    Britain's noisiest trains

    Locomotives may be noiser, but there is more separation between the engine and passenger areas. On a 150, or any DMU, the engines are below the passenger compartment. For wheel screeching, Thameslink St Pancras has to be added. Deafening.

    Man stabbed on Guildford to London train near Horsley

    My thoughts and prayers go to his son, witnesses, and the driver.

    Graffiti on trains

    It is often said that art is subjective. I am personally not a fan of most of the globs of ugly lettering with colour vomited onto it.

    Can paper train tickets be recycled?

    I would shred them as they have information that could be used by burglars

    Graffiti on trains

    I see lots of white vans with graffiti. Also, there's the risk of upsetting the owner of the vehicle, trains are owned by faceless companies.

    "Homeless" person removed from Megabus in the middle of the night

    No one wants someone who stinks the bus out, especially on a long overnight coach trip. And if they haven't even bought a ticket... Well I don't know how they expect to remain on the coach.

    The Worst Thing To Ever Run On The Network

    Likely as they do not work with design consultants when negotiating new stock. Some do a good job though, TfL and Abellio seem to get it right.

    What is a 'thick Southern male voice'?

    What will happen to Northern, ATW & GWR if the Class 769 "FLEX" fails?

    Love the sound of the diesel engine then the classic electric motor.

    Why are we not building new underground lines?

    I'm not sure the OP means replicate the tube exactly for a new 'tube line'. Clearly, the deep level Underground concept is outdated as the trains are too small.

    LNER Azuma (Class 800/801)

    Honestly, that does look very clime-able, especially so to children and intoxicated adults.
