Rail

Some one said to me once that if you throw a pebble at a high speed train you could stop it if you threw it hard enough and in the right place - is this as stupid as it sounds!?

I am giving a speech at 6:30 and the train is scheduled to arrive at 5:05. Is this typically a safe bet? With airplanes I wouldn't even think of it but trains I'm wondering about.

Can I use my oyster card (that has a week travel card) to go from London liverpool street to Cambridge, and vice versa??? Or do I have to purchase a seperate ticket for the rail?? I'm scared that if I try it, someone will ask me for a ticket while I'm on the rail, and if I give them my oyster and they say they don't take it, I'm fined £500.

By this I mean working regular timetabled passenger and goods trains, as opposed to steam specials for railway enthusiasts, or on private industrial railways, or on preserved "tourist" railways.

that voice say am sorry to announce that the blah blah train to so and so station has been delayed or even worse cancelled. I hate that voice, it so annoying especially when you are going to meet someone or a job interview and you need to get there at a specfic time. I just feel like smashing the speaker with a hammer when i hear that man's voice. He never has good news, there should be somewhere to complain to about trains. Th e point i am making is that when i take the bus i no that i am taking a risk but with a train you at least expect better service considering that its so ******* expensive. excuse my language
