Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/report-of-collision-bedford-elstow-19-06-26.303537/ Indeed - the most common of which will be a 'Horn vice bell' which is a right side fault and does not require the driver to stop and report immediately - instead they should...

Trains have been replaced by buses on the Atherton Line for the last few weekends and for a good few more due to engineering works at weekends. This is fine and I have no complaints about this. What I am a bit perturbed by is the fact that on Saturdays when the line normally gets a half hourly...

https://imgur.com/LFbxYF9 I've just noted this poster at Preston, which states that if you don't have a ticket before you board, you will receive a £100 fine. This is not correct. A penalty fare is not a fine. Fines can only be awarded by a court. The maximum fine for ticketless travel if...

As above - this train is not showing on RTT at all this week. Next week it's a bus. Nothing on Northern's website seems to suggest any engineering works are affecting it. There is no replacement bus service advertised this week at all. Does anyone know why? My partner relies on this train to get...

I've just been sent a video by a friend of a pair of 331s departing Wigan NW in the up direction with no pantographs raised. They were empty coaching stock and had no passengers on board. They were definitely both 331s, neither was a 195 and both pantographs were definitely lowered. I have...

Question in the title. When the station was refurbished the new signage which was put up was in Network Rail/ex-Railtrack colours. The station is managed by Northern.

Hi all, I've been invited to an assessment centre for a qualified driver role with TPE. I really just wanted to know what the assessments involve and what I can expect to be doing on the day. Is there anyone here who has recently transferred to TPE who could give any insight? Many thanks!

Has anybody else noticed that National Rail Enquiries has been advertising one unders as this in recent weeks? It used to be 'due to a person hit by a train.' Emergency services dealing with an incident could be many things - I can't help but think that this is another dumbing down of...

Today has been one of the worst I've ever known. Brandon Preston Liverpool Street Underground Dewsbury Barming Ardrossan Harbour All fatal And with attempted at East Ham and Coventry That really is awful. Thoughts to all involved.

Quick question Tomorrow morning I wish to purchase a £4432 annual season. The ticket office will not be open at the time I an travelling (0510) Can I purchase a single to my destination from the ticket vending machine, then have the cost of this ticket deducted from the annual season...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/transport/10929222/National-Express-to-retain-c2c-rail-services.html Not sure how the telegraph know so early but it appears that this is true. I believe NX are going to ditch the c2c branding if they do keep it.

So I've got an assessment at Euston for TM with Virgin tomorrow morning. I'm pretty nervous, it's impossible to say how much I would love to have this job, this would be me set up for life! Does anyone have any advice about what the assessment involves? Thanks!

Just got an email inviting me to an assessment with Southern for RPO on the 28th. I'm a bit nervous as the practice material consists of 139 pages! 30 pages. (which admittedly isn't as bad as I had thought - openoffice was messing up the format of the document) Ouch! Any advice from...

To those of you who are interested, the last NSE segment clock was removed from Euston last night to be replaced with a digital equivalent. Signs of NSE are slowly fading away!

Person hit by a train at Wembley Central. Not currently sure what service but it may have been 2N09 0954 EUS-NMP. Job stopped.

0A90 derailed at Bletchley sth jcn. All lines currently blocked. Anyone using virgin or LM between Euston and Milton Keynes Ctl are advised to seek alternative routes.

Chesham, a London Underground station, does not have a ticket machine or office which can sell the full range of NR fares. Today I travelled to Aylesbury without a ticket from Chesham because I could not buy a railcard discounted ticket there (which I am fully entitled to seeing as I paid for...

Hey guys. I've noticed a tradition within BVE - all of the forums and websites in the community seem to close down after short periods of being open. I'm fed up of it myself. I'm just a user of openBVE - I have never developed anything for it, however I have moderated forums in the past and...
