    Cycling to work as a train driver

    I'm a signaller but ride 8 miles for 0600 and 1800 shift starts. I have a car, but do my best to cycle as for an extra 10 mins at the start and end of the shift it saves me having to set aside in excess of an hour to do something like go to the gym.

    Journeys between stations that are quicker to cycle

    I reckon i could beat a train from Exeter Central to Exeter St Davids, but the train would win the other way...

    Should FOCs be required to fit Electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes?

    Road Hauliers also currently only pay for around 1/3 of the damage they cause to roads, through fuel duty and excise duty. Would you like to see their costs upped so as to demand value for the tax payer as well?

    Great Western Electrification Progress

    Until about 1 month ago I was a TVSC Bristol Signaller, you can currently go to/from any platform to any line in the current layout. The main change with the bristol east upgrade is that there will be 6 running lines through throughout as opposed to 5 and a siding.

    [Trivia] Most Expensive Diagram To Ride On All Day

    I mean, you could just get a Heathrow Terminal 5 to Paddington weekly season for £64 (according to nationalrail.co.uk) so it wouldn't actually have to cost you very much

    GWR Class 800

    And putting 1B81 would mean it would require to use a 15mph crossover leaving the station which would negatively effect it quite well. ARS will pull off straight through Bristol Parkway, when it's switched on.

    GWR Class 800

    I was working TVSC Stoke Gifford last night, main reason for putting you into 1 was 1B81 about 4 mins behind, they got a clear run into 2 then whilst you were doing station duties. Etc
