I think that there has been a steady decline in preparedness to walk further than can be avoided in all (erm) walks of life.

There often appears to be a Catch-22 where the advice from X is to consult station staff/conductor or train manager to which the passenger responds that they can't help either.

A simple Google produces the following. Whether it's accurate or not and whether it adds much to the discussion is itself debatable.

Something once common in multiple venues but not seen as much now. Black noticeboards with holes into which individual white letters and numbers were inserted in order to display such things as opening times, prices for different products etc.

Become something of a "Whack-a-Mole" day for controllers on the ECML.

Track diagrams showing congestion on ECML both ways currently either side of Barnet Tunnels. Edit: Just seems to have been a "blip" as everything now on the move.

Deleted.

Knocks out Pl-12 also.

Perhaps from 2026 such expressions should be consigned to the dustbin of history, or the National Railway Museum, and plain English adopted universally?

Lumo's current seemingly daily problems are not all toilet-related. From today's www.journeycheck.com/lumo 08:50 Stirling to London Euston due 15:00 was cancelled. Looks like the 1636 ex Euston-Stirling may (or may not) operate.

Huge challenges to get things back to a steady state.

Genuine question as I'm located at the cooler end of the UK. How good (or otherwise) are the various TOCs in strengthening formations of the fewer trains which are continuing to run in areas where services have been reduced due to hot weather and in situations where they have a proportion of...

Bring back the Central SMT stylish paper "bills". (I jest) your point seems perfectly valid.

Yes that is often an unsafe practice and not one I would condone, which is why my post was qualified with the words "when it is perfectly safe to do so".

Not completely disappeared but common courtesy from vehicle drivers appears to be on a downward trajectory especially where it would incur a slight delay of perhaps 20 seconds to show courtesy e.g. pausing when it is perfectly safe to do so in order to let another driver manoeuvre into or out of...

Lumo's Twitter page makes it clear that there were no accessible toilets on the 1636 ex Euston-Stirling (which was delayed 30 minutes en route due to trespassers on the railway in the London area).

And in so doing would that perhaps give improved toilet fixing/emptying opportunities?

Apart from no London-end facilities for defects requiring depot attention, do Lumo WC have access to a London-based fitter to effect a straightforward (for a fitter) running repair? Edit: Just seen post 206 which mentions the likely Wembley option.

It seems bizarre that Avanti and Lumo are both First Group entities. Either this outcome should have been resisted from monopolies concerns or if deemed acceptable (as it apparently was) it should be on the basis of interavailability of ticketing as far as possible particularly during disruption...
