    Birmingham (any) validity

    Thanks. Interestingly, the guard thought it probably would be valid but he didn’t really know.

    RMT strike referendum passed

    Does this mean the end of strikes for the time being and I can rely on the trains running to get me to the airport for my trip in January?

    Traksy Website

    Seems to be the same with traksy - 2K10 currently sat in Spalding station is apparently the 09:17 Halifax to Hull service??

    Traksy Website

    Slightly off-topic, but why does Open Train Times only show journey information for some head codes and not all? And even the ones it does show are often wrong.

    Trivia: Longest lever "throw" (distance between box and signal)

    Doesn't "throw" in this example mean the distance the lever needs to be moved from one setting to the other, not the length of the cable joining the signal/lever?

    Spalding bypass

    After getting no replies back in January, I'll ask again: Just wondered whether any line closures have been scheduled for the installation of the new bridge at Pinchbeck as part of the Spalding bypass construction?

    Minimum Service Levels Bill receives Royal Assent

    I didn't say the membership numbers were declining, I said their relevance was lessening.

    Minimum Service Levels Bill receives Royal Assent

    The public are losing sympathy with the rail unions, and teachers for that matter. I've worked in the NHS for over 30 years and have never taken industrial action, although the public are generally still behind us if we choose to.

    Minimum Service Levels Bill receives Royal Assent

    It's taking time, but as the older staff retire the railway unions are (thankfully) gradually becoming less relevant. Tick, tock.

    Trainline.com - release of customer data to TOCs

    After reading a few threads about trainline.com releasing customer data to a TOC, where do they stand in terms of data protection? I can understand them having to co-operate with the police, but to a TOC?

    What is this sign?

    It's a datum plate.

    Spalding bypass

    Morning. Just wondered whether any line closures have been scheduled for the installation of the new bridge at Pinchbeck as part of the Spalding bypass construction?

    Why aren't the platforms at UK railway stations renumbered?

    God not this again. Zero is just as valid a digit as one, got to love the imperial system loving folk

    Trivia: Stations still known by old names

    TBF, no-one in Huddersfield says "Leeds" at all <D

    Lumo overspeed incident at Peterborough (17/04/2022)

    You don't need to work in the industry to make an educated guess.

    Accidentally using my return ticket in wrong order

    Correct. As the "Birmingham" example demonstrates all too clearly.

    Stations that should have their platforms renumbered

    Got to love this irrational fear of zero. You probably still use Fahrenheit and imperial measures :rolleyes:
