I would have to agree with in that Denmark Hill is a GTR Thameslink managed station that LOROL call at according to national rail. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/DMK/details.html

I've been a signalman/ler since the late 80s on Southern and It's always been the term "bang road" for a wrong line movement and swingers for an ECS with an unbreaked unit on the back. Always took it to be broad railway slang and not region specific.

The unit that would of stabled in Brighton Down Main Sidings went back to Three Bridges depot before the block went on. There are no class 700s in Brighton at the moment.

The first two 700/0 RLU are due into traffic on Monday replacing 4 x 387/1 diagrams. (401) 5W84 01+04 Three Bridges Depot to Three Bridges 2W84 01.16 Three Bridges to Bedford 5G84 03+46 Bedford to Bedford CS 5G04 04+33 Bedford CS to Bedford 1W03 04.46 Bedford to Brighton 1W12 07.48...

Being hauled to where and what depot?

Is not the case that the Catreham and Tattenahm service were missing from the Tfl service grab, is that up until GTR released their 2018 service consultation document they were to be part of the Thameslink plans and Tfl hasn't caught up with the fact that they are no longer Thameslink property...

I've PM'd you. But the only closures planned in Sussex Route for the time being is Victoria ASC Panel 4 (the Sutton area) in 2018, all other areas have well slipped behind in whatever migration plan is current at the moment.

They already run Norwood Junction and have done since just before the East London Line service started running, along with all the other stations from West Croydon/Crystal Palace to New Cross Gate inclusive.

I agree, London Bridge upper level as is now and when fully rebuilt is just another through station like many others, just a lot busier. But the way it's been built gives very high degree of certainty of what platforms the different service groups will depart from, so for the majority of...

Depends on location and roster worked, but in most multi panel control centres you will work all or half the panels within It, which could be a little as two panels or three or a maximum of nine panels.

I'm pretty sure that was the 377/3 that were ordered in a common fleet along with the 3 cars for the Hastings to Tonbridge line so they could fit 11car 375s inbetween Tunbridge Wells tunnels. South Easstern 375 301 to 375 010 GTR Southern 375 011 to 375 338 now 377 301 to 377 328 But...

It's a railway designed in the late 70s built in the early 80s trying to cope with the worst the 21c teens can throw at it, we've long since run out of capacity at certain junctions.

A 10 coach 171 or a 12 coach 377/387/700 if held on a red signal on the down London Bridge slow will over hang Norwood Folk Junction and if the move was fast to slow then the next service in rear will be held on the second signal back as that's the way the signal overlaps work.

I should imagine that every drivers depot is very simular to large signalling centres and areas of small signal boxes. There are as many variations of roster as there are locations taking into account how many links and staff per link. There will be no standard roster anywhere in the country for...

Under the rules of PPM I can hold an on time GTR train for 4:59 for a late running GTR train if I beleive that they will both make PPM at their respective destinations based on the information I have on my panel. That's is more than likely the reason you have been delayed, as I said we have...

Approach control is approach control can't really help with that one. Strange decisions by signallers at the end of the day they are just judgement calls that some you get right some you get wrong, some are made with good intentions. A late running services (that is failing PPM) regardless of...

The project was literately just about adding platform 0 and no scope for any other works. Having said that they decided to take out the GPO dock, not sure why as they haven't said what is to happen with the unit that stables there over night or the service that it forms in the morning. Maybe it...

Wasn't part of the core brief this time round all about railway worker (contractor) road traffic accidents either while at work or commuting to and from work and that tiredness and fatigue was one of the main reasons. I know I have an an hour commute eather by train or car and that's about...

I'll plead the 5th on that one.
