Oh yes, apologies, I missed that.

I think the c2c signalling issue is separate from the fire, just coincidental.

I've not frequently noticed the lifts being out of order, personally. I agree that the escalators are a problem.

Not quite. They could use the lift from the Elizabeth Line platforms to the main upper ticket hall, then the other lift down to the SE platforms. No need to go out of the station.

If anything goes wrong on the Woolwich line it's fairly normal to divert the Rainham TL trains via Bexleyheath and Lewisham.

All That Mighty Heart, and Under Night Streets are both great for their attention to small details of daily life.

I've just travelled from Glasgow Central to London on Avanti and it was very pleasant. Well organised entry/exit/queueing arrangements, plenty of friendly staff on hand, no issues with taking a different train to the one I'd booked (which started at Motherwell).

I believe that during WW2 the GPO ran cables through some tube tunnels to carry BBC programmes between various studios and transmission control sites.

I absolutely love Patrick Keller's films.

How many train drivers, having been told that purple is now the emergency stop colour, will ignore someone waving a red light or flannelette petticoat at them, assuming they're doing it for fun? Also, what is the worst outcome of a train coming to an emergency stop because they've seen a...

TV comedy programme Oh Doctor Beeching. From the same writers as Hi De Hi and Allo Allo.

I live in South Thamesmead and use Abbey Wood station daily. I've never not got a seat. The trick is to not get on the first train to leave if it is filling up with people from a Thameslink or SE train, get on the second at the other platform.

Also many many more channels to fill, and presumably enough viewers and advertising revenue to make repeats still viable. Netflix, Paramount, Sky etc invest lots in new programmes.

Plenty of people don't do office jobs, and can't work from home. 24th December is a massive day for retail, leisure and hospitality in London. How would those people get to work?

The camera/screen idea sounds daft and pointless. I'm tempted to set a challenge to myself to take increasingly large luggage items on the escalators there and photograph myself on the screen. I wonder if I could borrow a piano from work?

I was in Lucca last week and saw quite a number of electric utility vehicles (postal delivery, rubbish collection, courier package deliveries etc). There were also at least two of the new Citreon Ami electric cars. The historic centre of Lucca has ancient narrow streets, so small vehicles are...

I put my monthly travel cost onto oyster cards when I get paid. I find it easier that way than waiting for numerous daily charges to be debited to my bank account, sometimes several days later.

There's the Woolwich ferry too.

That's my way too. 1720467029 I actually agree, constant loud announcements full of unnecessary rubbish (be careful in wet weather etc) make for a constant sensory overload.
