What test was being conducted which was interrupted while it was in transit? What would need to checked after any member of the public had been in close proximity to the unit, at any point? What checks do you think are performed on any train that the public have potentially had access to, which...

You've got a nerve...

So many words to speak so little sense, it's quite something. What are you on about man?! :lol: The thing Stadler specialise in and are famous for are their bespoke products for non-standard systems. Which Hitachi Rail product demonstrates to you that they were better suited to delivering...

It's alright, they'll soon be in the safe haven of the T&W!

The Stadler Citylink they've already got would be a better option, as the TfW ones are high floor...

It's not for the convenience of staff, it's seemingly for the convenience of the operator, not having to employ more staff...

I sincerely wish you all the best, @Techniquest.

If you're willing to accept that, then fair enough. Why haven't you applied already? The government is relying upon you accepting your lot and demanding the same from your peers. I do wonder how long prolonged inflation and cost of living rises will have to go on for before some people wake up...

It's not insulting, going forward all those people probably will live a life akin to living in poverty. It'd be shameful not to recognise the hardship people living on those wages can and increasingly will encounter. Just because there's a lot in that bracket shouldn't be a reason to make the...

I'm glad they described it though, it was hard to make out what someone had recorded on their potato! :lol: I was a little surprised that it didn't appear particular dwarfed by the adjacent SBB stock. The same video, but a slightly longer version in its native aspect ratio, has been uploaded too:

Gosh, imagine living somewhere so good people actually want to move there. Awful, I imagine.

If the extent of the system was just the length of the Leith Walk, that'd be a reasonable point.

I wonder if we could see ERTMS/ETCS (or something similar/lighter) fitted on some systems, particularly the likes of the Bury line? I feel a little like line of sight driving off street is only a Sandilands scale incident away from coming under scrutiny, regardless of the restrictions that are...

I find that there are two kinds of rough area. Ones where the local youths predominantly have 'better'/far worse things to do than messing about with the railway, but they will utilise it in the course of their activities, and those, often in my experience in former mining areas, where the local...

I can't vouch for the accuracy, but it certainly looks great to me! Just to add, your London detailed map is a thing of beauty, thank you for all your continued efforts! EDIT: Also, Toronto too is a particular favourite, great work.

Given that the rail industry facilitated people doing this on their phone when they see the 'ticket man' coming, from the comfort of their seats, onboard ticket machines are the least of the problems...

If they're refusing to pay a few quid, they're not going to entertain the idea of a penalty fare...

From the last thread... It happens. Again. :lol: I'm starting to think CAF aren't all they're cracked up to be!

Interesting. Makes sense regarding driving/Guard. I imagine that'll be influenced by the route of progression and mixed nature of the Driving role in some tram operations, I think most of the guys I know have also done a 'conductor'/TTE/RPI style role on the trams. And the inclination of...

Is there much movement of Drivers between tram operators? Such as Drivers moving from Blackpool to Manchester for the higher wage? I know there's a steady flow of staff moving from trams to the railway, though not necessarily to mainline Driver. I think most of the ex-tram drivers I know are...
