The journey times are very slow

I am sure a lot of you are excited about tonight, but if things do significantly get delayed, then will chiltern hold trains at Wembley? I am surprised they are not running trains as far as birmingham, but I can see it from the staff's point of view, I am sure they would rather be watching the...

Thank you so much for your help. I will be driving her, having seen what she went through in Jan it was horrific and don't want to end up in the same situation, even though she has had both vaccines.

My mother needs to travel to Newcastle from London, and she has sarcoidosis, as well as having severe covid in Jan where she was hospitalised. This is a considerable distance and we are trying to work out which has the least congestion in terms of pax 1) Train, not sure what the air filtration...

Can someone shed any light what they are doing in South Harrow. They are elongating the length of the sidings rather than the width. Any reasons for this unless they plan to park a few s stocks over night as well. Many thanks

I have seen some brand new rolling stock and also funding for infrastructure, now I understand not all comes from the tax payer. How exactly is this funded. Does the Bank of England print more money in the form of Bonds and adds it to the debt pile . I know Biden is going huge with...

Thanks Bald Rick for clearing that up. So for example if we have the equivalent of Biden and a treasury security such as Jan Yellen, who agree that stimulus is needed, would the railways get a boost as well. It would be fantastic if it did, as we are investing in our future, and I cant think of...

I think its great that we have new rolling stock and electrification are gaining traction (pun intended) How is this all funded, I am sure it doesn't all come from the tax payers. Can the Bank of England issue bonds using quantitative easing or other modern monetary theory? Would love to hear...

In these uncertain times it would also be useful to look at worst case scenario and redundancy. Mortgage cover, kids etc etc. There is a lot more working from home, although not all jobs can be done from home. It depends what line of work you are in.

I could not find my answer, but perhaps those with an engineering or electrical background may be able to answer this. Say if flooding immerses all 3 rails underwater, why doesn't the track side equipment short, and how are trains still able to run, as I would have thought the electrons would...

I think we are going to see an explosion in green technology with Biden at the helm after inauguration. Think the railways will have a very exiting future. Covid will hopefully be behind us. I am trying to see the optimism in all of this at this very difficult and challenging time.

Railways were the first to adopt electric way before EVs. I was impressed with bi-modal diesel and electric GWT trains, and the amount of torque is insane. I don't own a Tesla but people mention the torque and acceleration being very good. Would love to hear the thoughts on this and if Elon did...

This is a question where someone needs to travel and have immediate symptoms where isolation without access to their emergency medication which may be at home or a hospital that deals with their existing underlying health is in another town, and forgoing treatment may result in loss of life...

How are guards a safety issue. Tube trains in the peak carry far more passengers and dont have that many serious incidents. Also how many times are tickets checked, when I used to commute my season ticket very very rarely got inspected and the guard just sat reading the paper in the middle bit...

So Labours' spending plans are as real as the magic money tree?

I know this is very opened ended question, but Spelthorne residents have been battling for years to get stations between Feltham to Staines into zone 6. I can see TFL rail taking over Reading to Waterloo as this is the other route that takes passengers into London other than xrail. Same with...

There used to be not sure if there is still now a very knowlegeble young chap at Peterborough prob late 30s or poss early 40s very enthusiastic and a wealth of knowledge, never got his name but wears glasses. He sold me the ticket back in the day and when I looked at it, it was the same ticket...

For those of us that live west of Staines and have the luxury of living near heathrow and not have access to public transport to the airport, what is going on? I understand there are 3 level crossings at Pooley green, Egham hythe and Egham station itself that may need to be taken care of. Would...

I have to get to terminal 4 to catch a 21:30 flight. On a clear run with no waiting at level crossings and clear M25 it is possible to get to T5 in less than 15 mins, however by public transport its more frustrating as airtrack has not been built. My options would be 1) Take a train to Feltham...

just showed him this and he just put it down to experience. As to why he did not sit closer to the bike after it is locked, humans are funny creatures, they would rather sit in their own section than with a stranger. Each section near the bike was occupied so walking down the carriage he found...
