I see in the RAIB report for the Lumo overspeed incident that signal P468 at Peterborough has 5 different junction indicators (1,2,4,5,6). Is there any signal that has a full set of 6 junction indicators?

In this forum there are often stories of passengers being left stranded during disruption with no alternative transport being provided but I'm curious how this was dealt with in the past.

At Birmingham Snow Hill today, I noticed that the PIS display, after scrolling through the stations, noted that the next train was not calling at Small Heath or Tyseley. I was wondering if there are any other places where the PIS specifically mentions stations that the train doesn't call at.

Willesden Junction has two separate ticket offices, one at the Harrow Road entrance and one at the Old Oak Lane entrance. I'm surprised TfL hasn't tried to close at least one of them yet, and was wondering what the smallest station is with two distinct ticket offices? A related question is...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4669490/Frostrup-threatens-legal-action-thrown-train.html The train in question was the 2006 Paddington - Plymouth. Leaving aside her alleged behaviour for the moment, I am curious as to why GWR felt it necessary to run this train (the last of the...

Was passing through Stoke Mandeville today and noticed signs telling anyone heading to Stoke Mandeville Hospital to not get off and alight at Aylesbury instead. Do any other stations have signs telling passengers to use a different station for some local attraction? Mods' note: if anyone...

Once LOROL take over the West Anglia services it will require a minimum of 3 changes to get from Emerson Park to South Hampstead, despite them being run by the same TOC and only about 20 miles from each other. I can see a few other examples of three changes, but is there any pair of stations...

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to have a sticky thread in this forum purely for posting currently open vacancies? At the moment it can be difficult to tell which threads are about current vacancies, and which ones are discussing peoples progress in vacancies that closed months...
