I've tried to see if this is covered elsewhere, and had little luck out of @TFLRail on Twitter too, but I'm curious, when exactly will ALL services run by TFL Rail be stopping at Acton Main Line? As it currently stands they are essentially copying the service pattern passed on from GWR, Hayes &...

for quite literally the third time in as many weeks of traveling Southern I’ve been in a carriage where this box has been left open and swinging around like a flag in the wind! What’s the protocol on these being left open? Surely a nefarious passenger could at best play in a jaunty tune over the...

Got my first interview for a career in the railway industry this week, it's for the position of "external social media advisor" at Southern Rail, if anyone here has any advice generally, and indeed specifically to both the GTR interview process and TOC social media interviews in general, please...

My GatEX service came to a hault just shy of tinsley a few days ago, and I was able to get a look at something rather odd. I saw four or five freight containers coupled to two 8-car class 700's... Is that a common practice? What could they have been doing?

What's the earliest or first time you remember finding yourself interested, fascinated, curious or inquisitive as to the operation of railways? I remember as a school kid I would have to get the train to and from home, and I noticed the very slight differences in the trains that served my...

Amid the madness of the Southern Railway situation, I've noticed A LOT more of the old FCC Purple liveried 377's making the TL rounds, rather than the southern bodies serving TL duties - as was common for a period, has anyone else noticed this, and if you'll pardon some speculation, could it be...

A lot of popular media seems to be giving privatised rail a real bashing, especially when it comes to the likes of Govia, Virgin, First etc etc. Has anyone else noticed a change in public opinion on a private railway?
