Considering your current job, you have the "Safety before punctuality before economy" mindset, you can work in a safety critical environment according to the rules and procedures under stress and you should at least be reasonably fit. If you can sell that reasonably well during the application...

It's all down to business and their key to success. The Braun twins are nothing short of PR experts (they managed to become Germany's top tourist attraction with a "model railway" after all) and know that people are most valuable when they are having a good time. As their target audience is the...

For me (living in Duisburg, Germany), it's the freight only line to the local steelworks about 1.58 km (slightly less than a mile) away from home at its closest point. Yet, I have been a passenger inside the steelworks itself when they had an open day about fifteen years ago. In the UK, it...

Regauging the whole network to 5ft (1524mm) gauge without altering the loading gauge should take the cake being an enormous undertaking with an astronomical price tag and no use whatsoever.

Getting those tunnels into a state suitable for running normal-sized tube trains (the C&SLR was using a smaller loading gauge) and up to modern safety standards is unlikely to be more economical than a new purpose-built tunnel. If any existing tunnels were to be used for such a project, the...

The unrefurbished class 75 EMUs have a rather stylish first class straight from the 1970s.

The DB fare system is based on fixed prices for each journey (the so-called "Relationspreise"), which are not only based on distance but also on factors such as "comfort" and speed (Cologne to Frankfurt via the shorter high-speed line is more expensive than via the significantly slower but...

I think a lot more people would use Ronaldsway Halt, if they knew about it. It is neither listed on the official website of the airport nor signposted from there and it could be far better advertised in the railway's publications too. There is no need to rebrand/rebuild it into "Ronaldsway...
