Extracted from (£): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/10/14/nationalisation-proponent-john-mcdonnell-backs-private-rail/ The shadow chancellor, an ardent campaigner to nationalise the railways, has been branded a “hypocrite� after publicly backing an ambitious £1.6bn privatisation of train tracks and infrastructure. John McDonnell said a groundbreaking proposal to privately fund...

I was at Kentish Town today. I was searching out filming locations for the Victor Spinetti radio series “Tony’s� but some ****ing know-it-all told me that radio series don’t have locations. On the way back I saw that there was a train, Kentish Town to Gravesend, 16:26 from that ghastly platform 3, from which no train departs. It was going through Greenwich and Deptford and Woolwich....

Are there any regular Jubilee Line Extension users here? What's all this bloody queuing on the platform by the PEDs? When did that start? I have heard of fight at London Bridge for queue-jumpers on the platform. The PED double doors have two neat straight lines of people, at a slight angle, from PED to platform wall. I used London Bridge last week. I had to queue to reach the ticket barrier,...

What on earth is this latest strike about? For once, the whole line is suspended, and a total of four days travel will be disrupted. It's supposedly not about pay, or the usual claims of victimisation of union activists. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/piccadilly-line-strike-passengers-battle-panic-attacks-and-endure-dangerous-overcrowding-in-rush-a3947231.html

Apparently they haven't got a train to test the signalling with! Hence the delay: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45496269 -- Graeme Wall This account not read.

The door to a middle cab compartment was open in our 313 this morning on GN. I'd never really notice quite how large the area is. It must be 8 or 9 feet deep with the actual driving position a little cupboard with a door. The rest of the space was empty. I realise the 313s were built a long time ago back when passenger numbers were probably much lower, but what was the thinking behind having so...

In 2014 Tramlink was closed from 25th October between Mitcham Junction and Ampere Way for track doubling. In 2016, it was closed from 6th August between East Croydon and Sandilands. Does anyone have the dates that either of these services restarted? The actual ones, I mean, not the planned dates. In 2015 it was closed on 13th July between Dundonald Road and Wimbledon

As always, lots of interesting insights, and a few surprises: https://www.londonreconnections.com/2018/crossrail-a-hole-new-world/

can anybody get the map of Ticket stops to work? I have tried three different browsers and none of them are showing the overlays. and it isn't because there are no Ticket Stops in the vicinity, because the Underground station overlay isn't there either tim

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06g3b9p Vicki is the 'Tuesday Guest' in the 3rd hour - long interview plus 6 records of her choice. She's from Norfolk originally. Good interview with most of the railway content later in the hour. Geoff and Vicki have a book out for Christmas about All the Stations and are planning an Irish tour in the future.

I use the Northern Line almost every day, almost always starting and eventually finishing at Tooting or Collier's Wood. During the day I could be working at either Bank or Charing X branches. Getting to and from these places has been much easier recently, with the closure of Kennington on the Bank branch and trains running to and from Morden via both Bank and Charing X. No more of that tiresome...

ATO (Automated Train Operation) on Thameslink Three buttons sit on the driver's panel of Thameslink's Class 700 trains. After a brief stop in a new tunnel between Kings Cross and St Pancras, the driver of the 09:46 from Peterborough to Horsham presses the middle yellow button and the train starts to drive itself. The journey was the first on the UK's mainline rail network to use an ...

Last night I was waiting for a GN train northbound at H&I. Train turned up but the information board was telling me about problems on gatwick express, as if anyone going north on GN will be heading for gatwick! Then it went on to mention problems on the tube. Fantastic. I didn't know if the Stevenage train in front of me would be stopping at my station (it normally doesn't), but by the time the...
