Now if i had £100 on that i would of probably got a ticket for the Deltic, rather then wait 5 minutes outside Camden Road waiting for the deltic whilst working a service to Clapham Junction. Getting back on topic though Arsenals next game is away against Udinese and then they travel up the M6...

Well buddy its going to your best time to do it, Arsenal have two suspensions and four injuries, players who want to leave, no captain, a manager who seems scared to go into the transfer market, a boardroom in disaray, fans seemingly upset about the way the club is being run. What a better time...

Can you explain to me in English the coded messages. So you complained and got a response from South Eastern Trains, once again why do you feel the need to rport this on a internet forum when you know exactly what answer your going to get. For a start you know as well as i do that whn you ask...

How very interesting. You missed a train because the train left early, yet confronted the Conductor at the next station!. Now i have been accused of lots of things on here, stupidity isnt one of them. Now unless you was either Superman or Harry Potter there is no way you could have missed the...

Does that mean that on £26,000 salary mean i am middle class? A guard on a train being middle class dont make me laugh, a person on a ticket barrier earning £18,000 being middle class, dont make me laugh, cleaners working for John Laing Infrastructure services earning less then the London Living...

I am not excusing the looting that went on but is it any wonder why people do such things when unemployment is so high This from the extreme left wing bias BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14555264 and this from the paper whoose slogan is 'No FT, No Comment...

I see that Arsenal struggled to beat Udinese 1-0 in the champs league qualifier. I think Arsenal with the current squad (less Nasri as he will be going to that other club that we are a feeder to Man City, the other being Barcalona) will not sustain a run in either the premier league and the...

Typical of the Sun, saying it was a Train guard on a Driver Only Opearted service.

Yes its called a Guard! When we arrive at say Willesden Low Level from Stratford on the last two services at night. The Guard often has the doors closed before the driver has taken his key out.

They are ok, but a nightmare to keep time with. You can more or less run them on time if you work from the rear cab, but if you work from within the train, you will lose time quickly. Due to the doors being slow once you have pressed the close door button to the slow accelaration the trains...

No it wasnt BR, it was Silverlink who wanted Pacers. The ones they wanted where the units that were dumped at Doncaster (i think they eventually ended up in Iran)for about 3 years. When the reps were told by silverlink that they were planning to get pacers we said have have tried riding on one...

Hmmmm, i wonder!

By the time the line is electrified the class 172s will not be new any more and will probably be well on their way to a midlife overhaul. So sending class 172s to a company that may not exist when the Goblin is electrified is hardly going to impress on the passengers of the ares where they will...

The most overated, the most polluting, couldnt pull skin of a rice pudding class 31. Give me a pacer anyday.

The first time i remember going on a train was when i was about 5. It was a school outing from Highbury and Islington to Kew Gardens on a class 501. My first trip that i can remember on a tube was a 1938 stock Northern City Line service going from Essex Road to Drayton Park.

A very common thing like this happens daily at Willesden Junction:evil:! This is very annoying and a lot of it is down to passenger ignorance. It is the all about me culture that persists in society, i know lets ignore the repeated station announcements, lets ignore the on train automated...

Form one means you are in the the thick brown stuff! Me and others try to get you out of it!

I have seen every conceivable thing a human can produce on a train. On one occasion whilst i was working a train in the 1980s and i was walking through i caught one guy just reaching his climacticus maxi mus just as i was walking past, i dont know who was embarrassed more me or him! On another...

This is a ploy by the unions because of the cost of running a ballot. When a ballot is run they will ask for direct strike action and for action short of a strike. At the time they do not need to list what the action short of strike is, that will be done after a bollot has been run, and it...
