Thank-you for the big picture of.....a train. Until I saw it I was confused as to what Chiltern Railways did.

Content includes a punctuality question: "Are trains ever late?"; a model-railroad post: "Welcome to Alpine Tunnel! My G scale display...depicts the west portal of the Alpine Tunnel on the C&S in the 1910’s"; and crew/staffing discussion mentioning LIRR and Amtrak, two-person operation, and the line: "New York City does not need to be the only place in the world that legally mandates two person train operation" (mentions resulting threats). Keywords: trains, scottishtrains, mta, railroad, railways, gwr, amtrak, inter7city.

The best value that UK trains offer is through delays. GWR, for example, will give you 100% of the fare back, very quickly, if you have a return ticket and one leg is more than two hours late. 🤣

Most major through stations in Europe get by with 4-6 approach tracks from each side even when fed by far more lines than that. It's not like those lines will ever add up to over 100 trains per hour.

Cool! Are the loops for the train line?

oh TO the train
"its actually crazy that simply saying “New York City does not need to be the only place in the world that legally mandates two person train operation” results in literal death threats"

LIRR trains to Atlantic Terminal and Amtrak Northeast Regional trains have more than two crewmembers. Freight trains should continue to run with two, no disagreements there.
"i'm just a big fan of trains for travel, you know? t4t as the kids say."

A recent 3d Cir decision, Schroeder, in interpreting the FELA, addressed the definition of “railroad” and distinguished between railroads and urban rapid transit systems. It extensively about how Congress defines railroad so that at least kind of helps with the “what is a railroad”

Fascinating diagrams here, comparing the relatively under built North American grand stations, particularly for the station throats

I agree, building passive provision for infill stations makes sense and will make things a lot cheaper & easier in future. But I have to keep banging the drum of building passive provision for *longer* stations too. Eventually, 4-car trains will not be enough, and we need to be able to extend them!

You’re allowed to have a beer and drive the train. They don’t tell you this but you can.

Here’s the “proper” Railcard I got from the band. Not bad for a merch item to give travel free across the U.K. rail network! Other bands should do the same!
