Agree, I have had my pass checked far more in the last few months by both guards and RPIs.

Not all signallers have a designated break, not all Shift Signaller Managers have a designated break. (They may have a ‘naturally occurring break’) but the other day I didn’t really get one of those and tried to eat my tea while managing two very disruptive incidents that predictably started...

I hadn’t seen one for ages but there are at least two on the DC lines today.

The portion of line between Queens Park and Harrow is equipped with TPWS for the overground and Tripcocks for underground trains. There is a marked difference in driving styles when departing on a Single Yellow from Wembley Central towards Stonebridge Park between the two types of train.

Unfortunately a few have been routed into Platform 10 in error.

Same on the 350s out of Euston, some coaches hot, one next to it is cool. Always worth checking another coach in the train.

There always used to be quite a lurch on the Up approaching Castle Cary just before the station.

The up slow is also Blocked to Electric Traction.

It could also be an Emergency Indicator for an ESR. Also known as a Dalek or Metal Mickey. I see that @martin2345uk has wondered the same thing…

It was a 2+8. Only the first 5 coaches were platformed. It was 30 years ago mind.

We have the same issue at Mitre Bridge crossing. Vehicles regularly block the crossing.

Crossing clear can’t be pressed until the barriers are proved lowered and if the level crossing failed alarm has gone off won’t be proved lowered. Although of course it is possible to be press crossing clear when not clear if something is trapped, occasionally happens that a pedestrian gets...

Ok I bow to your knowledge. The speed from 0m43c is 25mph, and 40mph up to that point. I assumed if the route is set straight in with no approach control then by the time the driver saw the 9 or 10 in the route indicator they wouldn’t be able to stop at the signal. I also don’t know why they...

The driver gets no advance warning until the last signal. So by then it would be too late to stop at the signal.

More likely to be the guard on a LNWR service out of Euston. I think I probably know who you mean. He often wishes people goodnight when arriving at stations in the evening.

The engine that bought it in is in the Middle Sidings at Euston. It departed Euston unassisted.

Just to add to this, The other day my 15yo son was travelling on his dated safeguarded dependent Priv and was held up by the gate staff at Watford High Street. The lady claimed it wasn’t his ticket. She let him through eventually ‘just this once’.

That’s it. Used to indicate possession limits on the Train Describers.

I travelled on the 06:56 ex Bletchley this morning in the declassified 1st Class bit. Joining at Tring. Approx 10 late from Bletchley, further delayed at Berko for about 5 minutes with doors failing to open, then a further 3 minute delay at Hemel with an unbooked passenger assist. Meaning that...
