    Historic airports (photos/video)

    Does anyone remember the little shuttle train at Gatwick that went to the rotunda gates (Dan Air used it if I recall). The rotunda is still used and the remains of the old train tracks are still visible in places, how ever you walk there now.

    SouthEastern fleet replacement updates

    Some 700's or similar to do the Tunbridge Wells stoppers would eliminate the need for guards at Hildenborough and High Brooms. That would appeal to the DFT.

    Network Rail RMT dispute settled.

    You just buy online. It's very easy. I haven't used a ticket office since it became available.

    Network Rail RMT dispute settled.

    Doesn't help at one of the worst paid TOCs who already have DOO

    BTP go to High Court to sack officer for gross misconduct

    Spot on. The same culture that infests the railway.

    Slade Green Footbridge

    Even more ridiculous that a major railway structure was removed without advising any of those who sign that route.

    Stations which have given their name to a settlement they serve

    Grove Park and Petts Wood only exist because of the railway.

    Larissa, Greece: Freight train collides with passenger train (01/03/2023)

    The question has to be asked how did the Greek rail unions, Greek rail regulator, and the EU regulator allow this to carry on for so long? Surely that kind of emergency working should only be for as short a time as possible until the fault is fixed?

    How could the Southeastern network be improved?

    Why do you need staff? Other countries manage it. Been to Japanese stations, fully barriered and only way to contact staff is via a touchscreen. (with English spoken too.)

    Southeastern problems post timetable change

    The biggest issue is there was an incorrect assumption during the design process that most passengers would wait downstairs until a few minutes before their scheduled departure (those with access requirements aside) The reality is very few do and head straight up to the platform even if they...

    Trip to Korea in Sept/Oct

    Hi, was wondering if anyone had any tips on scenic lines, preserved lines or museums etc. As it will be getting into leaf colour season trips that take in that would be great. Thanks for any suggestions

    Use of the GSM-R by signallers/control to contact drivers

    That's shocking that wasn't picked up as part of testing during the GSMR roll out.

    Train driver confirmed dead in West Worthing station tragedy (01/02/2022)

    What have the unions done about this clearly unacceptable situation?

    West Malling train fire (02/02/2023)

    Many of these units haven't been washed in months.

    Southeastern problems post timetable change

    It's due to the curvature of the platforms. It's why attachments were stopped there a few years back. Similarly at Cannon St. Idiotic it's been reintroduced

    Derailment in the Bromsgrove area (24/03/2020)

    Presumably this siding is out of use whilst there is nothing to protect the adjacent running line?

    Train drivers offered pay rise in bid to end strikes

    That situation of female drivers (often with a partner or relative on the job who knows how to play the system) coming in with the deliberate intention of having kids and not working for 2-3 years is completely unacceptable. Particularly when leave is declined to cover them. When I've told...
