Sorry, I had a typo, either I somehow added a "not", or changed "now" to "not". Either way my apologies! TfL Rail services are running nicely. The 315s look nice and smart and even CLEAN! Inside too! Overground are tripping over themselves by the look of it - not admitting to no service at...

That won't be on a staff pass, as TfL don't yet control Southeastern metro services. However they could well have a 75% discount on a season ticket.

I phoned up the TfL press office yesterday and they said they didn't think there were any launch events. Seems a bit odd, but... On the subject of free train use by staff, all TfL staff will now be able to use the new TfL Rail and LO services for free, but, like with the South and West London...

Heathrow Express tickets are purple.

They were usually operated by solo 456s I believe, so they can't have been terribly busy.

Does anyone know where I can get a complete list of distances between adjacent stops (an ELR equivalent) for NET phase 2?

Republicans hate anything which isn't charging you a fortune to rip you off.

No doubt discovers that behind passengers' backs the staff consider the passengers generally contemptible. Like most customer service industries in fact.

Adobe Air is sort of similar to Flash, it's used by a variety of applications, including BBC iPlayer downloads.

The Divergent sequel film, Insurgent, had I think a four rail system in one place (think ABCD), all the same distance apart, the locomotive running on the central two rails (BC) and hauling two rakes of wagons (AB and CD).

On the Underground, if a driver reports a SPAD then they generally continue to the next relief point at which a replacement driver will take over the train and the SPADder will be taken for an interview.

This is a problem for all sorts of places, but notably motorsport venues. People buy houses near to a motorracing track, then complain that it's occasionally noisy. Eugh.

Battersea Park isn't exactly wide... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Battersea_Park_stn_main_line_fast_look_north.JPG

I'd say East Grinstead, but it's already electrified.

Was this one actually FGW's fault in terms of the connection? BRI is a Network Rail station nowadays, and the signallers don't work for FGW.

The problem is that a parliamentary service is rather a subjective term, so there is no possibility for stringent checks of what does and does not count. I personally write about Bristol stations on wiki, and am slowly getting them all to Good Article status when bored at work.

I never got on with Chrome, always preferred Firefox, though they do insist on bringing out an entirely new version every five minutes (version 3 lasted years). Internet Explorer has never actually been any good, it only had market share due to it being pre-installed.

I never had a problem with Voyagers - I used the XC HST sets mainly for their stopping pattern and openable windows. Not travelled much on Adelantes (244.14 miles), but never saw much wrong with them.

I see no problem with First Class on intercity trains, but on commuter stock? I don't see why people want to travel in a section when the only upgrade you get is an antimacassar on the head rest!

Points to the signaller for a good catch.
