A ticket machine, flailing around its newly acquired limbs, screaming. This is an image I did not expect to imagine today, but it will certainly stick! I can almost imagine them doing the ,"card or coin" bit that the man in episode 8 of Going Underground was doing

I don't understand then door colors. The livery looks like a new TOC just took over and slapped a vinyl logo on. Why not have them match the pink in the logo? Distinguish it from the Great Northern fleet

It's the Ventura ship from P&O. I remember catching their car ferry plenty of times to Normandy

Is it the cruise ship from Greenwich that all the fireworks were for?

if the driver is incapacitated, it's really a passenger safety device at that point.

I'm in London for one night more, tonight 5/5, and I'm wondering if anyone has any stations that are worth seeing after dark. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

As to whether or not more people will use it, depending on how the media now refers to Elizabeth Line construction and terms TfL staff use on opening day, you could have travellers trying to catch a Crossrail train, and being a little confused when directed to the Elizabeth Line.
On a cheeky note, I do wonder how long it will he until someone mixes up the Victoria and Elizabeth when reporting or making a commute.

Surely the doors can be programmed so the car/doors by the main entrance stay open?

I've been gone from this forum for a while, so excuse me if this is covered elsewhere.
Since Crossrail 1 has been named the "Elizabeth Line", does anyone know how Crossrail services will be marketed in 2018?
What I'm getting at is since the line has a new operational name, is Crossrail going to be a running term, or does "Crossrail" end once construction has been completed? Since the Elizabeth Line isn't considered part of the Underground, nor the Overground, however it is the only line of its kind, what will the signs outside the stations, such as ones that currently say "TFL RAIL" say?
The direction TfL takes this could give Crossrail 1 a very different feel. Connecting trains saying "Change here for the Northern and Elizabeth Lines and London Overground Services" versus "Change here for Northern Line, Crossrail, and London Overground Services"
For anyone who is confused by this, I'll lend in an example. In Florida, a privately funding rail link between Orland and Miami is being constructed by "All Aboard Florida". Recently they announced the train service would be called "Brightline". News outlets quickly has to update their terminology to say "the Miami Brightline station" as opposed to "the Miami All Aboard Florida Station"

I think we are going to learn a lot from the 24hr tube, as people will come to expect something "full service" like, and it will be interesting to see what Tfl implement to appease the crowds.
I like the idea, but I wouldn't know anything about demand.

If the mainline companies are not starting until 8 or 9 o'clock will it be worth opening the W&C before those times? Not really, the passengers and drivers are all going to be missing

I think the confusion of S7s and S8s is a heckuva lot better than the mixed platform step ups/downs onto trains.

Shaky camerawork. How sad. These stabilizers in modern editing software and reports of shaky camerawork. For shame

From my very expansive knowledge of the underground, I can say with alpha=.99 that it's the waterloo and city line arrivals at waterloo.
I do hope there is someone who understands stats out there who chuckles.

Good Morning...or afternoon,
For those of you that use Flickr, I'm looking for some new photostreams and sets to look at. If any of you post, or know someone who posts primarily London Underground and rail photos, let me know their(or your) Flickr name-things.
Thanks, -Jerome

Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it. ;D Didn't know that the trains were designed that way.

I don't expect this thread to be long. I also think that the possibility of another thread like this existing is quite large, It could be worded many ways though. Anyway...
Could someone shed light on why the cab light stays on in the rear cab of trains? I can't find or come up with an answer.

Are all LO platforms right now at a length for 4 cars maximum, or are many capable of handling 5 cars with little or no major work? I haven't had the opportunity to get back into London in a while and have yet to experience London Overground.
