A few reasons, all speculation in this particular case: -Potentially needing to take a line blockage on the other line to allow for safely diagnosing or fixing the fault to allow the train to be moved. -Or further along the problem possibly evacuating passengers with a train alongside the...

Sorry but I don't think this is true post 2018. I thought the changes to Police and Criminal Evidence Act Code C in 2018 (specifically PACE Code C 3.21A) brought about the requirement to offer independent legal advice before the commencement of any voluntary interview? If the body concerned has...

One of my pet hates as well, as much as QWERTY is a strange choice for a modern keyboard, as one of the previous posters noted, it is the one the majority of the population will now be used to. As an anecdote it not age related a couple of people in there 80's I know can touch type as fast as...

I've never read that condition as to your home; I've always interpreted it as getting you to the destination on your ticket (or combination of tickets) so generally the station to which you were travelling to. Which I think is the commonly held interpretation of the current Conditions of Travel...

I wouldn't count on that. My role, outside the railway, has a unique title and would absolutely be identifying as to who my employer is with a simple internet search. Having said that I agree that it is effectively meaningless to the TOC asking for payment, they aren't going to contact your...

You can't fit two tone horns to a vehicle, Section 99 (4) of the construction and use regs, so they can be done for that if fitted with a UK style two tone horn (its the regulation that prevents sirens being fitted to normal vehicles). I can't seem to find an actual limit on output for a single...

It reads much more like the driver will both open and close the doors. Interesting that the drivers will actually be closing the doors, after a 1-2 on the buzzer, and also be required to check the platform train interface using the cameras before they do so. Also doesn't mention the guard...

A really useful service for me even if it takes a very long time to get to Cardiff, may it long continue. Often produces a 158 as well which makes for a pleasant journey.

Possibly someone is thinking about sudden surges in passenger numbers e.g. when a show finishes at the Millennium Centre or even further ahead with the arena development looking like it will be completed before any extension towards Pierhead Street.

Ishihara is a screening test and isn't the deciding factor for being for example a ATPL qualified commercial pilot in the UK under Civil Aviation Authority rules or the EU under European Aviation Safety Authority rules. The CAA have been using the CAD (also known as the City University Test)...

It isn't an official TfW account so I wouldn't read to much into the accompanying text. Video does look like some progress is happening though. I'm curious what form of passive provision has been made for the Central to Bay tram line joining, couldn't spot anything in the video.

Like the one steadily decreasing in length on the A64 / York road as not enough buses now use it and a bus lane is seen as more useful? I did laugh when Cambridge opened and some of the press were calling it "a UK first." Honestly some of the Leeds bus routes are slightly changed versions of...

So I view this at two levels with one side comment. To get the side comment out of the way, a person does not have to be in possession of a firearm to present a lethal threat that can only be stopped by the use of lethal force. The continued media comments of Chris Kaba being unarmed are...

I think it would be possible but you would need quite a lot more partial electrification for charging on the move. Or it is going to require further development of rapid charging if you aren't going to build much more OLE. Using the FLIRT Akku as an example of something that should be possible...

There is definitely still a subculture of riding freight trains in mainland Europe, the longer distances and existence of mixed consist trains along with things like uncovered bauxite wagons in Eastern Europe make getting caught much less likely than in the UK. It is made much more open by...

The tram proposal doesn't need that much extra in terms of distance, from the station car park to after the road bridge on Herbert Street is under 750m. So with an allowance for a suitable length of ramp to match the height of the current line on its embankment something like 1km of new track...

The 7500ft limit has been proposed in legislation in several states before but never got to a vote and as previously mentioned wouldn't stand up to a challenge in federal court it really needs the Federal Railroad Administration to make a new rule preventing it. However, as with a lot of US...

It arguably could warrant further investigation for fraud offences but to be honest I doubt it would go anywhere without evidence of a pattern of usage. This wouldn't generally fall to an RPI to do on the train though. Penalty fare is invalid, a valid ticket was presented so Section 4 (1) of...

Which fundamentally shows that the short forming issue isn't ever likely to be resolved. It might get better or worse depending on the particular issues the 800 or 802 units are having but eventually as the units age it is only going to get worse. I completely accept that Agility will end up...

If it is talking about being brought into an integrated multi-model ticketing system then it would seem to make much more sense than being integrated in terms of a separate operator. I don't see anything in the announcement that talks about doing more than this. The idea that you could tap in...
