    Class 375 Heat and Stink

    As a regular user of Class 375 I have noticed that the stink in coaches with the big toilet is bad and the heating is sometimes on even in hot weather, is the smell due to bad maintainence or is it a design issue like the Voyager stock which is made by the same company?

    Time Travel, what would you go back and see?

    I would have to go back to 1960 to see and ride the Golden Arrow through Kent. On a non rail theme I would go back to 1973 because I could put £25,000 on Red Rum to win the Grand National.

    Oddest Passengers seen on Public Transport

    The posh schoolkids getting on at Tonbridge can be quite odd especialy when they 'text' the one sitting next to them, and shreeking like mad when we bounce on some points.

    Least favourite stock

    The best thing about 465/9s is that the first class is different to second class, unlike most of the other mainline stock in this area.

    Waterloo Station - What New Shops?

    I would love to see a 'Poundland', to annoy outlets that think it is acceptable to charge vastly inflated prices for chocolate bars, sandwiches, books, batteries and soft drinks.

    Least favourite stock

    Class 508s were not nice, horrid seats, unpleasent smell and somewhat prone to going wrong, glad to see them off the Medway valley line, 465/466 are great for them services.

    Third rail only EMUs numbered with '3'

    I think that the '3' prefix on southern stock could be reexamined, things were easier to understand with letterd prefix such as BIL HAL SUB CIG VEP etc, all of these were both descriptive and easy to remember, new prefixes could be invented for each unit type could be invented by all of us on...

    Booze on the train

    Thinking about it, I am in favour of drinking on long distance, well staffed trains but not D.O.O commuter trains, it seems that with no guard, some people will cause trouble.

    Booze on the train

    For a long time there has been a booze ban on the tube, should there be a ban on mainline trains? I have been made very nervous by drunken youths on D.O.O services, the trains are open plan now so you are stuck with them, when I was young at least I could get an apartment all to myself from...
