    East Croydon to Reading advice

    Indeed. If they wanted the any permitted fare to not be valid via redh, surely it should be routed 'not Redhill'?

    Thameslink core broken - 13th July 26 - what could be done to improve things?

    If they were that clever in life, they'd realise it's not a twelve car with the unit number on the front

    Suffragette Line / London Overground coming disruption due to bridge repairs

    Surely it's planned closures rather than disruption?

    Incident in Manchester? 18/07

    Which is the way it should be. The one or two people in Control cannot possibly manage everything, and there needs to be delegation at a local level during times of major disruption

    East Croydon to Reading advice

    GWR isn't particularly reliable from Redhill.

    Imberbus - where to go?

    Catch a train to Salisbury, then a number 2 bus to West Lavington. Zero queue.

    SPAD at Eaglescliffe. 09Jul.

    Nothing to do with RAIB. Unless something major caused it, or it had major consequences

    Signal berth codes?

    What time were the lines blocked?

    Last bus cancelled and no help

    It's one thing when alterations are known about in advance, but on the day, live alterations, then that's a different matter. Even those bus companies with apps struggle to provide information, let alone alternative transport

    Lineside fire Stratford 10th July 26

    They'll use the drivers of all the cancelled trains

    Trivia: Simple journeys in London where the maximum journey time is too short? (and thus leads to an incomplete journey)

    Caterham to Tattenham you should be okay. It's in the other direction it's not possible

    Increase of TfL Incomplete Journey Fare Trial

    This has worked in my favour. TfL has merged two separate journeys before, when it was actually two physical separate journeys. So I paid only half the price. The whole system can be a bit messy, and the tenancy for National Rail to have mass disruption will only cause big problems, unless, once...

    Increase of TfL Incomplete Journey Fare Trial

    If people are going to have to chase TfL after they've suffered disruption for a refund, then surely it's going to undermine the whole system, and people will just use other forms of tickets? And the whole thing will be another waste of money

    Increase of TfL Incomplete Journey Fare Trial

    I can see where people have two maximum fares incorrectly charged during disruption, will just ring their bank up and do chargebacks. It's easy enough to get new cards with the same bank account if TfL start blacklisting cards under these circumstances

    Near miss with an access ramp at Norwood Junction station (RAIB)

    Don't forget you'll also need a mobile when dealing with faults and failures. There's also the times when your unit is auxed off do to an emergency isolation, and the signaller will need to ring your mobile to tell you when you can switch your train back on

    D78 stock - window modification

    Looks like an opening window was added, but to enable enough room for the door to be recessed, plating was added

    Fail to stop at High Wycombe (30/06)

    Signals display the condition of the line ahead. Their purpose is not to indicate to the driver which stations to call at

    History of the dispatch role

    Platform staff would use flags with DOO trains if there was no RA equipment (or it was faulty)

    Eastern Home Depots on the elizabeth line do have Station Control Room Operator?

    Romford ROC controls the Anglia Route of Network Rail, not Romford Station

    Statistically is the UK railway network now less safe?

    I seem to recall after Clapham, when they were trying to put a cost on a life, one life was worth the same as ten serious injuries. I'm not sure how a serious injury is defined, though
