Just because Colin is on a beach doesn't give the rest of you a licence for time off from guessing!
No guesses = no clues.

Correct, but given this is a quote, we. Ant control how others use them! I am sorry that I do not understand this response. Perhaps I am out of touch? Mea culpa, I made a typographical error which I did not notice in my haste to write a reply. I've now edited my original post, but not your quote of it as otherwise your post would not make any sense.

Admin response
It depends on what conditions TfL have attached to the images, though if they have been released in response to an FoI request I can't imagine that they are "controlled" images so are fine to post.

One of the examples I posted above doesn't have independent handrails, so whilst it might not be permitted for new installations it must be for existing ones.

I'm sure there's somewhere on Merseyrail that this still exists. I think it's one of a bank of two rather than one in three, but it's deffo that - an escalator with stairs in rather than moving steps. Found them, one with extra handrails, one without:

Folks, I've tweaked a few posts just now; this forum does not give vandals the oxygen of publicity. It is vandalism, we shouldn't use any other word.

I've had the issue when using Oyster PAYG a while back. When approaching the time cap I have popped out to reset the timer, but the system didn't recognise this; the resolution I found was to go out, buy a drink from a shop, top up by a small amount, then re-enter.
The system usually corrected these, but if not I could ring up the helpline, explain that I had some brief business outside the station, and they would then make the correction.

I suspect the trains will be continuing out of service in the new CBTC area, it is just the passenger service that is suspended.

Maybe the worksite wasn't exactly where you were looking?
With about three sleepers per yard that means about 1⅛ could have been fully re-sleepered. If they did both tracks at once (perhaps because the drainage had damaged the sleepers on both lines) then that's only just over ½mile.

Insert the URL of the image between img tags.
To create an img tag put the letters "img" inside square brackets before the link, then "/img" after the link.
Forth party apps may host your image for you.

My local station has two analogue clocks plus a digital clock at the bottom of the departure board.
All three display different times.

No-one ever fell out of the subsurface trains when they had hand operated sliding doors that were sometimes left open when between stations. Are you sure about that? Can you prove it? I suspect people did, but the safety culture at the time was "hmm ah well."
