To confirm, the signalling has been designed to allow terminating trains from the South. It's limited, in that trains from Royston must use platforms 3 and 4 as there is no crosover to allow them to get into platforms 1 or 2 northbound. similarly, trains from Shelford must use platforms 1 or 2...

230? (The TfW BEMU one I think)

There's a areaosnably sized area within the Hobsons Park side building that is reserved for a separate unit of some kind. When I left the project (about 10 months ago now!) no decision had been made re what or who was to occupy it. Note - It opened onto the park, with no opening into the station...

That section is definately wired too. Yes, we've had an Elizabeth Line train use it just after Easter.

This is the only thing I can think of. Makes sense.

Groan! I got the 'say yes' reference (Yeah, I'm old enough!). Very good!

The bridge is fully unrestricted, but all it does is connect the island platforms with platform 4. Anyone can use it to change between platforms and/or do train spotting etc! There's then a completely separate emergency exit off platform 4 into Hobsons park. That one does have gates of course...

It's a "Secondary Means of Evacuation" footbridge, specifically there to give people on the island platform a second way out in an emergency. It crosses to platform 4 only where passengers will then have a small walk along platform 4 to the emergency exit. The bridge will be open and available...

Good to see it's started. Thanks!

Just watched it myself. Agreed - That's quite incredible. I expected there to be at least blackened areas, broken glass, and water damage but it looks absolutely fine. Wow! Having said that, appearences can be quite deceptive. I daresay the high temperatures may have caused some expansion of...

A minor detail!! :lol:

So every driver has to manually edit this for every run? Oof, no wonder it's being missed/forgotten/ignored by some drivers, especially if running late. Wow!

I commute on the London to cambridge route 4 days per week. Quite a few trains have been saying that! Not sure what's gone wrong in their systems but it always raises some eyebrows when it comes up!

Having seen what I assume is the same internal source that you have, I can confirm that there is a document internally with that date in it, but it also had a lot of caveats on it, and said that it was the earliest anticipated date. Still, it's good progress. I can also confirm I know some of...

Ah, sorry, yes! Footsteps coming out of the trains is a bit different! 1770287875 Gap fillers were considered as part of the option selection process, but were discounted at the completion of that process. The option being taken forward is: - Slab track - No gap filler, i.e. solid coper edge...

Gap fillers are themselves prblemattic though. If you are talking about mechanical gap fillers that extend from the platform, fab, but: - How do they interface with different trains? - How do you know they have retracted before allowing the train to leave and tell the driver this? - If the...

There's a key issue though - Fitting legacy stock into a system is one thing, but building a whole new stattion from scratch and then building in issues such as the step down is not neccesarily anywhere near as acceptable neccesarily. The bakerloo line does set a precedent, absolutely, but...

Whilst I'm not disabled I have met several disabled people and they all share a level of realism. Ideally assistance is booked and it all works great. Reality begs to differ... To their credit, GWR, TFL, GTS, and Network Rail, all have specific groups of disabled people who work with project...

Ah, fair. Yes, it has. The exact details, no, but the decision to procure low floor trains has absolutely been made. I believe there is a tendering exercise going on with manufacturers at present.

GWR are working on a tender to have low floor train displace the 165/166 and possibly the 387 fleets. Neither is to be scrapped - The 165/166 are to move Westwards within GWR. I don't know the plan for the 387s. It's part of a plan that was called "Project Churchward", and is now called "Green...
