Even now, there are stations without ticket offices or machines open. You can still buy tickets on trains, it depends on where you board, and if any machines or offices were closed where you boarded.

and your comment is 9 years old, so i guess its 18 years now... 2004...

I suppose that's true but if you're not finding the railways an good, move to another form of transportation

You gotta be careful what you wish for. Considering that they voluntarily got onto that train, if they were denied boarding when the train was filled up I bet that would upset a couple of people just as much, if not more. As much as crowding isn't comfortable, it's a result of multiple people wanting to make a similar journey and there's very little more that can be done that isn't already being worked on.

+Bastian Mann Sadly, in today's culture, it always has to be someone else's fault. Since I moved to the US (which is admittedly a little more OTT on this) no less than six times people have suggested to me that I sue someone for something that was clearly either a total accident or my fault. In the most recent example, I tripped over my own shoelace and fell on the concourse in Penn Station. Clearly my bad, right? Two separate people told me I should have sued the city.

+mistressmacha Someone is personally suing an engineer here in Chicago. The media treats him like a criminal. The lady went around the gates and ran a red light to save a few seconds. It was a Metra commuter train going 79MPH. She claims that it wasn't her fault and that the engineer should be charged for not blowing the horn. Local residents complained about the train horn and made it illegal to blow the train horn. He was even blowing the horn once he saw her car, but she was already in the path of the speeding train. She lost and is now trying to sue again.

+bnsfwarbonnet ...I despair... I'm about to move to Chicago in four months. Tell me not everyone there is like that. PLEASE.

+mistressmacha Most people aren't very bad.

I agree that people are stupid to cross on red light or maybe yoloing it

Nobody mentions the woman being assaulted near the beginning, she was just trying to do her job, strange nobody cares about that

Meta BET the best thing I've learned as an American railfan: slap a Safetran e-bell on it, and get out. The government ain't responsible for nobody: your life is what you the individual pay. Now trains are bigger here: an ES44AH-T4 is much taller than a puny insignificant European locomotive (and it develops 4400 horsepower). Big trains, doublestack containers, and on Saturday its three because my April fools joke is "triple stack container train" but if you want to stop 195 cars doing 75 mph: no dice. Acela pushing 150? Nope. Same in Europe: you get hit by a train it's your fault. Stop protecting the fools and let natural selection work. And also BLOW THE DAMN HORN! I love me some K3H in the morning, or A200 in the afternoon. MN's continuous horn policy where hikers cross the tracks has a serious Doppler effect. Check it out.

they arnt but people CRUSADE against them becouse deaths on the rails cause huge delays which drives people crazy

It's a requirement of the contracts and so on that were introduced because of privatisation. Technically, Network Rail is a Government company, anyway. The State needs to take responsibility because otherwise they wouldn't try to fence lines, or improve crossings, or improve education campaigns. There is some good that comes from arbitrary Government acceptance of liability.

@@burdizdawurd1516Official Why do so many Americans always find the need to willy-wave about how big and powerful their trains are? It's funny that the "puny insignificant" European locomotives are now being sold in the United States and Canada.

'Accountability' extends to the railway bringing down risk to the public to as low as REASONABLY practicable. Even extremist H&S Managers and anti-anything-railway moaners would agree it's not reasonable to spend their (taxpayer) money on measures like 3m high LC barriers and continuous razor-wiring on lineside fences.

Yes. They should drive home instead. 🙄

and how are network rail going to get that funding

At many remaining staffed LCs, the keeper also controls one or more others via CCTV. Keepers' responsibility first and foremost is safe closure of the crossing; confirm that it is clear for each train in time for an unimpeded run to be signalled through. Keepers are not required to monitor crossings all the time [and often can't anyway because they have other duties]; only each time they are to close the road and confirm that crossing is clear. There might be a public perception of 'safer' but it is just that.

@@solarsatan9000 They're getting less funding in real terms

@@ChangesOneTim that said, the attitude on camera by one of the Network Rail staff at that meeting with the local residents wasn't helpful. The way he said that they were wrong in their beliefs with regards to their feelings about the Crossing Box implied that he felt that they were either nimbies or Country Bumpkins, whereas they should have been treated with the same sort of respect as anyone else

@@SiVlog1989 True; the way he said it came across somewhat arrogantly instead of acknowledging that there is a 'human-to-human' side of the argument.

