    BTP demanding extra coaches

    Thousands of supporters leave Falmer by train for amex Brighton matches. It takes many trains to fully clear the waiting queue of fans which snakes up over the footbridge. The length of a train has only the effect of clearing the queue faster. Nothing about safety. If a 2 car train is crammed...

    Are Sat Navs now considered essential, even for drivers with an excellent sense of direction?

    Always use the Google maps on my phone whenever I drive long distances whether I need a satnav or not. Advising about delays and changes to ETA is my biggest benefit, it can route me around delays if needed.

    WNXX Forum issues.

    I can see there is a plain page saying forum closed with links to the forum and login page, and then another bot checker page before taking me to the forum. Any plans to open the wnxx forum with those two blocker pages in place?

    Looking for Actual Historical Freight Rail Movement Data

    Sorry it was just the historic lookup. Tom above may therefore be able to help better.

    Looking for Actual Historical Freight Rail Movement Data

    For the historic data, No they've only done it as zips containing month by month data throughout each year, updated month by month. As others have said it may be easier doing a FOI request. This chap has years of data archives so he may be able to help with an export if you reach out...

    Looking for Actual Historical Freight Rail Movement Data

    Could probably, I don't trust my internet connection to be reliable enough for 24/7 constant reading from a message broker nor do I know enough about windows Lol Just tried to open up a 5gb excel file and it wouldn't even let me it's too big. Id out to rename the extension to .cbb can't be bothered

    Looking for Actual Historical Freight Rail Movement Data

    I think this would be a good place to start; without downloading you own data; https://raildata.org.uk/dashboard/dataProduct/P-b5f4216b-4de5-412f-9c9a-d14c604a6b9e/dataFiles (Requires registration), Historic delays data, month by month, year by year, in CSV format (btw it's huge), it contains...

    Southeastern no longer call at East Croydon or Redhill on the diverted trains during engineering work.

    I'm my non railway related job I get paid by the hour not by how much work I get done in the said hour I didn't realise platform staff get paid for the number of trains they dispatch LOL

    I think the coalfish at Haywards heath is still there. Don't know what the number is

    Eastbourne and Worthing swapped around on the 00:02 from London Victoria service.

    The Worthing portion went to lovers walk afterwards (as booked) I'm guessing they had to swap it because the unit had need for repairs after service. The Eastbourne continued with London workings later into the morning. So rather than screw up a London workings the whole day it sounds simpler...

    Sleeper bus

    I remember a while back on TV seeing this film with a triple decker bus. There were people sleeping but obviously the size was the problem, you couldn't get many beds in. Obviously bridge height etc probably why it didn't work out

    Direct Eastbourne to London Bridge back for commuters.

    Trivia: current obscure/unusual regular timetabled services

    Said this before on other threads and I'll say it again, the Brighton to Newhaven harbour service. It's not rare track but it's an opportunity to see a 377 going into marine siding and coming back out. 2C98 for day time And 2C94 evening. Times when the seaford branch service doesn't go to...

    High-speed train bound for London ‘hits van on level crossing’ in village as vehicle bursts into flames (July 13)

    Yea sorry the bridge does look small so an Amazon driver may have problems. I wouldn't even consider using one of these crossings with a vehicle. It only takes one lapse in concentration. Eg you check the light before opening the gate but forget to check the light again before actually driving...

    1Z29 Three Bridges to Dartmouth

    Lol Picture I saw showed the 47 practically just a few feet before the signal, so taking into factor the zoom I estimated 1 or two coaches in platform

    High-speed train bound for London ‘hits van on level crossing’ in village as vehicle bursts into flames (July 13)

    One near me may show green but it really doesn't take long for the train to come after it changes to red. Maybe 60 seconds. Maybe less.

    High-speed train bound for London ‘hits van on level crossing’ in village as vehicle bursts into flames (July 13)

    Interesting to know how the signs could be at fault this time, assuming this is an up to date viewing But then again, the photos in the sun article aerial view doesn't depict any visible signs from one side of the crossing at least that I can see, heck, one of the gates isn't even open
