    Tyne and Wear Metro: 4001, 4002, 4040 and 4083 Refurbishment

    Have all four of these now been done, please?

    Costing a Light Rail System

    Two comments: Douglas corporation are (allegedly) to relay the horse tramway track on a new alignment. May be useful for costings. Secondly (and I have no idea whether you are seeking to do a credible study at the behest of a local authority, or as part of a uni/school project, or just for...

    TfL Suggest Possible DLR New Routes, and Thames Road Crossings Campaign

    Interesting. I hope that at least one of these gets built (to include some form of metal rail).

    Steam on the Met(rolink)

    Weren't they being kept to run de-icing trains through the night? If so, we might see them in action quite soon?

    Uber taxis

    That's a very good point, but how does one enforce 'sufficiency' amongst one man band outfits?

    Uber taxis

    Or the opposite: private hires with ordinary cars being outlawed in favour of accessible vehicles.

    Uber taxis

    Apologies if already posted, but the Law Commission did a report on taxis and private hire vehicles last year: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/taxi-and-private-hire-services Trying to block uber using their app is totally ridiculous: TfL are just looking after the licenced black...

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    Out of interest, are all vehicles used presently, or are some parked up unservicable?

    Sheffield/Rotherham Tram-Train update

    Hmm, just spotted this: http://www.wymetro.com/news/projects/projectdetails/lcrtramtrain/ Leeds City Region is WY plus Barnsley, Selby, Harrogate and Craven. I honestly can't think of a suitable route for tram trains. Even thinking of routes that come into leeds and are genuinely at...

    Boy, 6, left behind at Edinburgh tram stop

    I'd be interested to know whether police were on there way too? Asking another female to keep an eye on the child (with cctv too) seems sensible to me (as a parent)

    Manchester Victoria

    The layouts on your main phase 2 diagram are correct I believe, and the ones in the 'or' boxes are wrong

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    It looks like Northern Rail have toughened up on the ENCTS protests. There is a separate thread as this is now definitely a railway dispute.

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    Interesting But they don't die until their 90s - and this is a major problem. So you want to look after those (who are presently in their 70s) who have really had it easy, retiring at age 55 on private pensions, but don't look after those of us who are younger and have to work until 67...

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    I understood the rule was 'any direct Northern train from South Yorks to any West Yorks station' - but am open to correction with a suitable link.

    Manchester Metrolink - Airport line

    Presumably named after the erstwhile 'pocket' on the DLR at Canning Town. RIP

    Plus Pontefract Bagill and Keighley (once a week)

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    To be clear, was £400,000 the annual cost of providing rail travel to elderly and disabled (which ceased in March) or is it the cost of providing the rail benefit to the disabled only? I am shocked that part of the justification for this was that disabled people found it hard to deal with...

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    The thing is Paul, that you're probably correct with what could be achieved, such is the scale of ENCTS

    Sheffield/Rotherham Tram-Train update

    And the text:

    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    I'm not one for semantics, but surely it was a discretionary entitlement that was withdrawn?
