    Class 175s to GWR

    What EMUs are currently spare? Anything similar to the Electrostar family? Could they remove the remaining Cardiff 800 diagrams and make them EMUs?

    GWR accused of disrupting Wales-England train links by Welsh Government

    It will be a "return" to Bristol for some drivers, who will have signed the route before when some FGW/GWR services were driven by drivers "leased" from TfW.

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    Apologies, I knew that but was being facetious. Let's just say if this was happening in Japan (which I am guessing it probably wouldn't in the first place) there would be extreme shame and culpability in Japanese work culture.

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    I am pretty sure the only similarities Hitachi in the UK and Japan share are a name.

    Odd connection announcement

    Quite but surely it should be programmable not to? Or maybe don't say it at all.

    Odd connection announcement

    I think the most random/stupid "change here" is annouced on trains arriving at Reading from Paddington which advise to change for the Railair to Heathrow.

    I can't wait to hear how much Kemi suddnely loves and cares about East Midlands road projects in 3, 2, 1....

    Help! Fined for failure to collect physical ticket!

    Shame the TE or RPI wasn't as enthusiastic about just issuing the TOD on their Star Mobile machine about fobbing off OP about appealing.

    What is the safest position to sit on a train ?

    As a member of train crew I can't help but have done some thought into some of the cabs we sit in since yesterday's events, especially on older traction.

    When are CCSTs going away and what about tickets with TfL journeys?

    Best coffee shops on the network?

    For station coffee that wasn't a SSP franchise, I always thought AMT was good. The station location I used is long gone now though.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Some of these buses are parked on the Silver Zone side of Bristol Airport now.

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but why do so many First bus drivers in Bristol not wear uniform? Is it due to a shortage of stock, or other reasons? Not uncommon to see bus drivers in full civvies including tracksuits etc and it looks a bit unprofessional.

    LNER Stevenage Pickup/Setdown

    On the 800 fleets, I believe the TMS knows its set down only and it turns off the exterior screens automatically.

    GWR has several OH offices, it could be somewhere else.

    First Group win new London Overground Concession

    This isn't a post for opening up an argument for or against private companies operating LO - but what exactly does FG (or any other transport company) bring to the party? Why cannot it be operated as its own entity owned by TfL like the tube?

    Class 175s to GWR

    I don't think the people of Cornwall are ready for a 180-175 mutilation, not least for the screaming brakes waking up half of Saltash.
