    Stations which need to be re-sited.

    I know it’s been future proofed and provided with a footbridge for a public right of way but Soham was built as a single platform (4-car) back in 2021 at a cost of £18.6m. 1728914441 Isn’t Waterbeach getting a fair sprinkling of that money from developers though? Over 8000 new holmes are...

    Driver Route Learning - Scarborough and others

    We have a similar issue here with the East Suffolk Line. So many crossings although several have closed. Drivers during training are expected to know all AHBs, MCBODs, ABCL, AOCL+B, MSL names as well as the UWGs that have telephone communication with Saxmundham box.

    Public perception of railways

    I think it varies greatly amongst all ages. You’ll always have some that are keener than others. On the whole most want to do a good job. 1728896044 Yes it’s often the case in countries like France though that many local routes are dire. Here in the UK we often excel with them.

    Trivia: Stations which have had platforms removed.

    Stations which need to be re-sited.

    Ah understood. I do try to keep everything tax free but seem to have done all I can on that front :-p 1728853962 Is that not what BRASS is? Didn’t think I could avoid anymore.

    Exactly. But the surprise of what it is makes the wait good fun for me. Just like I don’t check my monthly premium bond wins (or lack of lol) online. I still wait for the cheque through the post.

    Got the email but never bothered to look into things. Just waiting for our pay bill next week. Why spoil the fun by checking early?

    Why are you asking on here rather than through your ASLEF reps or your employer?
