Just something I observed. I know with modern sliding plug doors this is logical but it happened on prior models that still used inward open/close doors. I wonder if the less flush doors provided better insulation but insulation tech for the doors got better.

A show I use to watch on Netflix is moving onto hulu. I paid for prime video to watch one tv series a few months ago. At the moment I am only paying for youtube and soundcloud regarding streaming. I don't watch the most tv shows, however it seems unsustainable to either have to switch or pay...

Have you pre ordered? What are your expectations? I have pre ordered. I imagine the game might have in game subscriptions, that affect it characters back balance. Would be irritating but mimics real life. From the leaks, the cafe robbery felt like RDR 2.

Sometimes I like going on Google maps and looking at how streets have changed over the years. One thing I notice about roads is that in the last 20 years they seem less colourful. As in red isn’t used for the bus lane, the traffic crossing and bike box isn’t colour coded again. I think less...

In London I remember in the 00s most bus stop shelters using a design from the 80’s I think. Lots seemed to be replaced in the 10s and 20s. I know there is another new style bus shelter I’ve seen. But because in the 00s there were a lot of 80s style bus stops which are still around but rarer it...

I notice this with aventras and just noticed it on a class 805. I think they open inwards but don’t remember. I know electrostars had sliding cab doors.

Growing up in the early 00’s I noticed metroline brought alx400’s in the late 90’s/ early 00’s but then stopped until around 05. Most double deckers were Plaxton President but with different gearbox systems, some b7tl’s and some Dennis chassis I think. They never brought Gemini 1 bus builds. I...

Do new buses have air conditioning or is it only limited to certain buses? I know the Irizar bus has air conditioning. I did read a post that buses made after 2024 have air con but I hardly use buses so don't know. I do know E400 BYD cities I use to use had fans but definitely not air...

I’m sure similar thread might have been posted but I can’t find it so made this one. I’ve been using the Elizabeth core section a few times this week. I have seen online that people have complained that the concrete panels stain so are a bad design choice. I’m not sure about that, I think maybe...

Was just looking at the tube status now. When I get met line there were a few times it had track faults. A few times it was running a good service but would noticeably slow down around Willesden Green southbound. Neasden southbound as well.

Recently I began cycling to work. Despite involving more physical exercise I finds that it’s less stressful than taking the tube. It’s a bit longer, only by 10-20 minutes but that’s because I have to walk to the train station. I think the few times I’ve commuted to work by tube since cycling...

I remember ribbon glazing (idk if that’s the correct term) being a big thing when London buses became low floor in the late 90s. However future London buses seemed to use rubber sealed windows, then it seems like e400mmc went away from just using rubber seals and current ev models seem to all...

I was thinking plug does are already used in intensive services like the Elizabeth line. But the Elizabeth line also has longer dwell times than a tube train.

I'm just wondering since I have heard the Northern Line extension is actually louder. Shouldn't safe noise levels be a consideration or even compulsory for new tunnel construction?

When I use the 1996 tube stock I have noticed some trains have more modern looking side door panels inside where the button is positioned at the bottom of the metal button panel as opposed to the top and has a square key on the white panel, as opposed to just being on the bottom gray panels...

I’m just curious as to if it’s northbound or southbound. I know going south there is always a sharp jolt after the platform. In fact I’ve wondered if it poses a risk to train derailment, though obviously that’s probably me being overly dramatic.

I’m just wondering and was the 73 stock struggling with leaf fall always a thing.

What are your opinions of them if you have any.

I noticed a jubilee line train I used today sounded higher pitched than usual. It was quite pleasant. https://jumpshare.com/s/plrNWNXlcPZkIRZcqfAF Train car number was 96481

I was just wondering because I’m on an s8 stock terminating early due to a defect with the train according to the driver. This has happened a few times I use this train daily at rush hour, like occasionally. I haven’t experienced this with other tube stock like I use the 09 daily although in zone 1.
