Playing safe I guess. Running trains from Shenfield to Reading Branch would involve switching signal systems twice whereas the services commencing on Nov 22 would only introduce 1 signaling system change per journey.

Ditto. Occasionally used them on the London Bridge - East Croydon. Never the right temperature inside. Bumpy ride especially while accelerating and decelerating. Could go on and on with what i think is wrong with them.

At least this should provide the connection between Sydenham corridor and East Croydon with a single sensible change. (Thameslink book to leave Norwood Junction 1 min before the LO West Croydon...)

Gallions Reach on the DLR

I would say the restoration of the previous night bus frequency would be a much cheaper alternative, given a whole host of routes that ran parallel had a reduction.. I wonder whether the drivers (not the unions!) actually want to do it or not, or is it purely a financial reason? Is it possible...

So they went on strike in 2016 before for the new grade being created for Night Tube and more strike now for abolishing the same roles... :s

Heard an experience from one of my colleagues. Our office is at Croydon and the colleague lives in Crawley. After the yearly Christmas party, the colleague boarded a Thameslink, intended to be picked up at Three Bridge but fell asleep. Woke up at Brighton, thinking that he would go back to...

Only Aberdeen City Council areas are in lockdown

I would guess a lot of companies that routinely have staff traveling across the country still have most, if not all staff working from home. For example, I work for a large engineering consultancy. All our offices are still shut and everyone working from home, with a blanket ban on travel...

There is indeed a few different options for T4, which one of them is to close it as a passenger terminal as it is considered to be "at the wrong location", all planes that need to depart using the northern runway would need to cross the southern runway which constraints the operation, and...

Based on what I have read on other forums, there is currently a short on drivers and station staffs as they are normal human beings like us, and would have to self-isolate for 14 days...

Railway track is a great way of adding electricity capacity without causing too much disruption. You can run various types of HV cable either on cable trays or buried in the embankment. If there is spare capacity at any Sussex substations then you just run a feed along the railway corridor.

I am working for one of the design partners of one of the contractor JV. We are moving onto detail design Q2 this year.

They are, I have even been on a Thameslink that called at platform 3 as 4 was blocked by another train during a crew changeover

But where should I tap my card to ensure my Z1 single is correctly charged? For the example of Canary Wharf to Iver, the parts that are covered by my travelcard would be Canary Wharf to Whitechapel and Acton Mainline to Hayes and Harlington. if I get a BZ5 to Iver ticket, that would cover me...

I have got a question here: if I intend to do the same journey with a Z2-5 travelcard alongside a railcard, then what ticket should I purchase and where will I get it from?

This is the route that the Intercity direct takes right? I remembered going through a massive station between Schiphol and Centraal, and was wondering how they managed something like that. Another example that I could think of is Berlin Hauptbahnhof, where somehow a load of lines just cross...

I was visiting Munich on holiday in September last year and was going from Frankfurter Ring U Bahn to the airport... MY GOD it was slow!

Is this due to the ongoing problem of compatibility between old and new signalling systems or is it something else?

Not on metro services, those are DOO. How about the time tunnel train driver ie. Steve Copley who does great banter day in day out? He won RailStaff Driver of the year 2016 cuz of it as well!
