    Can anyone identify the operator of this minibus? Cumbria.

    I photographed this Ford Transit in July 2008 in Ireby (Cumbria) - working the less-than-daily (may only have been once a week?) service 604 to Uldale. However, I didn't make a note of the operator at the time, and have consistently failed to identify its operator ever since. Can anyone on...

    LNW 'Automatic' Ticket Barriers

    I quote this recent press release from London Northwestern Railway's website: /www.londonnorthwesternrailway.co.uk/about-us/news-desk/station-gatelines-be-staffed-first-last-train Now - whether folks think is a good idea or not probably depends on how far down the Luddite Scale you are. It...

    Level Crossings – My idea for a radical new approach

    When you analyse recent Rail Accidents, and in particular when you study the RAIB Reports, an alarming number / percentage of incidents occur at Level Crossings – all too many of which result in accidents, trauma for staff and public alike, and, sadly, in some cases fatalities. Whilst, of...
