If it was just "a few bricks falling from a bridge" the line would be unblocked as soon as they were removed and it was verified that no more will fall, likely a few hours at most. That this has not happened means that things are not that simple. Indeed if you read the latest update from Network...

I would expect that most of this is not public knowledge at this point, and given that he pleaded guilty may not become so. However, it does not appear that he has been charged with driving without a valid license and/or without valid insurance so it is a reasonable presumption that he did not...

AIUI the law does not make any such distinction - if the information is given in one form it must, if possible, also be given in the other. To my mind the problem isn't so much that the information isn't relevant per se, it's that it's presented in a way/at a time that doesn't make it useful...

Accessibility. Not everybody can see/read displays and not everybody can hear/understand the audio announcements so (wherever possible) information must be given both visually and audibly.

The line has now been closed again following further movement: https://www.gwr.com/travel-information/travel-updates/live-network-updates Looking at RTT it seems 1P85 Great Malvern to Paddington made it through around 21:20 but 1W77 Paddington to Worcester SH was cancelled at Oxford at 21:50.

It's always going to be complicated when there are both multiple sets of engineering works closures and unplanned closures (in today's case due to a points failure at New Cross Gate I believe) Giving each line it's own name may not make it shorter, but will make it less confusing. One way of...

The only circumstances in which third rail is always unambiguously better that OLE are: Very high winds (although both are equally likely to be disrupted by flying trampolines, etc) Tunnels/bridges with extremely limited overhead clearance

There is another 6 - Canonbury, Dalston Junction, Haggerston, Hoxton, Shoreditch High Street, Whitechapel.

It's not quite something that they can't really refuse, but it is in their interests not to. If they negotiate in good faith they can come to an agreement that is a good for both parties as possible, if they just refuse then the statutory access will be on the railway's terms (as long as they...

I can equal it - Baker Street, Bond Street, Green Park, Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, South Kensington. In future it might also be equalled on LO - Clapham High Street, Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Queens Road Peckham, Surrey Canal, Surrey Quays However I've not found anything longer.

I've not heard anything like that, but it;s not impossible. Bank to Lewisham is the most heavily used route in normal operation (some events at ExCeL mean Canning Town-Custom House/Prince Regent the busiest stretch) so it would make sense for the new units to be allocated there once the fleet is...

I've just had another look and found a 13: Blackwall, Poplar, Westferry, Limehouse, Shadwell (DLR), Bank, Waterloo, Kennington, Oval, Stockwell, Vauxhall, Pimlico and Victoria 11 remains the longest solely on one mode though.

Agreed, and (without having seen the sentencing remarks, if there are any) I would expect that is why the sentence is relatively lenient.

Paragraph 20.2.1 on page 78 (PDF page 79) of Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual states So it seems there should be signs where the road crosses the tramway.

It is, and you can play a quiz to identify other common words on the map (as of January 2020) at https://www.sporcle.com/games/pecheneg/london_underground_words - I got 50 of 58. The only two adjacent Park stations are Woodgrange Park and Wanstead Park. The next longest set is three - Clapham...

The investigation needs to go deeper than that, they need to established exactly what happened. There are (at least) two aspects to the investigation: A. what was done (or not done) that caused the signal to display incorrect aspects; and B. Why was this not detected? Part A will want to...

The RAIB have just tweeted: https://twitter.com/raibgovuk/status/1605503965457571842 The tweet links to the page about the incident on their website, https://www.gov.uk/government/news/wrong-side-signalling-failure-at-wingfield which has been updated and is a lot more detailed than previously:

I don't recall ever seeing anything anywhere about how they will be numbered, but based on past practice numbers starting at 156, 160 or 201 would seem likely.

The news report is published by MyLondon, which is generally less reliable than a random bloke down the pub who has been partaking of the establishment's finest ales all day. Indeed they make publications like the Daily Mail and the Sun seem bastions of accuracy by comparison. The author of the...
