    No train services to the Lewes Bonfire this year.

    I wasn't able to go but Sussex Police said that there were between 30,000 and 40,000 people there - this was quite a bit lower than last time 5th November fell on a Saturday.

    Disabled passenger hurt while alighting EMT service

    It depends on the type of wheelchair. On my wife's wheelchair only the person pushing/pulling can apply the brakes.

    Trivia: Railway station hotels?

    Yes - there is a 'private' gate at the end of the down platform which can only be used if you are going to the hotel. Is this the most recently built hotel with a dedicated access to a station?

    My idea for Waterloo to regain through services

    This was briefly looked at a few years ago but quickly rejected because of the huge capital cost, loss of capacity to/from Charing Cross and the relatively small benefit of through services between Kent and SWT land.

    Trivia: Stations that don't use the correct name of the place.

    I don't think I've seen Wivelsfield mentioned - it's actually in the northern part of Burgess Hill.

    Newhaven Marine

    I think the Newhaven Boat Trains were 12CEP + MLV in their heyday. Later became a 4 CIG attached/detached from a London train at Lewes.

    London Bridge Train/Platform Step/Gap

    Just to be pedantic - they are Railway Group Standards, not Network Rail Standards. Railway Group Standards are "owned" by the Rail Safety and Standards Board Limited. Decisions about Standards are made by a cross-industry committee which includes Network Rail, TOCs, FOCs, rolling stock...

    Gatwick Airport lines

    The intention was to use the spare capacity for a half-hourly Reading service but, as far as I know, there are no definite plans for this. I doubt any other routes through Gatwick could increase frequency due to other capacity pinch points on the Brighton line (e.g. East Croydon, Redhill and...

    Wallers Ash loops

    As far as I know, there is no absolute requirement for signals to be parallel, although it is considered to be good practise as it reduces the risk of drivers reading the wrong signal for the line they are on. If there is a good reason for not having the signals parallel (as at Wallers Ash) it...

    Railway Touring Company Seaford line trip

    I see that this tour is being repeated on the following day (8th June), albeit from/to Waterloo - must be proving to be popular.

    Didn't they used to berth in the 2 or 3 former sidings to the south of the loop?
