Mod Note: Posts #1 - #42 originally in this thread. I hear that the RMT has accepted the new proposals thereby ending this very protracted dispute.

Paul Clifton (BBC) has tweeted that a staff member has died after being struck by a train at Surbiton. No further details in the public domain yet but from Traksy it appears that 1L29 to Salisbury or 2J25 to Hampton Court have been stationary in the area for two hours. I do have further...

A land slip has taken place between Dean and Laverstock Junction. The up line is impassible although the down might be serviceable, the picture will be clearer tomorrow although Network Rail’s initial surveying suggests the repair could be several weeks. In the meantime Southbound services...

From December SWR is introducing a streaming service on board their 450s 444s and 442s and are looking for suggestions for content, it will be streamed to personal devices and is currently described as 'BWOD' (bring your own device). More details can be found here...

Looks like 66789 is out and about at last, I caught it at Eastleigh this afternoon! https://www.flickr.com/photos/40172673@N03/40594105422

Looks to me like he's left the actual ticket in the TVM and not surprisingly he was denied boarding by the barrier staff at Euston. I'm not fully clued up on what the 'gateline' staffing situation is at Euston but the ticket was an Advance Purchase single so it can't be reprinted in the same way...

The prosecution of Martin Zee has returned to court with the prosecution's case largely being that by keeping the doors open a few seconds later he encouraged Edna Cotsgrove to board as the doors were closing...

Reported by the Railway Gazette that Christian Roth is to step down and be replaced by Margaret Kay from Sheffield Supertram. More details to follow I expect but that's all I have for now. https://twitter.com/railwaygazette/status/837638718034960385 Let the franchise speculation begin.

From September SWT will be introducing new restrictions on the use of Super Off Peak tickets at weekends. It's fairly complicated as the restrictions will be different in different areas. Current OPD becomes SOC, SCO becomes SOD and STO becomes SOE. No fares are increasing, and Super Off Peak...

I worked about half a dozen 450 and 444s yesterday and noted that the clocks on the PIS were not working, some showed 0159, 0200, 0700 and other random times. Further information from social media reveals that London Midland's 350s had the same problem as did TPE 185s. I don't have information...

Passenger Transport magazine is reporting that Stagecoach is to face only one rival bidder for the SWT franchise, largely due to the increased number of franchises currently under offer but also due to the lack of clarity for future operations of the franchise not least because of Tfl's...

158798 has lost the Gunwharf Quays advertising livery and is now out in 'Springboard' livery, noted at Fratton just now and currently on 1F18. https://www.flickr.com/photos/40172673@N03/17555856331/in/dateposted-public/

At the second attempt I finally got some shots of the 'Gunwharf Quays' livery applied to 158798 last week, stabled at Fratton most of today in dreadful weather conditions! https://www.flickr.com/photos/40172673@N03/sets/72157649014239829/

Just a few to start with: https://www.flickr.com/photos/40172673@N03/sets/72157641646055585 Plenty more to come over the coming months, including a class 87!

Just come across this conversation on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TCanyeezy/status/454576471743676416 Not sure what ticket the passeneger is using from New Malden to Kings Cross but if they are using Oyster (or even a New Malden-Zone U1 SDS) surely EC are bound to honour the ticket due to...
