    How does the smartcard works on the buses?

    Does the bus have a live link to satellite so it checks the tickets in realtime? Or it just stores the info and it will be extracted at depot so it can be processed? If latter, how does the bus will know if that card has zero balance or is invalidated?

    Brum Metro... How the hell does one to extend from BSW to BHM?

    The approach to BSW terminus on metro is few feet below the street level. If they extend it to BHM, they would have to tunnel it to the street level or they would have build a very steep slope to street level. I don't know how this can be done. Unless they're planning to do this at...

    Tube train delays... What exactly do they mean?

    I've been wondering what exactly do 'delays' on tube train status board mean... It can't be normal delay as most tube trains are every 3-5 minutes during the weekdays. If it was delayed, then you would get on the train that was supposed to be earlier but delayed. If it wasn't you'd get on...

    I can see some tracks that was removed. I only saw it between Tyseley to Solihull. I think there are spaces for about 2 more tracks. Is it true that line originally had 4 tracks?
