They did in my day. Been there, got the t-shirt etc. Please drive from Buckinghamshire to Solihull and unlock the station.

That's the level of mess I feared we might be in. Yet another thing to be sorted out and brought to parity by GBR, eventually. 1740928373 Agreed on all points. 1740928546 That is one way of looking at it. Another is that it would make the railway accessible to a broader range of passengers and...

Children used to be sent up chimneys...

You can indeed suggest it. It doesn't reflect particularly well on you, but you are free to say it. My reaction, after many years in this industry, is that we could and should do much better than this.

I suspect it is more likely to be a bespoke EWR livery rather than Chiltern livery though.

Not a nitpick at all. It all seems rather discriminatory.

There is a polite way of doing it, but more pertinently, a correct time to do it; i.e. at the time of booking.

A family member recently had a issue with a booked "assist" at a London Northwestern station. She was travelling with luggage and a baby in a pram and required help with the luggage whilst changing trains. She was met by two members of station staff on arrival, who took one look at the pram and...

Presumably something of a faff to arrange though? Given the issues upthread.

Not sure a 68 set can stop at West Ruislip. It's only a 6-car platform so you'd have the loco and the DVT hanging off either end. If the guard's door is just on the platform it might work, but there certainly isnt a car stop board in situ to facilitiate this.

Sneak peak instead of sneak peek.

An awful disaster indeed. I have a fragment from one of the piers.

Six pages in and still people are trying to defend the indefensible. It doesn't matter whether Borgeoise was in the right or in the wrong. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the provocation there is no excuse for this sort of aggressive approach. Neither this staff member nor anyone on here...

There are some activities that cannot be interrupted by remembrance day silences, and the operation of train services is one of them. It is a matter of practicality, not lack of respect.

As a general rule TfL, or at least the Underground part of it, has tended to be more relaxed about what goes on in cabs than is the case on most TOCs. I remember being very surprised to find out a decade or so ago that LU drivers could apply to have family/friends join them for a cab ride. I...

No, the destination font size is unchanged. It just leaves the number field blank.

You can suppress the route number (on Chiltern units at least) by entering "00" as the first two digits. It just comes up blank on the display.

If you need to go, you need to go. If that causes a delay than that's unfortunate but unavoidable, and you won't be taken to task for it. Deliberate dehydration is a very bad idea. I guess if you have chronic, severe bladder issues your suitability for the job may be questioned, but for people...

Princes Risborough has them facing the C&PRR platform, hidden behind the Chiltern nameboards.

There are four subclasses of 168, and the seating layout differs between them. The 168/1s and 1682/s have a basically similar layout. The 168/0s have several differences, particularly in the way the seats are arranged in the non-driving vehicle ends. The 168/3s were originally specified by...
