    I caught that at Newport yesterday and it didn't seem particularly busy, well not the rear coach anyway.

    ASLEF strike mandate renewed

    The big issue with an overtime ban, at my TOC is the disgusting and spiteful behaviour of our management during the last ones. Drivers with leave booked for months had leave declined, as suddenly only one was allowed off. In most of those cases there were multiple drivers sitting spare, so...

    This is the problem, it's totally random when it happens.

    Rail staff travel ticket website only giving collect at station as an option

    No just this. I ended up just getting two singles. I seem to recall having a similar issue last year with Haymarket-Glasgow off return when purchased same day.

    Rail staff travel ticket website only giving collect at station as an option

    Does anyone know why if you try to buy a return ticket on the day of travel it only lets you collect from station, but if you select a pair of singles you get the usual e ticket option. Just tried to buy Clapham Junction to Surbiton and got this today. Any ideas how to get this sorted?

    Teenagers enter the London Overground train cab and play with the driver's switches

    What would concern me more is how easily they could have gained entry to that type of units cab at a platform whilst the driver was in it. Vandalism aside there's not much they can do without the drivers key, but with the driver in situ it could be a lot worse.

    Major problems out of Waterloo this evening (20/4/23) and South Western mainline/Cross Country

    Useless bio diesel according to the report I've seen. Had the misfortune to use that stuff in a rental car in Costa Rica. Constantly stalled and the loss in power was atrocious, particularly at the altitudes in that country. A mate used it in his Volvo diesel and you needed to change the fuel...

    377 Graffiti

    It doesn't help when you've got an organisation as illustrious as the Saatchi Gallery glorifying criminals such as Ten Foot in an exhibition that costs £25 to visit.
