    Severe Alert from the UK Government

    I got a new phone earlier this year and forgot the settings for these wouldn't carry across. I think I've done it now...? Screenshot below showing what I hope are all the necessary settings to disable the alerts on my new phone.

    Impact of Lewes derailment on Southern fleet availability

    Isn't everything built with integral construction these days, though? The term is generally used to mean no separate underframe, with the bodyshell providing the structural strength. The Pendolinos are made with extrusions but the basic structural principles are the same - there's no separate...

    Stopgap options to cover for delays to introduction of Class 810 for EMR?

    They are, yes - but the six spares being talked about ( 221 101 to 221 106 ) are all 5 car versions aren't they?

    Stopgap options to cover for delays to introduction of Class 810 for EMR?

    The problem there is the 220s are only 4 cars, with a high proportion of that space wasted, whereas the 221s are at least 5 cars?

    Signal Berth Codes approaching Waterloo on OTT and Traksy

    A word of caution if using these platform indications to get to the correct side of a busy train to get off quickly at Waterloo - I have known the platform allocations to change at the last moment, especially if the train is held at the last signal out from the station... so wait until then...

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    701 029 is showing up on RTT on the 5Q21 / 5Q22 circuit which finishes at Clapham Yard this afternoon, so might be worth keeping a close eye on for the evening peak... https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L86161/2026-08-11/detailed#allox_id=0...

    Budget hotels discussion

    It's not a new instance; it's the sentencing of the abuser who tricked his way into his victim's room four years ago which started the whole debate about room security in the first place.

    Why is TfL's web site rubbish

    A few months ago they got rid of the very clear weekend engineering works Tube map from the website and you now have to scroll through and open up a list, which is not always very clearly written, instead of being able to see at a glance which lines are affected on a given weekend.

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    What's the betting that ironically the last one out will be 701 028...?

    Seaspeed hovercraft

    It probably does... and don't forget that when introduced, the original departure point for the Jetfoil was St Katharine's Dock in London. I'm not sure if that was only ever intended to be temporary until the Ramsgate facilities were ready, or if it was simply very quickly* found to be...
