    It's 65 for Network Rail, but 62 for most (if not all) TOCs.

    Staff breakfast in the fares database

    Does that mean if you buy the Staff Breakfast you can get off, get on the following train and get another breakfast?

    ASLEF website suffers cyber attack

    And that is often years out of date.

    WCRC loses judicial review in High Court

    If that is fraud then many TOCs are committing fraud hundreds of times a day!

    LNER to offer free period products on trains

    Although if someone is unable to afford sanitary products, then presumably they will be unable to afford to travel on LNER in the first place!

    Kingston to Dartford, which route?

    One example would be Deptford - New Cross. This is charged as Z1-2 assuming travel via London Bridge. There is no alternative route shown, even though you could travel via Charlton and Lewisham (although most people would just walk it!)

    Looks like they'll have to slum it back to London on a regular train though!

    Poor regulation decisions at Rugby?

    That would affect all trains though, not just one.

    Clapham Junction - Is getting from platform 1 to platform 9 in six minutes at 11pm on a Tuesday doable?

    If it's at the O2 Forum, then you are nearer Tufnell Park than Kentish Town West anyway.

    Northern trialling PRT tickets from ticket machines

    The problem is people may try and edit e-tickets by changing the date, knowing the barcode won't be scanned. That's a lot easier than trying to change the date on an orange card ticket.

    Class 710 LO

    I think there was a requirement to some high speed testing on DC power (higher than you can do on the Watford line anyway).
