Clapham Junction, the DVA says "Clapham Junction...
