Strange, I hadn't realised that Victoria was named London Victoria. OK on timetables, but it has got 'London Victoria Station' written on the front of the station. Charing Cross, on the other hand, just has 'Charing Cross Station' Regards Bushy

Transport for London placed the contract for the construction of 'Cable Car for London' before Emirates became sponsors and it was badged as Emirates Air Line. I'm fairly sure that construction had already commenced when the sponsorship deal was announced. The Cable Car was designed to be a...

The ramps from overbridges and subways to platforms are not compliant with standards. They would however be considered when assessing whether it is reasonable to make alterations. Regards Bushy

Hi Olivier and welcome. If you want to use buses and trains within London you should buy a Travelcard. If you are only travelling to the terminus station (Charing Cross, Victoria, London Bridge or St. Pancras) then buy Ashford to London Termini. You have the option of travelling by the...

As pointed out it is only required to do what is reasonable. If more stations can be made accessible by quick wins, that is the sensible way to go; target the quick wins and the major stations and interchanges. The Access for All scheme is being used to fund some improvements, often hand in hand...

Ooops, correction: sitting on the train waiting for departure, this evening, I noticed it on the platform station name signs. Regards Bushy

I have looked round Charing Cross but the only place the logos are apparent are on staff vests. Regards Bushy

Under DDA it is the duty of the provider of a service provider "to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for him to have to take". Cost and such matters as heritage can be taken into consideration when assessing what is reasonable. Additional legislation...

Proposals are on ukplanning, here and here. It is 21 that is to be extended. Regards Bushy

Yes it does, the line was only electrified as far as Ore, to where South Eastern EMUs run. The remainder of the route is only served by Southern 171s Regards Bushy

I don't think services from HS1 to Lydd are mentioned. Without major remodelling of the country end of Ashford, I don't think it would be possible; as the current AHL connects to the main line up from the down end of the international platforms (3/4). All Marsh Link services use platforms 1 & 2...

You could print a copy of the NRE page on Gold Cards Regards Bushy

Kent Coast line had been running OK. There was one train turned short on Friday. It didn't run over the weekend due to engineering. This morning everything was fine until we got to Hither Green. There were power problems in the New Cross area. We got into CHX just under an hour late. SEs Delay...

The electric tug is not used any longer. Boats going through do so under their own power but are chaperoned by a C&RT boatman. The support vehicle is stationed near the centre of the tunnel. Boats stop at each adit to telephone the control point to report on progress. Martin Clark's Pennine...

It seems that C&RT currently use a hard wired telephone system; boats navigating the tunnel have to stop at each adit to contact the tunnel control. A more sophisticated system is planned but no programme for its installation yet. Regards Bushy

Many sources indicate that 465s are equipped for regen braking but were fitted with with resistor grids for areas where the infrastructure could not accommodate it. Although it is now a long time ago, I seem to remember that NSE pushed regen braking as one of the benefits of Networkers. For...
