I thought it was familiar, I sold them my old hot water cylinder.

I would have thought they have the option of a cell phone data link, if that is not the case for all of them. And looking at the image, they need at most 13A, since it appears to be a standard uk plug plugged into a weatherproof box, so a single armored cable is all that would need to be run...

There would be (rightful) outrage if you said that parents with young children couldn't use the tube to go out for the day, or shopping, which a ban on buggies is tantamount to. I assume full carriage prams are banned, but who uses them anymore anyway.

Platforms 5 and 6 are both 6 carriage, so even with the power car, both the new 755's should fit, and both look wired: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2700947

I would guess the power to weight ratio being lower will change the performance enough to require separate testing.

I have to admit that I never considered the idea of 0 being a null value, which considering I'm a computer programmer is odd, but even so, the not assigned value on a departure board is always '-'. The sentences you cropped from my quote was the response to the idea that it might read as a...

How is 0 a mistake? If someone reads it as zero, then they think, 'other side of Platform 1 to Platform 2', and there they find it. If they read oh, that is not different to reading Y or 89 or 42, which is 'where the hell would I find that', and they have to look for signs. Then once they find...

Ah, thank you, just looked that up, had no idea it used to be there. Very interesting.

As a question why was Y the label at first? I can't see where that would have come from.

When labelling something to help people find it, unimaginative is kind of the point.

I assumed that the lady was walking on the right side footpath, and was halfway across when the lights started, and the left barrier was down before she got over, so then tried to walk round it and got hit by the right barrier. The first part has happened to me on half barrier crossings, where...

Littleport is a barrow crossing, and it's not fixed yet, but I think I heard its coming in the next 5 years.

There was a similar thead a while back: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/trivia-stations-where-passengers-still-have-to-cross-via-a-level-crossing-or-barrow-crossing.178458/ But assuming you mean crossing on a road with a controlled level crossing, I can think of Waterbeach Downhan Market...

Although I did it on occasion, the walk from Benfleet Station to Canvey is not the most enticing thing. The bridge is ok, if a bit exposed and close to traffic, but the part of Canvey you might actually want to get to is a reasonable walk on from there.

This is slippery slope stuff to the extreme. Just because you can't easily help everyone, does that mean you don't make reasonable changes for those you can help? It's important to have the discussions, and not have an immediate, knee-jerk rejection of any request for change.

People are not asking for the system to be compromised for their benefit, they would be happy with a system that gives as many as possible the benefits most people enjoy. Saying that they can't be above/below because currently the window/aisle lights are above/below is thinking restricted by...

If designed from the beginning, they could easily have been designed offset, for example, put the colour lights as dual colour bars above and below the screens, so the top can be red or yellow, and the bottom could be yellow or green, so you have the three states as red above, green below and...

That attitude implies that the 1.9% of the UK population that use a wheelchair can be safely ignored. https://www.disabled-world.com/disability/statistics/wheelchair-stats.php These discussion should at the very least be had, and we can weigh up the options.

As someone who has been designing a computer interface with a traffic light system, the best solution, talking to a colour blind user, was to have the shape change. In my case red cross, green tick and yellow dot, maybe for seats it should be red bar, green circle and yellow semi-circle?

Sorry, read the bit about largest battery packs as using them alone. I don't know what the power requirements are for maintaining 125mph, but surely the current IEP's can do that without batteries, and a combination of regen braking and running some or all of the GU's during deceleration or...
