Perhaps it's down to how straightforward or otherwise different regular users' tickets are?

"It's volts that jolts but mill[iamp]s that kills."

Oh look, you seem to be angry! :-)

Although I had no major problem with the presentation (just with the stupid digs at hi-vis jackets), they really should take just the crash footage itself and make a 30-second 1970s-Public-Information-Film-style advert out of it. Apart from anything else, seems a shame to go to all that effort...

Agreed, I watched the first video and thought it was odd that there was so little indication of where they'd fall (especially as they were some way past the crossing itself). "What that needs," I thought to myself, "is box-junction type markings." Then I watched the second video. :) "Yes...

I know just what you mean, as I used to do this with Ceefax despite having been online since the 90s, but the red-button version was so woefully clunky by comparison, on any hardware I've owned until now, that I gave up on it. Seriously, taking nearly a minute to load the front page was just...

My own odd one is Roydon to Upper Halliford, which I did a few times around five years ago. I remember thinking at the time that not many people would ever have done that one before. Nothing terribly weird about it, just two minor stations, the opposite side of London to each other, that are...

o_O What, as you indicate, could possibly go wrong with that arrangement?! Idiots.

Holy cow. Normally I'm as far from the "hang 'em and flog 'em" brigade as it's possible to get... but this guy should be locked up for a very long time indeed.

It is indeed, now you've said it. Thanks everybody. :-) Given that I accompany a wheelchair user on the tube about once a month, it's even more worrying that I couldn't work it out...

I can't quite catch what she's saying in the middle of that announcement, and I've even tried headphones, to no avail. "Customers requiring... ??? ...should contact the driver using the passenger alarm." Anybody have any ideas?

Poor bastards, aren't they suffering enough?!

I just hope that any new or (preferably) restored facility has a waiting area for those taking the Sailrail coach to Cairnryan. I did it twice, a few years ago, both times in summer, and being one of forty-odd people sitting on the lawn outside the hotel for 45 minutes wasn't too bad, if a bit...

If you look at this bit of the OP carefully... ...you will hopefully see that the word "here" is coloured blue, indicating that the word itself is the link. So if you click the word "here" it takes you to the French map. I know this is six months late, but thought it might be handy for...

Chancery Lane was my thought.

Roydon. Infamously, both platforms are BEFORE the level crossing on their respective sides, increasing the barrier-down time. The village is on the London-bound side and the car park is on the Cambridge-bound side. The ticketing used to be on the London side, so that meant if you were driving...

Because nowadays the kids have video games and smartphones to stave off boredom?

That link just takes me to the centre of Raglan, I'm afraid. After some hunting around I found this: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/51.792187,+-2.991636/@51.7921866,-2.9920297,19z/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en or alternatively: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gWXGSeQXwBsxfKd5A ...which would seem to be...

There used to be a particularly vicious one between Roydon and Broxbourne on the Up WAML about seven or eight years ago. Even though the train was going in a straight line and not, as far as I know, near any points (this wasn't close to the Hertford East junction), the jolt was considerable...

Is it brand new?
