    Devices, operating systems and web browsers apparently favoured by the over-70s

    My mum has a Doro 8030 and I find it harder to use and more awkward than my Samsung Galaxy Note 10. Doro phones are supposed to be pensioner friendly.

    Greater Anglia Rolling Stock Updates

    There needs to be high level sackings, this situation is a joke, I wouldn't be surprised to see commuters kicking off and taking some kind of protest action some of them are paying thousands of pounds for this rubbish.

    Eating smelly food on trains

    Modern freedoms are a green light to thuggish and unthoughtful behaviour among the underclass who then leave smelly food cartons and coffee cups all over the train tables and seats

    Overcrowding - are redundant LHCS and HST sets the answer?

    It seems that these days there are a lot of very small tails wagging very large dogs.

    Why is the GEML always closed on weekends?

    I think that the issue is that despite having endless weekend engineering works and closures at my sister's local station Ponders End she has seen zero improvement to the service for about thirty years and to add insult to injury the station office has been permanently closed.

    What would be your dream train?

    As the title suggests, I was wondering what people's dream/fantasy train would be. Mine would be a 2EPB top and tailed by deltics being absolutely thrashd up the ECML.

    Merseyrail to ban smoking on station property (except car parks)

    I remember the day after the smoking ban watching a man being told off for smoking on the platform just as an 37 come through belching black smoke everywhere and thinking how stupid to ban smoking on a wind swept platform in the middle of nowhere.

    313s on Southern: appalling

    465s could be fantastic if given a decent refurbishment and would make a good replacement for 313s , every other train company with PEP stock are getting rid of it, it's knackered.

    Ugliest Train in the UK?

    I think 345 and 700 are very ugly, as for gangway connections on the front, I love the simplicity and function of CEP VEP etc
