    Caledonian Sleeper

    Staff onboard and display screens are more than adequate for getting information to the people that need it. How are you to use X/Twitter without the bright light that is your phone or tablet ….?

    London waterloo must be the winner? 24 platforms

    Northern line train evacuation at Clapham Common

    … And requires the presence of staff on the platform. Would dread to think how long that would take to get to shall they not miraculously be ok the platform in question already.

    London Overground lines to officially be given names: any guesses on what the names might be?

    Makes it a bit hard to name when the actual DLR routes can be changed. And adds costs if the timetable changes a route. Currently in the same sense Elizabeth Line has many routes (four destinations), yet it is combined into one line E.g can only get to Abbey Wood from Heathrow Terminal 5

    Elizabeth line: Commuters say service 'not what was promised'

    If passenger count is measured by weight, it helps explain why data shows more passengers were carried on the line after Christmas :D

    If you are driving slowly should you pull over to let other traffic pass?

    Whilst most of the arguments for/against pulling over have been around morally if it’s right or wrong, Rule 169 of the highway code states that slow moving vehicles should not hold up traffic, and allow traffic to pass where possible.

    Rail-replacement buses non-existent - Bournemouth-Southampton to-day.

    That’s a shame if true. As “x” is hardly a current market rate if this does not have adequate supply.

    Class 60 Headlights - Is This True?

    Intrigued by this I looked at a few videos. Around 16:28 you can see it stopped with headlights remaining on whilst stopped.

    Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

    I believe it was a joke as the authors prior picture was first. Showing a woman in front of a steam engine.

    London Waterloo retail - what's going on?

    I feel the problem with that is whilst the exit is big, the pathway after is mediocre and can get crowded with buses and people coming the other way.

    BBC reporting that Agency staff could cover strikes under law change

    You bring up about lack productivity due to furlough, however you miss the point that during the pandemic a reduced timetable was in place whilst retaining fully staffed numbers. Therefore whilst not on furlough, a lot of standbys (at home) were increased, instead of working.

    The overturning of Roe v Wade

    There was someone interviewing going around to anti mask events, with the attendees stating how they shouldn’t be told what to do. Only for them to seize up when asking if that applied to abortion.

    GWR withdraw some 800's due to cracks (ORR Report now published)

    That doesn’t look appealing…

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway

    If it is the union holding it up. Could SWR still sign off as the train works. Just not for operations

    Smart Motorways, is it time to end them?

    I think the way the m27 was completed was rubbish. No resurfacing of the road etc. Loads of existing lane markings still there. It’s a good job that no AI driven cars are allowed, although would like to see how they would manage it.
