In a local FB posting people were complaining about how poor the disabled access to above station is. (non existent) Are there any plans to start work on the station to enable lifts to be eventually installed. I appreciate that this may be tied in with rebuilding Gloucester Road Jct etc but has...

Apols if already answered but TFL trains announcing WiFi switched off plus station posters saying same as they need to integrate with the "systems." Is this only WiFi or is it affecting train signalling? Thanks.

With range angst what is to stop you towing a trailer with a geny to trickle charge the battery as you trundle along or drive the electric motor if needed. Would stop you freezing to death on the M25 in winter when it all goes really wrong for hours on end. Has anybody predicted how you shift...

Bridge Strike between Horsham and Christ's Hopital today. LSWR blocked at Guildford to Petersfield for improvements. Get a bus. Wloo shut for improvements. Poor info at Havant. No announcement to get a stopper to Worthing and catch a littlehampton to London. Worked out journey on phone or would...

If NR turned up at your House and said that in their opinion your tree is liable to fall on network rail land and may cause damage / derailment and they would expect you to pay for damages the householder would say cut it down straight away especially if NR wold offer to chop it for free?

If you shut down london Bridge to cars as well as Bank to cars and taxis plus vans and lorries it's no wonder there is traffic congestion. Khan just waffles on about pollution when his own policies cause it. We have a permanently closed Thames Bridge and all he does is duck the issue. A mayor...

Sorry to go off topic but on the TfL 249 route two bus shelters have been removed which were opposite each other at the junction of Church Rd and Beulah Hill by the Church. These were illuminated with glass sides. Are Tfl going on a cost cutting exercise?

No power on the Arundel line to Barnham. Any updates please for how long disruptions to last. Thanks

Unless I was dreaming as I went past Gatwick today at about 1740hrs there was a TFL branded unit in the up sidings (one car graffitied) Any idea please why it was there? Thanks

Distant years ago brand new tanker wagons used on RHTT's arrived by road at Sheffield Park. Tripped to Horsted Keynes by air fitted 09 shunter. Examined by owners and worked onwards to Network Rail system via EG connection. Cannot remember why they had to come by road rather than be delivered...

That reminds me some years ago lots of consultation about putting another town centre loop in so you could loop stuff from EC to EC via Dingwall Rd and Downe Rd to save time looping via West C. Nothing happened of course.

This video shows how seamless rolled rings are made. The principle I assume will the same for railway tyres. You can source loco tyres in Germany, Belgium and South Africa. I assume that the SA firm quotes more competitively for say an order of 6 for an engine. European firms may be interested...

In 1937 the London Transport Passenger Board ordered 1108 cars of 1938 stock to try and achieve a "Standard" fleet of cars. Done partially to alleviate employment (now more than relevant) and due to the need to update the fleets. Are there any persons in Government to grasp the fact that...

What happens re lorry batteries. How do these perform? How much longer will a journey take from say Poland to the UK and how much extra will the journey cost paying for a drivers down time or would taco limits mean that enough charge could be taken at a taco break to go to next staging point...

What happens with a completely failed train in the tunnels sections as no toilets within the anticipated 5 mins or so between stations? Another question is that when one does fail down a tunnel how is the rescue to be made? Can a dead unit be pushed by another? Will these scenarios be tested...

No doubt Ashford MPD are firing up C Class DS239 for snow plough duty. At least one C Class was fitted with scrubber brushes on the tender to scrape off third rail ice. A shoe beam arrangement fitted to axle boxes.

At one time the 196 was operated by an outfit called Cityrama. They used there own blue ex LT castoffs branded as an LT service by a notice on the front of the bus and operated out of a yard some where near I believe Stewarts Lane. The service reliability was appalling. It was rumoured a bus...

I used Southall on a once a week basis it has no gates. It is was noticeble that it had many more tickets team checks than other stations I used pre covid pointing to above average ticket less travel or fraud.

No appeal on their website yet for funds for repairs?

Seemingly every time a new replacement fleet is built a new factory is commissioned and when the trains are built the the factory runs down or shuts. I understand the facility at that built the new 800's for LNER is short of work (?). Is it not possible for fleet builders to cooperate in...
