It's a digesting habit, I always tell people to remove them when changing ends or pass, I've been known to make snooty PA notices if it's when and loads of people have them on the seat. People have no consideration for others at times

Advertising income, landlord income etc

FCC will provide you with a info pack and give advice on how too prepare, follow these and you should be okay like I was, I also ensured I played alot of computer games as a preparation to help speed up my reflexes for the reaction test and to get my brain ticking over. Their are websites such...

Quite simply if I ain't got a train service home then they pay alot of money for a taxi, last year they had to taxi me about 60 miles to my home, bill was in excess of £300 lol

Someone deserve a proper grilling for letting em on the track

Not sure if we have Herd all the cow jokes tonight

I bet the mom is cold, it's friesian outside

Whilst doing my train handling a few years back a Jay flew through our open cab window and struck my driver trainer on the forehead, he was cut on the side of his head and bled quite a bit whilst the poor Jay lay dead on the cab floor. It took a long time to convince the signaller what had...

Platform 1 @ palmers green, stop train next to monitors , hop out and you get 100% discount from the tea bar, happydays

I guess when this alledged stop short occurred you rushed to alert the driver about what had allegedly happened or did you as quick as a flash log onto twitter to report it to Ally ? Now as much as I disagree with those two RPI's why didn't you just approach them and tell them politely that...

What a ridiculous statement - I would love to see John Lewis run a train service, don't expect it to beontime though as the driver is busy meeting and greeting at the station entrance. Just remember John Lewis are focused on selling and thats how they attract customers back, the railway...

That's the one , was skated back down last night (orange thing) to await repares

TRIVIAL - please engage brain before you type, firstly people were trapped in the road vehicle, would you suggest it was just pushed out of the way to reopen the road Secondly the train needs to be thoroughly inspected and made safe before it can move- I know let's just move the damm thing to...

Err no - as inconvenient as it is for Hatfield passengers the S stop board on platform 3 was introduced due to the large number of stop short incidents that were occurring, and there is only a poor quality mirror to use. I always use the S board as it helps save my job, any driver that stops...

Sorry but I don't know the answer for sure but I think the computer basically resets then checks every system on board, a bit like undertaking a rolling stock exam ( service) , in a depot it's not a problem but on the main line it is

Cabs by nature get very hit very quickly, in fact without air con they very quickly become green houses, Electrical equipment has to by nature produces heat and this heat also penetrates the cab ( put your hand on the back of your pc screen and feel the heat), a 377 has a lot of equipment on...

Mmmmm let me see, major depots at kings cross, blackfriars depots , FCC head office at old street, revenue offices/mess rooms along that part of the route, fitters depots at Bedford and Hornsey (GN side), staff from southern making their way home northbound, Btp going home, control offices...

Of course the driver has the t-key, In my experience it would have taken him the best part of an hour to force his way through each coach to open all the windows, now their is no way he or the signaller would want him away from any form of communication for this time as no direct contact with...

Yes the driver is in the same cconditions, the windows on a 377 are locked with a T key so the driver would need to force his way through each coach to unlock them individually - a crazy system Incidentally no power means no PA when the batteries pack up, this would have meant no announcents...

Brother James I don't think their is a railway person on this forum who has anything other than contempt for what Hart did to your father and the other people who sadly lost their lives. As for those people on here who are trying to play devils advocate and defend his actions on the day and...
