    Level Crossings – My idea for a radical new approach

    Probably the best thing to do would be to ban trains completely. This way the poor incredibly stupid could be much safer. Even better make everybody stay at home!

    Weird Things You See People Do on the Railway

    So al78 the little old lady who isn't happy with you had better watch herself! Really folks maybe it would be a good idea to leave the office in the office, and stop treating the train like your bedroom! Try having a day of thinking of other people, I know this isn't fashionable these days but...

    Passenger etiquette?

    After witnessing some of the bad behaviour on trains and reading of it on here, I can't help but think it's a good job we don' t all carry guns!

    Daily Mail on the attack over driver wages

    The MPS want to get more control of the Internet to stop "fake news". But this rubbish is OK?

    A bag left on a train - it costs £24 to get it back

    There seems to be a really important point being missed here. So, a person gets on a form of public transport. They leave a large, or small, bag on the train or whatever. They then leave the train, without the bag. Would you move it or look in the bag? Only if you don't believe in terrorists...
