    LNER A4s in service.

    Shiplake Station

    Ancaster has a metalled path from the Up platform to the level crossing, adjacent to the signal box (Pottergate). However, the same passenger signage is there, advising passengers to cross the line by the (non-existent) footbridge. Have given up pointing out that error.

    Jobs in the rail industry where you work alone mostly

    As a signaller, I always say that they put in a box to keep me away from the public. Regarding level crossing keepers, then they tend to work alone, but do need cooperation with the controlling signaller.

    Should there be leniency on restrictions during strike days?

    Is it the end for GBR??
