    Random question about PTS certification

    Oh yeah jumped through those hoops and it doesn't, staff turnover seems to have been a massive factor.

    Random question about PTS certification

    Slightly off topic but in my job I've been trying to add equipment to an EE phone mast on NR land via NR for over 7 years and still no closer having spent over £15k in the process. This is with access off a public highway and only really in a drop zone where NR has any involvement to the works...

    Unbelievable, Entitlement at its worst... (couple refuse to move out of clearly reserved seats)

    Not really, a realistic interpretation of how social media can be manipulated. Who was witness to this... Have you heard of fake news.... Maybe I'm glass half empty after having a staff first class pass so never needed to venture into cattle class. I am joking on last point as my pass got...

    Unbelievable, Entitlement at its worst... (couple refuse to move out of clearly reserved seats)

    The incident may have occurred but don't all rise to the potential embellishment from this Tweeter. Look at her profile, posts, followers and it's possibly for added effect IMHO. If true you'd have just got your three kids to watch Youtube videos on full blast. They'd soon move with rubbish and...

    BB 13 13 overhead catenary number.

    I've a photo from the 1990's that I can't remember where I took it from a moving train but as per title BB 13 13 is in shot on upright. Got a feeling it's from Preston area. Anybody know where this location is?

    Cafes and bars at stations where you can watch trains/trams

    Bristol Parkway to right just before barriers upstairs, restaurant food place windows that overlook all tracks. Weston Super Mare, Off The Rails on platform. Yatton, The Railway Inn adjacent to station entrance but can see the train pass.

    JohnW1's Photos

    I'm quite surprised how many places I recognised instantly without scrolling down considering I've barely been on trains for 25 years and even most of my guesses were been in the ball park of the region. A good archive of pictures and knowledge you've got. I should probably do something more...

    Should disabled users upgraded to first class receive the full first class offering?

    What's the price difference between 1st class as you can buy a wheelchair for £52 quid on eBay.

    Trivia: Stations that have other lines passing through or near them without platforms.

    Caldicot has already split from GWML where station is GWML is beginning to head down to Severn Tunnel after Severn Tunnel Junction Station and Caldicot heads to Gloucester. Not sure it meets OP's criteria unless I've misread it.

    Possible non-passenger use of Class 769s

    Also add Avonmouth, Bristol 375m from rail line. Oh and the BTM RM abandoned rail connection in favour of BPW new build that shut.
