It's on the back of this month's "Railway Magazine" - Rayners Lane to
Cockfosters & Aldwych Shuttle. £19.95 VHS or DVD...


Im sure there is a specialist demand for this type of video. But am I
the only one who thinks £19.95 is a bit steep for a video of train
track?
Surely a gap in the market for train drivers to add to their income.
Could a train driver set up a video camera in his cab and record the
journey? Along as it didn't distract him?


I think the price is a bit high too but this is a specialist market with
limited appeal. Having had a short cab ride it would be an ideal way for
a driver to make some extra money but he is probably taking a risk by
doing it as it probably breaches H&S regs etc.

Why? If the camera is just sitting their recording and as long as it
didn't distract him in anyway I don't see the problem? And if these
videos are already on sale then I don't see how their could be a
security risk. Although Im sure H&S have some stupid little rule to stop
it?

Yes I expect H&S do have some rule to stop it.

Fantastic news if true.

I already have the Northern and Jubilee DVDs (and the old VHSs). Can't wait
for them to release more DVDs.

It's not on their site yet.

Mind you, it is possibly the most poorly designed, inaccessible website
anyone has ever managed to create.

In my work, I frequently use it as a 'worst case' example when training
people.

The text doesnt fit into the images, the images overlap and text is
covered by Images.



Most of the text _is_ actually an image.

It's truly the most horrendous thing I've seen on the web - and in that
regard it's up against some stiff competition.

If I wasn't so busy in the real world, I'd offer to design and build them a
basic, attractive, and accessible website for free, because I do really like
their products, and they're not doing a good sales job at all with that
site.

I take it you mean there's an advert for it on the back, rather than
the video itself?
