Not a good week for Kent Coast Commuters. After the overrunning engineering works at New Cross earlier in the week, there was a signal failure at Paddock Wood this evening, stopping all services. The 1841 from Charing Cross got as far as Orpington where train staff advised that a Hastings...

The camera only supports the original SD specification. The only size that Sandisk supply in the UK is 2GB. Amazon Product Link Regards Bushy

The law applies to mobile phones and similar hand held devices. If it was part of his ticketing system it should only be operated when the bus is stationary. Normally the ticketing system HID has has a mounting bracket. This driver is fortunate the OP did not report the incident to the police...

Green Park: an over bridge to the old Dover Street lift shafts Regards Bushy

I don't think they have really managed to get rid of all of the legacy Connex and South Eastern Trains livery, but they have also had several attempts at their own branding. Regards Bushy

It was certainly b***** hot on an HST from Swindon to Paddington yesterday lunchtime. Makes me appreciate the A/C on 375s on my normal commuting route. Regards Bushy

Hi-vis are often used for identification. Its easy to spot somebody wandering about on CCTV if they have a hi-vis with their company name on the back. Its an LU requirement that contractors wear hi-vis on LU stations even if they are not near the track. I do agree about the over use. On some...
