    Rail Adhesion Train (RAT) on the District line

    Am I right in assuming that there is a RAT which operates over the entire length of the District line? If so, is it the one consisting of D78 stock 7010/8123/17010/8010/7123, which I understand is stabled at Acton. Dependent on the above being true, is there a timetable available for it which...

    Trainspotting at Euston discouraged?

    On a recent visit to the capital, I thought I'd spend some time trainspotting at Euston.