It’s the same here,or you can buy online on your phones now so 100% no excuse, especially when most trains have plug sockets now too

Blonde one

ROY FR wise choice my friend, I wish you well wherever you may be

Kyano There are no 313s in this video, Merseyrail operate 507s and 508s. And how can you like pacers? They’re literally not even trains, they’re buses glued to freight wagons from the 1980s that were designed for a maximum lifespan of 10 years

Think its 100 when they go in McDonald's

Yes, it's a classic British village, only think about themselves

GWML electrification scheme was a golden opportunity to close both of Steventon's LCs. In most other 'developed' nations a sense of The Common Good prevails with major public works projects and that would have happened. Nuff sed....😒

Some CCTV upgrades have replaced gated LCs where the equipment lacked some modern 'interlocking' kit which didn't fully safeguard against keepers making mistakes. Other than that, generally it is b*l*ks to say CCTV is 'safer'. Causeway LC cabin did have all the kit and of course controlled modern lifting barriers not old gates. If road users choose to vault the barriers or drive/ weave through them once signals have been cleared for each train the potential outcome is the same with or without a keeper🙄

@@ChangesOneTim Exactly!

Yes, you would in Scandinavia. I lived in Sweden for 7 years and can confirm that on trains you can get nonsense like that occurring in the Stockholm region.

Seriously?

I'm sorry can you not speak English

@MusicalElitist1 nothing was spelt wrong

Some of the foreignese people in the documentary are hard to understand even if you're British. 😅

From Inspector Morse? Yep, it's him.

+JAN KERRI I think she meant "submit request to add Durham as a stop" on a replacement train that may have skipped Durham and run express to Newcastle. Sometimes, if an earlier train with more stops is cancelled, a later express service can be altered to include more stops per passenger request (within reason.)

understandable but on the merseyrail there are ticket machines at every station on the network, so there is no excuse. Unless of course the machines are legitimately not working.

So, if a child wanders off somehow, and dies because of this fence, then that's just a casualty of this security measure? It sounds like something the Nazis would do...

That's mot a bad idea

Install cctv cameras to a local transportation police to give high price tickets to dumpers.

Chris Glover - CCTV require installation and maintaining costs, they also need people to inspect and review the footage. In areas where it is a serious problem, it would work, but in most, it isn’t worth it.

Those who make the mess likely don’t pay much tax.

Why should I have to pay more tax because some f@ckwitt can't behave properly. Most are probably unemployed and don't pay tax anyway.

Organised??

@@johnkelly1083 any doubts

Lol. In the UK? Nah. What about Japan? They are literally shoved in by staff with pushing like sardines.

It's on the standard gauge but the track to the right is broad gauge. Victoria is connected to the remainder of Australia by standard gauge...

Daniel Eyre First of all, stop referring to the Victorian broad gauge as "Indian". It is Irish broad gauge. Secondly, the video is from the channel belonging to Rod Williams, a Melbourne train driver, and that footage was given to him by a colleague.

Daniel Eyre If you look up the channel for Rod Williams, the video was re-posted about 2 years ago under the title "Just F##### missed him" I tried to copy a link for you without success.

Yeah because Australia has First Great Western trains...

They only fine you if there are ticketing facilities at the station and you don't use them, if there aren't any facilities to buy a ticket, or the ticket office is closed you won't get fined for buying a ticket on-board.

And improving quality. Nationalising railways is a good way to go.

+Rocka Craig Our railways used to be owned by the nation, the last British owned railway, I dos believe was Network SouthEast

Well re-nationalising then.

Perhaps not. While nationalisation may work in other parts of the world, many people tend to forget how awful life was under the rail-ruling British Railways. Trains were seldom on time, if they ever turned up at all. Absolute rubbish refreshments, enormously overcrowded trains (Far more overcrowded than nowadays) and poor or useless rolling stock. Not to mention the abusive staff and BR's famed way of letting newcomers straight into the job rather than giving them sufficient training. Now, you look at our railways today. Passenger numbers have increased rapidly over the past 20 years. Now the railway is carrying more people than ever before. It's the fastest growing railway in Europe and runs more frequent trains than most competitors. Not only that but there are big plans for the future in terms of modernisation and improved performance. Nationalisation would cheapen the quality, not improve it.

***** So what you're saying is that the price would match the quality for a change.
