    Interesting that it has evidently been decided not to bother reliverying the 150s.

    And I hope you didn't leave your train for the day in platform 7 at Shrewsbury!

    I think if one has the right path into Salop one can pass lower quadrant, upper quadrant, conventional colour light and LED colour light signals. There is certainly plenty of variety. And I suspect that some of the lower quadrant ones will outlast the LED ones.

    Great photos, as always.

    As a follow up to the responses above, I have created a short survey which I would really appreciate you answering, especially if you work on or use the railways frequently

    Thank you for taking the time to answer this survey, all information is anonymous and only used for my planning. I can be contacted on mth18kcf@bangor.ac.uk or via private message if you want to discuss any matters in more detail.

    One of the regular complaints from passengers is the lack of information when disruption occurs. One reason for this is that when a serious incident occurs the on-train staff (ie Driver, Guard/Conductor if provided), who would normally broadcast what was happening via public address systems, are fully occupied in essential operational duties. Sometimes passengers find out what is going on from their mobile phones before anywhere else ! So how about a system that allows Control Centre staff to send messages direct to on-train Passenger Information Displays, some of which are now very sophisticated, for example on the Thameslink Class 700 trains ?

     


    Thank you very much. Information during disruption does seem to be a large issue I’ve identified so far. Certainly something to think about moving forward. Many thanks

    Hi Everyone 

    (mods please move if there is a better place for this topic)

    I’m a Product Design student who has to complete a final year project. I have a real interest in the rail industry and would love to base my final year project around this.
     

    Ideally I need a real life scenario and problem to work with therefore I was wondering if anyone could think of the largest issues in the railway sector right now which could be solved through a product, app, service, technology innovation etc. 

    At this stage I’m just looking for ideas and am still a few months away from pitching this project. But any suggestions would be much appreciated. Whilst I am an enthusiast, I am by no means an expert on the ins and outs of the real railway, so would appreciate any insights.

    Many thanks,

    Docking constructors points would in some ways be even more unfair that giving grid penalties. While a loss of points wouldn't impact Mercedes or Ferrari too much, to the smaller teams it could impact upon their survival
