Has anyone seen a detailed analysis of what procedures have now been modified to cope with any circumstances similar to those horrendous problems at Lewisham in 2018. I hope we're not going to have another winter where passengers feel that they have no realistic alternative but to leave a train...

Moderator note: Split from Class 707s confirmed to be going to Southeastern Now to be revised post Coronavirus ?

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/swr-to-be-nationalised.197990/ Presumably, if SWR is taken back under government control, doesn't it also, effectively, hand the metro services to TfL, and DOO ? I can't see any great benefit in keeping together both 'halves' of...

Reported as sold to Rotala.

There's a piece in The Times today suggesting that Monarch may be about to collapse (again). https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/business/monarch-collapses-into-administration-3h82rfctm

The owner of Brightbus has decided to close the business down in July, due to his ill health. Given the number of school children they transport all over South Yorkshire I guess there will be a number of other operators needed to take over all that work. There will also be a large quantity of...

Apparently, Nottingham City Council has gone ahead with their plan to withdraw their funding for Concessionary passes from Trent's 'Red Arrow' coach service to Derby, as there are alternative (much slower) bus services available. There are no changes planned, yet, from the Derby end of the...

Didn't I see something about an imminent tube strike that will only apply for a few hours during the night? What's the point of that ?

Near Little Bowden, just before noon today. East Midlands Trains delayed or diverted.

This certainly surprised me, but is this common practice ? I accept that I'm not a great fan of the bigger Unions but if it works then fair enough. Do non-union members go direct to management ?

Ok, so what do people think will really happen if NEXUS get their way up in Tyne & Wear following the decision due later this month ? Will Brian Souter definitely pull Stagecoach out of the area as he has threatened ? Will GoNorthern and Arriva just pick up the pieces and accept a lower...

. Not too good having masonry fall from the tunnel roof while trains are running. Just how common is it ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-28501919
