The Beeb have got a story up saying that a new Thameslink signalling system has failed; perhaps this and some earlier posts should be split into a new thread?

EDIT: Thanks for the thread move. :-)
Didn't it used to say at least the latter at some point? I have a vague early childhood (early-1970s) memory of seeing such signs somewhere.
EDIT: Or is that the point you were trying to make? ☺
Same here with the Redirect issue. Not had any trouble with it whatsoever until now (had no idea some people had been struggling) but had trouble getting on tonight.
Only managed it via a saved bookmark to Infrastructure & Stations and then doing a search for "Cookies" to find a suitable...
I remember when I was a little boy in the early 1970s, the GPO phonebooks recommended the use of "fife" and "niner" when reading out numbers over the phone in order to avoid confusion.
I was going to mention that one. I used to live quite near the SW entrance to the station, and found it immensely frustrating that I couldn't use the footbridge to go over to the NE side, instead having to climb up to the A409 road bridge with all the smoky road traffic, a ¼-mile steep detour...
One little question that's been bugging me the whole thread: why is it called Salisbury Tunnel Junction when the tunnel itself is called Fisherton Tunnel?
I realise it's probably just some kind of historical anomaly but I wondered if there was an actual definite reason/explanation.
While I'm...
Yeah, the lovely old Class 305/2s I used to ride on the WAML in the 70s and 80s rarely had the lights on during the day.
Again, no tunnels (no electrification past Bishop's Stortford back then, so the pair around Audley End weren't relevant. :-) ).
Ah, I am, even if not the latest version, so that may well be it.
Oh yes, so it does! However as you can see above, I found I didn't need to do that, but it's certainly simpler... thanks!
Works fine for me on my (now quite old) Android phone.
It does seem to have changed though since I originally downloaded them a year or two back. If I remember correctly, previously I just got a download link, but now I have to tap the "..." box on the right beside each filename. This then...
Although I had no major problem with the presentation (just with the stupid digs at hi-vis jackets), they really should take just the crash footage itself and make a 30-second 1970s-Public-Information-Film-style advert out of it.
Apart from anything else, seems a shame to go to all that effort...
