City Thameslink overhead wires
Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:43:36 -0700 (PDT)

all to do with Thameslink 2000, but how long and does this mean
Farringdon will no longer the overhead to third rail changeover
station?

DLR at West India Quay
Fri, 2 Oct 2009 06:35:06 -0700 (PDT)
does anyone know why trains going from Canary Wharf to Poplar have
such a problem with stopping and opening their doors at West India
Quay?
for the last month or two it's consistently been unable to stop at the
right point, and even then, it waits a couple of minutes, shunts
forward an inch, and then finally op ...

Stratford Jubilee gateline defunct
Thu, 1 Oct 2009 15:05:20 +0100
Last week, in Stratford's Jubilee line ticket hall, I noticed the gates
were open. I thought nothing of it as I could see no CSA.
Yesterday, the gates were open and there was a CSA. The yellow tops had
been replaced with red tops saying something like "not in service". I
spoke to the CSA, who confirmed this gate ...

Clerkenwell roads
Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:11:45 +0100
