The travelling public are stakeholders so have every right to an opinion But then "the railway paymasters" aka DfT don't always see it that way

OMG yes please ! Drop me a PM :)

From memory; S70275 from 7126.

I've managed to get a couple of 4CEP bodies from Bachmann. One of the TSOs from a green set had a glue problem and the windows got all misted up. I know windows did get misted up in real life but these really were bad. Unfortunately, the relevant TSO body was out of stock so I bought a...

Isn't the Ishihara a (screening) test for red/green blindness?

I guess a separate thread is required here but if the train companies are not performing well and their payments are reduced (i.e. payment by results), then isn't there less money in the system to pay its staff over the contracted rate?

I thought the RDG was made up of the former association of train operating companies (ATOC) and Network Rail...? If that were the case, you'd think they would have their members' interests at heart and stand up to the paymasters (DfT) ...? It would seem not

Is the Rail Delivery Group owned/run by its members or by Government quangos? You would think, if the former, this dispute would have been solved ages ago

I guess joe public does not understand/know or even care about that dispatch staff need a clear "line of sight" between the yellow line and the side of the train. Most also will not take kindly to being shouted at by platform staff to "STAND CLEAR !" etc. How can the railway educate the...

Under the definition of "oldest building still in railway use", there must be a lot of Victorian signal boxes still in daily use - railway or not

Indeed, and as many would argue that hospitals are public places, clinic rooms are not

Speaking from a public-facing role myself, and referring to the thread title, I would expect full privacy (unless I have medical students/trainee doctors directly observing) and would not expect patients to film me. I am expected to uphold privacy at all times and I expect patients to do the...

Might also have something to do with the original alignment/route between Nunhead and Greenwich Park before severance and a new diversion towards Lewisham added in the late 1920s...

No, I mean original signal head, post, fittings, signal plate and still using a filament bulb - not LED
