Perhaps it's time for Trent to swallow their pride and buy some second hand buses, or, heaven forbid, some double deckers.

When did fault free running become a legal requirement? Was there a time when the railway put things into service and hoped for the best?

We have the Travel South Yorkshire ones in Derbyshire too!

DPD parcels can be collected without the QR code but two forms of I.D. are required.

Not many people would want pylons appearing near to where they live. However, there's a need to see the bigger picture. Any new transmission route adds to the resilience of the grid as a whole, as it's not just about moving electricity from A to B. Given the choice between more pylons and more...

72 stock low density? It has the same interior that the 67 stock had on the Victoria Line and nothing about that line is low density.

I think one of John Glover's books contains a picture of the Northern Line interior. Even more interesting would be to see the guard's panel setup on these. Did they keep the same panels they had before refurbishment?

"Hoping to run" is probably more accurate, given recent trends.

This change has once again left Hazel Grove with very few electric trains.

It's Marks & Spencer.

I see. So when they're on a 507/508 they are a guard and when they're on a 777 they're a train manager?

When did Merseyrail guards become "Train Managers"?

The Piccadilly Line 1973 stock had a male announcer when it was first refurbished. It only triggered when the driver entered one of the codes, so it wasn't heard very often.

It probably would have added on another £5 million to the final bill.

The lack of an evening service between Bakewell and Buxton has been a glaring omission for years. If the railway had remained, there would, no doubt, be a regular service throughout the evening. I'm surprised the BSIP funding hasn't addressed this.

Did they do the original timings test run for the Breezer at 3am with a prevailing wind?
