Just a quick question, what happens to the OHL when there is a level crossing? Say if there was a lorry or a bus and it hit the line, it could be very dangerous. Or if the level crossing section had the OHL omitted and the train was travelling slowly it would get gapped. 3rd rail trains...

Does the Boris bus have open doors just like the old routemasters where you can hop on and hop off.

I was watching a program about Donald Trumph and his private jet which was going from La Guardia to Aberdeen, then onto Stansted. In the background I saw an easyjet flight take off, which I was very surprised about. Does anyone have any info on Easyjet and flights to NY?

I couldn't help wondering that over the Xmas period Piccadilly lines were diverted to Ealing Broadway. Also LU are inviting comments on stopping trains at intermediate stations between Hammersmith and Acton town. No new trains for the Piccadilly line have been ordered, and the 24 hour tube...

In France and in the US there are lockers at railway stations, but in the UK, I don't think there are any. The reason why I ask, is that I will be spending 6 hours in London before I go to Gatwick and don't want to lug my suitcase around. Are there any lockers? What if I ask the guys in the...

I noticed on google maps there is a spur just before Highbury an Islington that runs under corsica street that links the "east london Line" part of the london overground to the great northern. With further platforms being added to Finsbury park will any TOC run services using this connection...

On Sunday there was a poor service both on FCC and East Coast. Several trains were cancelled due to last minute engineering works. My question is is delay repay abandoned under these conditions. My journey took 70 minutes longer than normal and I feel that I should be compensated for such. Oh...

A few months back, Sky announced that they would be filming for an East Coast Trains documentary which will be screened in autumn. Does anyone have any info on this. Google / Sky's website does not show much. Thanks

I was watching the channel 5 documentary on FGW and noticed that the customer service centre is in Plymouth. I also know that East Coast customer service is in Plymouth and they have a very similar address. Does anyone know if First Great Western carry this service out of East Coast. I have...

I came across the following Parliamentary document http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200708/cmselect/cmtran/84/8406.htm It says that Revenue protection staff may use reasonable force to remove someone that refuses to give their name / address. From reading the comments on the...

I have noticed that the trains north or southbound seem to dawdle between Fincheley Road and Baker Street, even in the off peak where there is a 8 minute gap from the preceding train. Why is this? I find it is quicker to take the Jubilee Line.

Travelling back from Doncastor on an East Coast Service and urgent announcement was made if a doctor or other medically qualified person was present to deal with a medical emergency. Luckily there was and paramedics were waiting at Peterborough. I have had CPR training with use of an AED...

I have noticed TVM do not have the facility to redeem rail vouchers. What would one do when they have vouchers that are about to expire and need to make a journey. The ticket office is closed and they are entering a penalty fare zone. The vouchers will cover the full cost of the journey...

As one takes the underpass at Kings Cross St pancras Tube station,towards the opposite end of Euston road there are 2 exits one on the left and one on the right. The left exit has been boarded up, and there is some building works taking place on the surface, near the McDonalds. Will this exit...

Just noticed this advert for fibre optic broadband, very clever and Richard Brandsons rail bid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qK9FxnJKjc&hd=1 1qK9FxnJKjc I don't think many people got the bit about " Richard is making other plans"

If I buy a day travel card zone 1-6 with YP discount can I buy a boundary zone 6 to St Albans return ticket and use it on the fast trains from St Pancras where the first stop is St Pancras?

I have the return portion of a super off peak return from Peterborough to London. My friend lives in St Albans, and I will be visiting her. I was thinking of taking either East Coast (and change at Stevenage) or FCC to Hatfield. Hatfield and St Albans are very close geographically. She will...

hypothetical question, but if someone has had a few to drink but is non violent and has a valid ticket, can RPIs eject or remove these people from the train or take their ticket away from them?

Just a quick question, forget the signalling for a sec but can S7/s8 stock work on third rail 750v DC power?
