    The Return of Rail Archive Now with Extras

    Hi Fred. I thought the first video was quite good. Camera was a bit shakey, a few bad angles and missed approaches, but it's better than some I have seen and although i don't like Crazy Frog the music did sort of fit in quite well, but I would always prefer it without music. However, I'm...

    Yep, that happened at Stratford, and after various members of train crew running up and down the platform, that's what they did!

    Disabled person forced to crawl to her seat

    1812 from Stratford, ex-Norwich, towards Liverpool Street. 17 late because the on-train ramp couldn't fit in the doors, and the station ramp was padlocked to a fence.

    American Crash Video

    Strange. The signal before the points where the collision occured - watch the lower indicator. It shows clear until the further train passes it's signal, then the local diverging signal changes to red... so either the furthest train SPADed or neither did.

    lol no. 2 gents were in our carriage, got abusive to the female TM when she asked them to move, (as they were on SC tix). Ended up in the BTP at STP, £80 on-the-spot thanks to Jim, me and the TM picking them out of the crowd and giving a brief statement etc.

    I had a placement at St. Pancras station. If the DSM and the TM were happy for me to go onto a train, and I was given a ticket - (so I was covered by insurance), I could go :). The thing I find STUPID, was that on my placement I was working 8 hours a day 5 days a week, (with an extra 5 on...
