    Unnecessary features on rolling stock that are bad or inconvenient for passengers

    Oooh...Now where do I start?!?!? :shock: Toilets:SENSOR TAPS!!! What in the name of Odin is wrong with a floor stud, especially if it's connected in parallel to a sensor so those who struggle with one can use the other?Overloaded toilet paper dispensers that shred the paper rather than serve it...

    SWR P/T roles and Returning to Employment?

    Hey guys! :twisted: Sorry for not having come to RUK in such a long time, but been concentrating heavily on sorting out stuff in my personal life, as well as continuing to learn to get along without stable Internet access! Main element of the former has been trying to get myself back on the...

    1996CE stock(?) along the Northern line (Bank branch) to Kings Cross/St. Pancras... :cool: Then I'm afraid we'll have to wait around for about five hours whilst I take the golden opportunity of a guaranteed 373 bash to Paris and back before those accursed "Velaro" things finally start...

    A further TEN 373s to be scrapped?!?! That's not just a tragedy, that's absolute Effingham sacrilege! :cry::shock::cry::sad::cry::shock::cry: We can only hope that the new 374s find themselves "Ankunft...Sowie, ein tausend wöchen später vorfahren"* or one reason or another... * - Yes, I...

    'DO NOT SURCHARGE CORRECT POSTAGE RAISED BY REVENUE PROTECTION TREAT AS 2ND CLASS'.

    Thanks for the gen on that, Pete! I've had quite a few Recorded deliveries do that to me over time - Including three Recorded items sold through eBay last month! :-) Is there an online claim form, or does one have to go through the minefield of trying to send them a hand-completed form...

    'DO NOT SURCHARGE CORRECT POSTAGE RAISED BY REVENUE PROTECTION TREAT AS 2ND CLASS'.

    Too bleedin' right! I had to receive an international package a while ago that needed a reasonable amount of import VAT (Under £3.00) to be paid on it. Seemed alright enough until I learned that Royal Snail add an "Administration Charge" of £8.00 on top of that! :shock: Since then, I've been...

    Proposed new GatEx livery on proposed new Class 387s

    I'm not at all bothered by the new livery, myself. It'd be nice to see at least one railway in the London area go red again after LUL stopped doing it. :-) On the other hand though: New 387s? What's wrong with the 442s, and what will become of them? (Back to SWT, I'd hope!) :twisted:
