At least one half of 158847 is now purple with grey air dams. Picture shows the vehicle.

They've always been mainly women :lol: The answer presumably is "some" or they'd not have bothered spending a load of money on having them and demolishing the platform buildings. I do remember one particularly shouting man who has gone now but had a bit of a set to with one of our guards who...

Crewe have had a number of near misses reported by drivers with people alighting from trains, walking out to the edge of the adjacent platform and nearly being caught by electric trains approaching behind them with things like back packs slung out whilst they have earphones in. Consequently I...

They certainly do/are. I've evicted many an unhappy scrote thanks to tip offs from Norwich station staff and the branch line conductors over the years.

There's no entitlement to ask the guard to allow you to travel earlier, the company policy is that you should use the ticket office to pay an appropriate admin fee and excess fare if applicable - therefore you're not likely to get anywhere with insisting. Personally I've had occasions where...

How bizarre to not want to use something that will answer your question :lol: . Well, by entering that name you don't wish to enter and cross checking with Amazon's recruitment website, it's Marston Gate Distribution Centre and it's postcode is MK43 0ZA and it's grid reference is SP966376.

All sorts of systems and fittings have been changed, either in their type or supplier, some of which have perhaps had unintended consequences? There's plenty about them that has nothing in common with the other builds.

The EMR class 158s are basically receiving cosmetic work and are slated for withdrawal in 2030, that's the current official internal line. The main issue with 158s is the engine obsolescence (they're very old technology and getting hold of blocks etc isn't easy) and cracking of the bodyshells...

Definitely not.

Indeed!

I don't think it would ever occur to me to refuse to stop my train at a snowy/icy platform. Ironically the more modern slightly "shiny" platform edging stones are the most lethal surface there is with a little water or frost at any time of year. You're more likely to see someone fall over at St...

It's not correct, winter weather precautions aren't included.

Depends which Micropaks they have, Ebac or Westinghouse (or both if they're anything like ours!).

The micropacks that control the heating can be extremely temperamental (perhaps unsurprising given they're 30 plus years old tech) and can get stuck in preheat mode for literally hours at a time. If this happens the coach won't warm up until they decide to remain in a heating mode. You can trip...

They no longer have any reservation printers.

Make sure you focus on you and what you did too - except for the obvious whereby team working etc may come into it, they want to know about you, not other people.

Sheffield crews at Northern do sign via Beighton, there just isn't the capacity for their not very efficient 195s to warrant taking up the paths - Nunnery is very busy!

It's a shunt signal to crossover in that direction, passengers aren't allowed on board. Maybe dispensation could have been granted in the circumstances, maybe not.

Long Eaton to Derby, Nottingham to Grantham and Leicester to Peterborough all shut, combination of flood water and in the latter case day turn signallers unable to get to work around flooding.

Meanwhile in the Midlands we've now got flooding to contend with. Not at all pleasant!
