RTT showing as cancelled....

Any updates as to the recovery process yet?

I remember back in the 1980s, visiting Slade Green workshops (long before networkers), one of the driving coaches of 4VEP 7724 (involved in the Copyhold accident from memory) had its damaged cab replaced with that from a 4CIG. I'm sure there were many others.

Indeed but until the derailed carriages are lifted, taken to a works for forensic inspection, we don't know yet what structural damage there is

And what would a proportionate response be?

So, if it's getting warmer and the expectation is that trains have decent air-con, how do we prevent warping/bucking of the trackwork in exposed areas? We have point heaters in the winter along with limited conductor rail heating in some areas. How does one propose keeping the permanent way cool?

Neil Armstrong landing on the moon; John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King being assassinated, devolution of the pound; Harold Wilson becoming UK prime minister and a rented black and white television where my parents had to get up and change channels on the wall by the window where the cable...

The whole train hasn't been done has it... just the outer driving coaches? I remember Class 455 unit 5856 in (a better) Legoland livery back in the day

Mechanical signals at Minster were abolished over 40 years ago I believe

Cheers, I have DM'd 1785760414 I need to put this question out again as @bunnahabhain wasn't able to give me a definitive answer (thanks again). If there is anyone here who works on the medical/occupational side of NR who can give me an answer/advice, I'd be very grateful. If finding...

Hello How does the railway rehabilitate an employee who was previously in a safety-critical role but lost his hearing in one ear which is now permanent? He is coming to see me as a patient and I'm genuinely interested. Obviously I will ask him Thanks for you help

What is the Railway's position on an employee with safety-critical duties who suffered sudden permanent hearing loss in 1 ear? They have worked on the railway for a number of years but currently signed off sick. They are coming to see me as part of their treatment and rehabilitation. Will the...

How long until the sharp jagged edges give way to curved swoosh's?

There's plenty of Thameslink to London Bridge provided that their services can be resilient. I can't see them going anywhere else from Gatwick

I don't know when but I'm sure it was a long time ago. I have a vague recollection of "dispatch" being the noun whilst "despatch" was the verb. I guess both spellings could be correct?
