Why should they (the passengers) be prosecuted for Criminal Damage when they are presently scared for their lives. The more important questions to be asked as a result of this incident is: 1) What did LU Station Staff do at the point the first call point was activated on the platform? Did they...

What i found strange over the previous 3 days was why the to/from Newbury Park buses were going to Snaresbrook Station (adding at times an extra 10 minutes) to an already lengthy journey to Stratford, given the Woodford bound buses were also calling at Snaresbrook as well? Anyone have any...

Anyone got update as to when the first train may be seen out on the tracks?

The Central Line fleet is filthy and doesnt seem to have been cleaned for years now

However tube staff are striking for what reason when they are well paid, infact far better than the striking TOC staff who earn on average 10k less than the tube staff and do far more work than tube staff who just hide in the office for most of their shift

Any livery where the main colour is a light colour is a terrible livery, like the old Greater Anglia livery on the ex BR stock. With SE, the livery on the networkers is terrible compared to the old NSE livery which suited the trains better. With the 376s, the old Connex livery has basically...

Thats weird cos I've been on many Central Line carriages where the announcements don't actually play but do in neighbouring carriages as you can hear them when at a station so there is trains running where the announcements are semi operational on the trainb

More than likely they will be painted in the same colours as the 375s and 707s have

Likely for flexibility incase of any engineering works between Colchester and Norwich

Hers are the best announcements going, when they replaced her announcement on the C stock they lost their charm as they were the best ones, no other announcer since has done them as well as she did, they've all become more robotic in their nature rather than sounding like an actual human, I only...

Problem with air con trains is when the Aircon fails, it can be unbearable on the carriage. Also on some tocs they switch the heating on too early esp tfl so the trains do become stuffy which can be compensated by an opening window to get some fresh air into the train as in the UK we have an...

Try parts of London where there's still NSE branding about to this day

Emma Clarke is the one whose voice does the bulk of the Central Line announcements isn't it? Cos out of the 2 voices used on the Central Line, the older announcements are much better than the add on ones which just sound robotic like the updates ie at Stratford which aren't nice at all

The 376s really need toilets fitting to them, would alleviate the late night urination that happens in them due to there being no toilet. Air con will likely be costly given the age of the trains and with most units usually in service with only a couple on spare, can SE take a train away for...

Even the Aventras take design elements from the Networkers too

If the 165/166 setup is anything like a 465/466 setup then there is a key slot a guard can use for them to be able to release the doors using the controls within the cab, as the key used to open the cab door leading to the passenger compartment on 465s can be used to control the doors on the...

I thought a big reason for the works done to Ilford Depot was due to Crossrail as surely some maintenance has been done at the depot there to date, given Bombardier built new works at Ilford for Crossrail

Difference between shipping and aviation is that aviation pollution is emitted at the skies most fragile part unlike cars, ships and trains where the emissions are far more dispersed by the time they reach that part of our skies. The aviation industry boomed from the 70s onwards and are the...

Problem with the Central Line fleet is for trains that are nearly 30 years since their introduction (1993 to 1995) the stock has never had any major works done on then yet to fix the problems with the flooring inside the trains, the outerbodies were mostly changed back before the 2012 Olympics...

Central Line is a busier route and operates daily, the Waterloo and city is a smaller fleet that is easier to manage any seating issues as its only 5 trains compared to 85 on the Central Line The Central Line also runs through rougher areas hence why the windows are likely to be vandalised more...
