    GN Class 717

    RE Hertford Loop in the peak, some trains still skip Harringay, Hornsey, Bowes Park and Grange Park along with Crews Hill and Bayford, the latter two also get skipped off peak generally getting a half hourly service. Everything calls at Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill and Enfield Chase except for...

    Bakerloo Line extension to Watford Junction.

    That was Stratford to Watford Junction I believe. Primrose Hill diversion happens now and again with NLL trains diverted to Queen's Park or Willesden Junction low level, calling additionally at South Hampstead, Kilburn High Road and Kensal Green as appropriate although on past occasions trains...

    Bakerloo Line extension to Watford Junction.

    Could be possible I suppose, this is what my proposal would be - Highbury & Islington: Realign NLL so that it takes the northern pair of tracks from Westbourne Road Junction ELL to take southern pair of tracks and continue 4 tracking as far as Camden Road. Caledonian Road & Barnsbury...

    Second hand train horns

    You can still get them and I have one on my bike, they are charged up using a bike pump (it has a Schrader type valve same as on cars). Works wonders when cycling in the West End as people just stroll out in to the road without looking and a bell has little or no effect. Horn gets them out the...

    The worst mess rooms.

    We did a few times but the union only seemed to be interested in traincrew issues not CSAs

    The worst mess rooms.

    Speaking of Waterloo - when I was gateline there we shared our messroom with revenue and management kept purposely putting the heating on in there in the summer and claiming it was faulty. Funny how it never seemed to happen in the management office or in the traincrew messrooms!

    Your first train set?

    When I was 10 I got the Hornby Industrial Freight set for my birthday then a few weeks later I got the Hornby HST set and some extra bits of track to go with it to make a twin track circuit. Still have both of them but the HST no longer works. GNER 225 train pack and a Bachmann NSE 159 followed...

    Could a Sleeper service run to Wick?

    Would there be any merit in combining this with one of the Highland Sleepers from London to enable a through service, perhaps splitting at Edinburgh?

    9Z60 09:34 St. Pancras Int'l - Westenhanger Crossovers?

    Any idea what this one is about? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/J13824/2016/10/27/advanced Some reason it's showing as a passenger service

    Thanks for the quick responses!

    2D45 02:00 London Euston - Watford Junction (DC)

    Afternoon everyone! Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I've noticed that this train runs as a London Midland service via the DC lines - what stock is actually used to run on this service? The 350/1s are dual voltage but do not have tripcocks. 2D45 02:00 London Euston - Watford Junction

    Are there general reliability issues with signalling at Waterloo?

    We have 21 and 22 open as I type this but only had one train in so far, 455 from Reading which went out empty on 21. First time I've manned these gates :D

    London Euston (OR Watford Junction) - Glasgow Central splits?

    What would be the best split for me travelling on a priv from either Euston or Watford to Glasgow Central, preferably using off-peak / super off-peak combinations where possible?

    Is Stratford unique station

    It's also the only station that has more than one deep level tube line on the surface, having both the Central and Jubilee lines serve it.

    Refusal to use ticket barriers

    The main thing I was getting at is this: I have no problem whatsoever helping people get through if their tickets do not work or they clearly need some form of assistance, for example the disabled, those who are unsure how to use the gates correctly or they have an excess ticket which usually...

    Summoned To Court - Fare Evasion - South West Trains

    The other thing that's missing here is how is the OP getting through the barriers at Farnborough?

    Refusal to use ticket barriers

    I've noticed recently that more and more passengers are requesting to be manually let through ticket barriers despite having working tickets to the point where I have even seen people buy tickets from TVMs and walk straight up to a member of staff claiming it does not work without actually...
