    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    I use Real Time Trains to find out the headcode of the train I'm travelling on, then use Traksy to find out what platform the train is on (if it's in), then hang around in the proximity of that platform!

    Former station names still in use today

    Ah yes of course, forgot about that one! Bit embarrassing seeing as I grew up in Stockport, and regularly park my car there when commuting to work!!!!

    Why doesn’t more freight run at night?

    Can definitely verify that! Two of my recent night shifts have seen me divert via the West Midlands due to engineering works on the Trent Valley, and other night shifts have seen me running via the Trent Valley, but bi-directional!

    due to a short notice change to the timetable...

    Going slightly off tangent here but I heard an amusing one at Crewe the other night saying a train was delayed "due to the train making extra stops because a service was cancelled". Ordinarily I'd get this; a stop order being put on, however the train in question this particular evening was the...

    Use of Green Flags

    Conductors/Train Managers also use green flags at stations where the station staff give the "RA" signal to the driver. The Conductor/Train Manager waves the green flag, closes their local door and waits for the station staff to operate the "RA" indicator as opposed to giving "two on the buzzer".
