You can't be serious? Perhaps we should just skip the alcohol card and go straight to communism?

No, as terrorism does not require 'political' motivation.

Derailing a train and causing hundreds of deaths doesn't count as terror because there was no political movement behind it :lol:

Infrastructure in London when directly compared to other places may seem excessive or unfair, but with such a densely populated urban environment it is far far more necessary just to keep everything running relatively smoothly. Perhaps overcrowded pacers or low frequency services may be annoying...

Or simply follow London Underground's example by ensuring all cab glass is bulletproof. Perhaps modify rolling stock to deflect objects on the track.

More funding for rail and a more frequent revised timetable.

I certainly agree that there is a problem with hardly anything for the youth to do. "When a society takes away all adventure the only adventure left is to destroy it". When it comes to safety campaigns you have to strike a balance between giving important information and potentially giving...

It is caused by stupidity. I'm sure people who do this think the train will stop when it sees the obstruction, they think trains can stop as quickly as rubber wheels on tarmac. If they are trying to derail trains and kill hundreds then that is essentially terrorism.

New carpets, new lino, washed seats, new signage, resprayed grab poles, new heating vent covers, removal of permanent excrement odour.

Yes, it does. OP is asking why the shape is like that.

The lettering seems custom made for it rather than a font.

Southeastern say that any journey on a 395 is a "first class experience" and thus no 1st class section is required. First class on 375s seems a little pointless, as the seating is the same, there are no longer refreshment trolleys, and now people will be walking through to reach other parts...

Interesting to see it in London, very different to the quiet rural setting of the Paddock Wood-Strood line. I like it much better than the white and yellow. It blends into the scenery and looks far more civilized.

Such scum is the reason why we can't have nice things! Look at the amount of yellow tinted plastic that has replaced glass on bus shelters in the UK. It looks horrible, but no one can smash it.

I would argue that the age of the stock really is not a problem. Pacers were designed cheaply as a stopgap, a barebones bus body on 2 axles. How long does a bus last? Well in London it is about 7 years. Proper rail stock can easily last 50 years or more with some refurbishments and upgrades.

Making people believe they have seen a real person chewed up by a speeding express? I'm all for accepting reality, when it is real. But that would be over the top and wrong to trick people. A more rational approach would be to increase the amount of education about railways in schools and...

I did not mention the yellow line, rather, standing well back. If I had epilepsy, I would take great care to remain as far away from the platform edge(s) as possible. The further away, the less risk of falling on to the tracks.

Interesting, I did not know that. Clearly usability of the train is more important than aesthetics. Do you ever find it difficult to locate the doors once they are opened, for example on stock where the doors slide into the inside of the bodyshell rather than on the exterior?

It is an off peak time. :roll:

Why would it fail? If they are so worried then use a reliable loco which is in every day service from DB/Colas/Freightliner etc to move whatever needs moving.
