If a cyclist gets on the train, WHY does he/ she get off at the next stop? If cycling is supposed to be healthy for you, then why not cycle all the way. They claim to be eco warriors. ....Just a little thing my hubby noticed on the train today. Any ideas?. thanks

Why do people with huge suitcases always choose to travel on the tube during rush hour and even worse can't control them?!

Why when you ask a seemingly obvious question they are so nasty?

When you say 'Excuse me does this go to Netcong" they give you a nasty look and go down the list of stops loudly and with disdain. Netcong is 3rd to last stop so YES would have been what a nice girl should say.

I've also seen them kick someone off for asking an unanswered question too many times.

I don't know what they are getting paid, but GEEEZUS people are trying to use the train. Is that so bad?

And is this dangerous for anyone else besides the person doing it?

I just moved into this house and it has a train track right behind my fence. And while some trains will let out a little toot-toot, others wil go on and on WWAAA WWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I don't get it. It's not like they have to honk for the arms to drop at a crossing so why do they do this ? And why not do it before or after the residential area?

I haven't been in one recently, but there always used to be a sign saying "Do not flush while train is in the station", which always made me wonder...

I visited D.C. over the summer and the first morning I was waiting for the train and there was a huge line I was walking into the train when the door closed on my right leg with my body haning out of the train. People inside the train including my brother tried really hard to pry the door open but couldn't budge it so I pulled as hard as I could and ripped my leg out just before the train took off. It also took my shoe.

There are several theatres in Newcastle (the RSC perform here). Yet if you miss the train southwards (to Durham and Darlington) that's just after 10pm you get put out onto the street to await the 2am train. Surely GNER are neglecting the safety of their passengers? It is safer to go to York where there are two trains northwards after 11pm, and you don't get thrown out of the station. But why do this at Newcastle? Surely it's irresponsible?

The lights on the tube sometime flicker on and off, sometimes they even go out for a period of around 10 seconds. Any ideas why this might happen, and why the tube people haven't been able to fix it yet?

Thanks

I was recently in Leeds and the first train of two was late and i was on a fixed ticket. I asked because of my epilepsy to confirm with York it was ok they said no. Other parts of GNER had called me a liar and i felt so offended and upset. Has anybody else had a bad experience of GNER in Leeds

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get home to the west coast for christmas from this little town in the middle of rural pennsylvania.
all the airfares from here are extremely expensive, so i think i should go to new york or washington. but it will cost hundreds of dollars just to park my car at the airport for 3 weeks. so i want to take amtrak to new york or dc in order to get to the airport. but i need to drive to the amtrak station which is 40 miles away from this small town. so my question is: am i allowed to park my car at the amtrak station parking lot for 3 weeks if it's a small town amtrak station?

Steam locomotive pilot trucks are made to pivot behind the point of wheel to rail contact resistance. This causes the pilot truck to steer into the curve and helps pull the driving wheels toward the curve. This innovation reduced the large number of derailments experienced in the 1800's. Are freight car wheel truck asemblies pivoted in a similar manner to achieve a similar result?
