I have seen a lot of "my railcard expires, but I didn't know" problems. This year, I got a reminder in the post that my physical railcard was expiring soon and warning me not to try to use it once expired. This arrived while the card was in its last month. I don't remember getting this in...

Shortest one I've seen in person was (nothing) on Lambeth Bridge

Except it is a further 12-18 months, on top of the.... Ages... So far

All these units going to Marchwood... Previous speculation about getting the line to Hythe going again, and putting a juice rail on it... Are they waiting for the Hythe line to reopen, ready to introduce the 701s on it?

Doesn't the signaller CCTV only work during the checking and lowering bit and then turn off? It's remote observation for the task, rather than prevention and detection of crime?

Or they will pay to refurbish them only to never use them in their new state

And stewardesses is the longest English word that can be typed with the left hand (in normal two handed typing)

We have always been at war with Eurasia, and the 1030 service never existed I rarely travel by train now, so maybe things have changed a lot since I was a more regular user... How common is it for services to disappear on the day, other than when something has messed up the line or industrial...

We've changed the voice in the announcement. Time to write a new training package that includes that change, see you in another six months

Nah, this Monday is the perfect day for making such claims

Use them? Wait... I'm a few days early for making such an outrageous suggestion

Something I have a curious interest in at work (as opposed to a Work Interest) is human factors and interactions. The tram involved had been recently fitted with a new vigilance system (paragraph 12). The driver stated that this required slight alterations to the way they operated the tram...

You thought you would be calling at HAM and EGG, but end up stuck in POO all morning

Aha! This is all a cunning plan to extend the life of the vehicles!

And it is requested as part of my vetting. Many years ago, I was asked some questions by the police because my old phone number was being used as part of a fraud scheme. I was the last registered user. That held up my DBS as it was a case under active investigation, but now, many years later it...

As I've said elsewhere, my work place requires and requests that we notify our vetting person to get an update form for any police interaction - including as a witness. One example given of a time that we need a change of circumstances (COC) form is activating a speed camera and receiving a NIP...

Yeah, it wasn't really a problem to me. I meant more that it must be frustrating to the guard having to keep disagreeing with the disembodied voice on the train

I've had it on one that had an extra stop at Wimbledon. Platform announced the Wimbledon stop. Train might have? Perhaps? Train sets off... Oyster cards are not valid on this service. Or it was at Clapham and Oyster isn't valid after the next station. Guard comes down. I present my Oyster...

If something fails testing, is that Revenge of the Sith?

We see things get repainted into Swallow. We see BR blue, with modifications for doors. Has anything come back in an NSE derived livery? (Other than SWT slamdoor, before anyone says it)
