I am 18 - age restrictions for drivers is 18 for London Underground and 21 for National Rail.

Automatically rejected due to age! Bah! (And that's despite being able to answer 'Yes' to the question 'Have you previously passed a train operators assessment')!

Besides that, are we going to find out the answer to the quiz?

Merry Christmas to all the visitors of this forum. Including the Google Spider. *waves at*

Juding by some commenst by BA staff on certain industry forums, I am led to believe that although they voted "yes/no" for a strike, at the time they voted, they did not know the date, or the length of the proposed strikes.

Then don't be. If the door closes on your arm it will remain closed until the driver re-opens them. Unless all the doors are closed fully, the driver cannot motor. However, as OT explained, thin items can get stuck whilst still giving the driver door interlock. I have known of cases...

Just because the franchise is being run by the same company doesn't make it part of the other franchise.

Yes mate, they'll be part of larger francises... an example, the brances around Norwich are in the same franchise as Norwich - London intercity, Southend, Shenfield, Enfield, Stansted, Cambridge (etc) services..

As far as I know the majority of them are operated by Pendolinos..?

I almost felt bad not being at work - all but 1 lines had problems last night, would have been on the phone constantly :lol:

Definely milk ;)

Ah, thanks - been looking for that - noticed how they don't have NFM05 in the title!

:lol: Annual leave now mate, would have to be top notch hot chocolate to get me up there ;)

I have had the experience of banging ice out of points and shovelling snow... not something to look forward to x] but the hot chocolate afterwards definetly is!!

Being a member of staff I can tell you that that member of staff was incorrect. If you do have any problems whilst you are just passing through a station, remind the staff to check the back page of the latest traffic circular. -Note: NR staff at Upminster don't have access to the TC's ;)

Thats what the dashboard is for =P Must say, 96TS in the snow performed remarkably well last night - admittedly sleet brushes were down, but it was a de-icing unit on which the de-icers weren't working, so was expecting it to slip all over the place!

With regards to where tickets go, as far as LU ones are concerned, they are dumped into a bin inside the gate, which are emptied periodically and the tickets then recycled.

Indeed, pantograph stuck in a neutral section. (For those who don't know, thats part of the overhead wires with no electricity running through it, which separates two sections of wire which do have electricity).

Class 395 gapped on the approach to STP.

Authority to hold the train comes from control. Station staff are not authorised, themselves, to delay a train. If a driver/train manager delays a train, the delay can be attributed to them. Only if it is a booked connection can it be held by the driver/station staff. I think ;)
