    Getting passengers to spread out along the platform

    Victoria line on the underground is good for this , walk to the end platform ( rear of the train ) 9/10 the last carriage will be reasonably empty with seats available. Slight change of direction , however it seems people using HS1 and boarding at St Pancras seem to lose all brain function they...

    Use of phones while driving.

    It was difficult to see into the cab due to the design, however I think I picked up two heads. Not 100% but it’s made me think someone was there as surely they would not to stupid enough to a) have a phone call and b) be taking so loud , laughing etc to make it that obvious

    Use of phones while driving.

    My bad. Just got off the train i think I saw someone two people in the cab ( not 100% ) maybe someone was in the back of the train as there was definitely no one who got in after.

    100% no one else is in the cab. The driver walked through changing ends to start the journey

    Use of phones while driving.

    On a train and can hear the driver having a conversation on their phone while driving ( currently 10 minutes into the journey and they are still on the phone ). Surely just like a car a train driver should not be having a phone call while driving?

    Misuse Freedom Pass Court Summons

    My two pence worth. I think the nursing union may take a very dim view on this, after all it brings the OP integrity, honesty into question, what if they have done the same filling out forms. I.e saying they had given medication when they have not etc. What would people thought be if a police...

    How flexible are train speeds to a diagram and line speed limit.

    Thanks for the replies. I’m surprised it’s set to max line speed , I’m guessing that’s why on lines such as GA Hertford east line they seem to sit at stations for a while , due the the newer trains better acceleration they get to the next station a bit earlier than the scheduled diagram ( still...

    How flexible are train speeds to a diagram and line speed limit.

    I’ve always been curious as to how much flexibility there is between line speed limit and what the speed is set for the diagram? For example, if the line maximum speed is 40mph, I presume the diagrammed speed is below that; say 35mph, thus giving a bit of room for the driver to catch up time if...

    Tbh I’m not sure what’s changed, for example I used SWR on Thursday which have been nationalised a good few months ago , they still have the private operators name on some of the trains ( can’t remember its name ) however it seems to be on the newer trains and also for the first time ever I...

    Missing London Zone 1 - pink readers?

    I’ve lived in London all my life , I can’t honestly say it’s the first time I’ve ever heard about pink card readers , tbh I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them ( I used Stratford and Highbury and Islington on and off )
