    Royal Mail to cease using trains

    Perhaps if Articulated lorries and 8 wheel rigids paid a more realistic road excise duty, some of the apparent cheapness of lorries would dissappear. Damage to roads is more down to lorries than cars. Perhaps foreign lorries should pay a sum per visit. Just a thought.

    Last minute platform changes, East Croydon

    A similar problem frequently happens with the LBG fasts at NWD which conflict with the VIC stoppers from West Croy for use of Plat 1 which they both use but not at the same time. The LBG fast are often diverted to Plat 3 which is Ok for most but for a pram is not much fun as 2 stair cases to...

    How can overcrowding on trains from Southampton Central be appreciated?

    At 1115 today watched XC 5 car head to Man Pic. Full and standing not helped by cruise passengers with at least 3 cases per couple. A GWR 2 car trying to fit cruise passengers with luggage onto an already full train arriving at SOU heading West. Hardly a way to recruit repeat travel...

    RMT turns down Network Rail Pay Offer

    Can we not just have a thread saying RMT accepts offer. Constant regurgitation of who said what, where, or when is becoming tedious, boring and counter productive to the people who pay the fares. The passengers. It would be nice to see what is offered by the gaffers in actual detail and why the...

    Cost of station parking

    I suspect car use will dwindle significanlty if insurance, fuel, parking costs, lack of chargers, environmental restrictions. 20mph etc, keep increasing. Near to killing the golden goose of motoring which seems a milk cow to all who have motorists wanting to use a particular service they run.

    Farringdon Cacophony

    Was at Farringdon on last Wednesday when the Thameslink service had a delay due to a comms cord being pulled on a Brighton Service. After a while the staff on the Thameslink side started announcing the delay and giving reasons. At the same time tube side staff started on the script...

    No working toilet on the train.

    I bow to your knowledge of this matter but will blokes know which one to choose. Do trains hold these 2 options in a secret place? You will recall in the great freeze up / cock up at Lewisham a few years ago. Pass discharged due to no bogs due to no juice, as juice worked bogs, so again should...

    No working toilet on the train.

    This is now turning into a big problem. Lots of people don't have cast iron bladders, I don't. Have you ever wet yourself? I don't suppose you have? It ain't nice. humiliating, experience. The tax payer's, ie you me, subsidise these cretin companies to run a service, ie a working bog. Given the...

    TfL service 18 stopping issue

    Just seen on BBC local news that TFL tells drivers not to to stop on the 18 if bus is loaded down stairs but not upstairs. It seems to be a problem on 18 only at a certain stop. TFL spokespeople seemed to endorse this. They were the TFL bus head of policy but did not give much confidence or...

    Failure to lower pantograph

    Surely RAIB should take an interest. There is a pattern for some reason for these panto strikes due to crew error ( I think crews should be helped to avoid this by engineered means, it helps them in their jobs) and removes a hazard. which lead to massive disruption and in some cases passengers...

    Failure to lower pantograph

    In view of the fact the drivers cannot be trusted to change over by themselves should there not be big flashing signs actually saying panto up, panto down. Or leaving terminal stations, have you got the right panto up.
