    SSR resignalling

    The line and stations (except Wimbledon) were sold to LUL in 1994 as part of the process for privatisation. The arrangement itself is rather complex in that the civils and track is owned and maintained by LU, to LU standards, however much, but not all, of the signalling and power assets are...

    Should BTP be absorbed into the regular Police forces?

    BTP do not hold PTS. They have their own track safety training however do not undertake activities such as taking line blocks and so on. In most instances they would go on the track under the authority of a Network Rail Mobile Operations Manager (Mom), or their equivalent for other railway...

    Increasingly sad state of London Underground trains - graffiti and disrepair

    When I lived in Birmingham in the late 2000s, every single bus had etched windows on the back half of the upper deck. I suppose buses have fewer panels that make tagging less attractive and the tagging that does appear gets a lot less visibility as it’s typically only done at the back and can...

    The Sun - Misleading Story - Google News App

    Click bait media websites are really good at this, every week I see on my Facebook page a headline from a Reach plc publication which says something like “all the London Underground lines to be closed this weekend,” obviously intending people to believe that the entire network is closed, however...

    Nether, the machines at Harrow-on-the-Hill are London Underground's Passenger Operated Machines which operate off bespoke hardware (largely from the late 1980s and early 1990s) and software.

    The Forum Turns Twenty!

    That is the domain name we are currently using, we started as railuk.org, until 2006 when the site was split into a info/news/blog style site which retained the original domain, and then the forums website which is on the current domain.

    Intentionally Slow Station Clocks

    l can’t see who would benefit from this being a deliberate decision, unlike the National Rail network, the majority of customers of LU are not following a timetable.

    Increasingly sad state of London Underground trains - graffiti and disrepair

    There was no “GB News stunt,” it was organised by a group of people which involved a presenter of a programme on said channel, but nothing to do with the channel itself. If anything, however, I would argue that ever since said stunt, I have seen a lot more people discussing the state of the...

    I have some old railway magazines: RAIL, Railways Illustrated, entrain, and Modern Railways largely from 2003-2005 era. Also some Modern Railways from 1963 and 1964. I remember when I was younger you could often buy these at preserved railways which were presumably donated by visitors but I...
