I recall back in the day, on all stocks, the lights would go on and off for a moment whilst the train gapped momentarily. Where does this still happen? I know the bakerloo line is one of these on trains where the new LEDs havent been fitted yet

Moderator note - split from : https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-710-lo.145774/ I do wonder whether at some point, tfl will have to consider building a third terminal platform at H&I in order to manage higher service frequencies. Out of interest, since the ELL now has multiple major...

I've noticed a couple of stations on the Watford DC line and West London line which have switched over from the London overground tfl style announcer (female) to the announcer heard across the UK (Anne), which also announces all stations on route, (although the London overground style announcer...

In the title really. Given that this is now is huge interchange station. I know that it instead serves Wembley Stadium but thought WP would have also have made sense for extra capacity - on match days at least.

I am not sure if this has been discussed before, but why do Piccadilly line drivers approach/enter stations (on the whole), at a considerably slower pace compared to other lines? I understand ATO lines are difficult to compare to as they will always approach at the max speed possible, but...

I've always wondered this, but why do National Rail have a station at both West Ruislip and South Ruislip? It seems quite strange to have stations this close (on a line which is clearly not a metro style one) for a line where both stations are already served by the frequent central line if you...

I am travelling to Manchester Piccadilly on the 19th Dec. We have found a much cheaper alternative is to travel via Crewe on LNWR then take a transport for wales service to Piccadilly rather than take a direct Avanti train from Euston. The train from Euston is a Crewe bound service which is...

What exactly is happening with this service? Does it still run 7 days a week? I have noticed that the service does not seem to run past Clapham Junction when it does run. What is the future like for this service given that there has been much speculation over its operation?

Between 1990 and 2000, the A60, C69, 67, 72, 73 were all refurbished, however, did refurbished examples ever run with non refurbished examples and if not, why was this not possible given that on National Rail, this happens all the time.

Of the original DLR stations which opened in the late 80s: 1. How many retain the original half-cylindrical glazed blue canopies with red railings and when was the latest examples of these shelters being removed? 2. Were these canopies ever extended? Looking at pictures from the 80s, there were...

So Greater Anglia ordered two different train types for both their intercity and suburban services. What was the point in this given both have the same top speed? Surely you could have just ordered the same stock but with the intercity ones having just one door and suburban ones having 2 doors...

Does anyone have any pics or a link to a website which shows a direct comparison of various areas of croydon before tramlink was built and after? E.g. I Have seen one pic which shows the exact same view of the approach to East Croydon in the 1980s and then another which shows how it looked...

Question to those who know about freight diagrams, in particular the lines they travel on where the route has both slow and fast lines. I usually note the following where there are 4 tracks (unless exception ofcourse): WCML - Freight travels on the slow lines (on the right hand side lines in...

I've seen on a number of threads speculating regarding the 376s on Southeastern and a good possibility they may be replaced alongside the networkers well before their intended life span. This got me thinking, why not transfer these to london overground? They are 5 cars already and a very...

As the title suggests, the reason i ask is because they are modern and upto date on the interior and also have traction package which is effectively newer than anything on the rest of the SWR fleet (701s excluded ofcourse). Thoughts?

I wanted to ask how the two systems compare. I appreciate one is light rail and the other traditional heavy rail, however, both intend to serve the same purpose i.e. be the main metro operator for the city. Do people have a preference? Do they really serve a similar purpose? I think...
