    No idea what happened except for the details in this report taken from Rail Advent - guessing it is at the more serious end of the spectrum given that RAIB are involved. Good to see no one harmed...

    Using tripods at stations in London, where is it safe and allowed?

    South Kenton is currently unstaffed so, unless you seriously annoy drivers to the extent they call it in, you are unlikely to be challenged.

    Most Idiocracy moment you've experienced on your travels?

    Bringing it back on topic. Yesterday at Reading I broke my Southall - Didcot journey. Put my ticket through the barrier and it came out with the ‘seek assistance’ message. Picked my ticket up and it had somehow found another ticket in the barrier and collected that on its way through.

    Behaviour of bus enthusiasts at bus events recently.

    Unfortunately this behaviour seemingly occurs in lots of walks of life. Instead of filming it and then discussing it online why do people not speak directly to the perpetrators at the time? The (possibly over simplistic) answer is that people are now scared of the consequences of doing so.

    The end of the Royal Train

    Suspect several heritage railways will be keen to secure one as an attraction. Hope the terms of sale include ongoing maintenance/ preservation so they don't end up rusting away. Also hope the carriages are not sold to tacky uses. Does the NRM have a claim on any?

    The end of the Royal Train

    The stock is now generally over 50 years old so will become more and more expensive to maintain.
