    Luton DART and Luton Airport Parkway Updates

    What's the price difference between this and the bus? Will the shuttle bus still exist as a cheaper option?

    Luton DART and Luton Airport Parkway Updates

    Stupid question, but why is it cable run rather then maglev or a normal way like the DLR or Gatwick or Heathrow monorails?

    Stations that are over a river in the UK?

    Thanks. I think Blackfriars is the only one that nearly the entire platform is over a river.

    Is Blackfriars the only station in the UK that's over a river?

    Foot crossings and CCTV?

    Do all foot crossing have CCTV? Certainly on the Southern network, I've never seen any unless they are purposely hidden? The reason i ask is I saw this news article today and that CCTV is very good.

    Estimates of station usage for 2020/21 published - Waterloo toppled after 17 years in top spot!

    Some odd stats. Doleham (the least used station in Surrey) was down -96%. Not sure where 3074 passengers came from (2019), the station is in the middle of nowhere with only a few farms close by. Gatwick was down 92%, again surprising as there's plenty of commuters.

    Rochester station roof

    This is a pretty new station, why didn't they build the roof to cover the whole platform length? Run out of money?

    (Partial) West Anglia route additional third track and new station at Meridian Water

    Geoff's video. I'm surprised at how many passengers where on that train at 5am! I feel sorry for them having to get into work that early!

    East Croydon footbridge?

    Such a shambles. It would be great if they opened up the other half side of the bridge to put more shelter and retail units.

    Anyone know when this will be fully open, as it's been in it's current unfinished state for years now!

    Train waiting outside East Croydon?

    Often on platform 4 trains coming into London wait at the 1st set of signals underneath the bridge, even though the platform is empty and the next signals at the end of the platform is either red or amber. I'm no expert, but why can't the train pull into the platform?

    Beggars at railway stations

    I highly doubt most London commuters give them any money, me included.

    Waiting in a coffee shop without purchasing anything?

    There's no toilet there, only the station wide one.

    Waiting in a coffee shop without purchasing anything?

    There's no other indoor space to wait on that platform though.

    Waiting in a coffee shop without purchasing anything?

    As it has been very cold this week, I've been waiting 10-20 minutes inside Starbucks at Woking plat 5 as the very small waiting room is full. Staff have asked me to leave as I have not bought anything. Are they within their rights to do so?

    Victoria station NE entrance closure

    No it just said on the hoarding at the station.

    Victoria station NE entrance closure

    I was dismayed to learn that the large NE entrance out to Wilton Road will be permanently closed and replaced by a retail outlet. This leaves people in a very dangerous situation as the only other entrance is the tiny one by the bus stop which is not fit for purpose. There is often a crush of...

    East Croydon departures board CIS change

    They recently changed the main departures board from showing trains arriving in order, to each section being a platform. I personally don't like this as I cannot see at a glance what trains are coming in and when, which makes quick planning difficult.
