    Thameslink 377 on Southestern Duty?

    Indeed, one of the 377 diagrams incorporated the 16:20 London Charing Cross to Hastings - an express of 90 minutes petitioned for by Amber Rudd MP and, as such, called the Amber Rudd Super Express (abbreviate that yourself!) That changed earlier this year to 2x 375s instead of 377s. Then...

    East Kent Signalling Phase 2: Why's it still not switched on?

    I know MarkyT has already explained it's more than that, but I thought I could briefly add to it. Intentions (...ahem!) were for ife expired signalling will be replaced Longfield to Sittingbourne, re-control of signalling to different areas, upgrade of level crossings, demolition of signalling...

    Cannon St (London) Ticket Collection Machines

    Whilst the S&B TVMs are slower on the whole, I'm pretty sure Cannon Street have also been having frequent problems with their TVMs in recent weeks.

    I noticed exactly the same, poor signal for 3G on the e320's. Like yourself the only place I got it was at Ebbsfleet and in the tunnel.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    RLU and FLU markers will have different coloured borders (one purple, one blue). It's more that the 700s don't have side windows in the cabs. That could mean units stopping in inconsistent places, or slightly short. Therefore, to see the stop markers, the markers need to be a few feet in front...

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    There will also be 'FLU' signs too (abbreviation for 'Full Length Unit' aka 12 car 700, as opposed to RLU for 'Reduced Length Unit' aka 8 car 700 or ALL for both), although presume no FLU's gone up yet. 700 stop markers have to be placed in different locations to existing stop markers for same...
