I'm wondering if there is a case to open the third tunnel at Kings Cross. It seems like it is in good condition. Is there a case for it. What would it cost amongst many pondering questions.

This thread is about in-carriage advertising on trains. The only operator, or route rather, that does this is Southeastern High Speed. Why is this the only set to do so (maybe it is a new model of train, planned in mind) but my questions are: How much does that raise (I suspect it is small...

Imagine that! I would love new rolling stock. Although I get to use Class 390, 395, 185, 375s and if I am desperate PACERs. Yuk!

Can any of you explain how the UK bus network is run in simple terms? I totally understand rail franchises, but I've never grasped the bus network. I've heard various things including councils subsidise price per passenger - dishing out contracts at a loss. I'm confused! Help!

Surely if their design is no longer acceptable for crash standards - they should be pulled from service (If I was the Daily Mail) Who makes these rulings? If there is any link?

With the well document problems of the Class 380, I pondered the inevitable. Why with such a reliable, and fairly new stock class, the Class 350, was it not ordered for Scotland? Surely it would cost less than buying/leasing brand spanking new rolling stock model. Well, not that I am...

Always one hour - should be sufficent with the passenger numbers on the Kent Coast line, BUT - two mainline services an hour would meet demand, especially at the likes of Deal station with half a million passengers a year - still not close to Dover Priory's numbers.

At least I am partially vindicated - or feel it. I was subject to much abuse from southeastern commuters earlier, despite being one myself. However, does my arguement about pathing and other various things stack up?

Are some of the proposals realistic? As a Kent rail user, thus, Southeastern traveller I've always had a good service on mainline and high speed services - (not used metro for a long time). I would more often or not argue delays on the SER network arise from pathing issues, Network Rail...

Just a note for everyone, Google Earth have taken new ariel shots of stations such as the Kings Cross area. Looks rather good.

I saw this on Twitter: Virgin Trains to start trialling new 'Smart' card at various West Coast Mainline stations in the North West. Interesting. Anyone got more info

It seems hideous with the amount of money being spent, despite the increase in thru platform capacity handling per hour, the terminus platforms are being reduced. Yes, money is always an issue but if it recommissoned all three piers rather than just the one, could it bring back one or two...

Following on from this BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12480813 - many moons back, it stated that part of the new station was being constructed on the former redundant piers But, firstly, I wasn't aware of that, plus the fact the station capacity will be reduced to four, a...

Whats going on at Waterloo and at rush hour, christ.

In terms of being abstractive. Does this mean the benefits towards Grand Central is too low, i.e. 0.3 (the number quoted in the document) OR 0.3 is the ratio to which the revenue would be taken away from the existing operator on the WCML

Between two londons stations first class I got £999,998.00 (I even have a picture) But they refused tos ell it to me on National Rail online on the grounds it was faulty.

TMs will not issue vouchers. Union demands etc. Want more commission + money.
