Why would the driver need internal camera feeds?
I'm sure it's usefull in some circumstances.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what kind of signaling system will be deployed?

Hi all
Just wondering why there are a lot of cancellations of GWR services from Paddington to Cheltenham and back?
I can't see anything about industrial action.
Thanks
There are a few threads here about landslides but I don't know if this is one of them or something different.
Seems we have a problem with trees and the railway.

Can anyone confirm The Cotswold Venturer will stop at Stroud on its way from London to Worcester? The timings I have show it does but this is now very unusual.
Hi all
I'm coming up to the end of my first Sky Contract. I am currently paying £59 for Sky and BT Sport. I know people paying a lot less and getting a lot more.
I'm asking what you do when it's time to see what offers they will give you and any advice to get the best deal.
Thanks
Never mind all this new fashioned Covid 19, what about the good old flu?
I'm going to Superdrug on Monday to hopefully get my flu jab. I didn't have one last year as they were in short supply. I used to get them on the NHS because of astma, but as I don't have inhalers any more I'm paying for...
As part of the project to make the Stroudwater Navigation navigable up to Stroud (where the Thames and Severn canal (once owned by GWR) takes over and runs besides the railway up to Sapperton) a new bridge is requires a few miles south of Standish Junction.

Will this station be called 'London Old Oak' or will Common be added to the name?
That's assuming it's not called somthing else, 'London Parkway' perhaps?
So this is apparently a thing
I think BT Sport are getting a bit desperate for sport to show!
Events seem to include:
Stop before the cone;
Stop at the platform marker;
Something involving a large cut out pedestrian;
And hitting a inflated ball into inflated bowling pins.
Something I have often wondered about but more so now what with 'The Virus' going around.
How much of a train (especially the bits humans touch) has disinfectant and or bleach put over it? I'm talking about tables, buttons hand grabs and buttons? (especially the London Underground/Overground)...
EDIT: Location is Bradford-on-Tone. One fatality unfortunately.
Evening all
Just been 'told' that a train has hit a car. The incident is being reported as being at:
BRADLEY MILL HOUSE, WESTBURY ROAD, YARNBROOK TROWBRIDGE, BA14 6AB
I've had a look on Google Earth and although there are a few...
I'm watching a few late trains on the GWML including 1G11 which seems to make up then loose time. I know some people have access to information systems which gives detailed information on what's going on. Is this information available anywhere for us not in the employ of the railways?
Thanks in...
Hi all,
I used to use the very good UK Steam Info website which was quick and easy to see if something was coming down through Kemble and Stroud. Sadly the owner of the site has been very unwell and it has not been updated. I'm struggling to find a similar site where a quick and simple look can...
Hi all
wasn't sure where to put this, but I have left the box blank where you can have the option to receive email alerts when someone posts to a watch thread, however i still get emails saying someone has posted in 'such and such' topic. Is there something I'm missing? My deleted email box...
Hi all,
The timings for the Scotsman tour on Saturday 15th June are being kept a bit quite, but is there anywhere I could get an idea of what the approximate timings (specifically down the Stroud valley line) will be.
Thanks for any info
