I thought it was for night tube actually, so the underground could be open when the station was closed

For those asking what this means here is my attempt at a summary, hopefully not too patronising: You can think of this as being about dust. Normal dust in a house varies from around 1 micrometre to 400 micrometres in size. A micrometre is 1000 times smaller than a millimetre, to give an idea a...

Looks like the last Manchester train got caught behind it 2 hours ago and has been stuck since

I understand from the conductor of our train that this is a nationwide restriction

Any ticket acceptance on MML for AWC passengers?

My understanding is the new substation is a way off still. I know some work was carried out but seems to have fairly ground to a halt and not restarting imminently?

I've heard a similar story of the Humber Ferry being particularly popular during the afternoon with locals who rode backwards and forwards drinking until the pubs reopened

I would expect that a lot of people have one change already in most journeys due to having to change from bus / tube / tram / car / very local train service at the station. That means that a single change rail journey could often be a two change overall journey which is a lot less appealing...

Great news, thanks so much all for the help.

Hi, I'm traveling from Apsley to Stockport on Monday afternoon leaving around 1740. I had understood that an off peak ticket wouldn't be valid, restriction 9I, due to the evening peak on trains out of Euston. However NRE seems to be showing off-peak single available on any afternoon train...

Worked recently in an area of Liverpool where trough routes of cables had been filled with concrete around the cables as theft had been so bad. An effective solution to stop sticky fingers but you can imagine how much more awkward any work to replace, repair or run new cables or troughing is.

I don't know about the specific locations you mention but typically at junctions it is provided for a short distance for overrun protection in case of wrong route as you hypothesise. The driver maybe should challenge the route but it makes things a lot easier if there is some mistake.

That lat/long gives grid reference TQ489878.

Don't return your card. It doesn't belong to your employer and you will need it in your new job.

This idea sounds like it would allow private companies to cherry pick the profit making areas of the network whilst leaving the government to pick up the tab for the loss making areas. Difficult to see how that would offer good value for taxpayers.

When first installed they were set off accidentally a few times by p-way waving a shovel near them...

You are quite correct it is an axle counter. The yellow box is sometimes called a 'mushroom' informally.
