The LNER Encyclopedia

What would you like to see returned to our rail network if all the H&S didn't apply?

Me, personally;

Loco hauled trains none of this DMU/EMU/DEMU rubbish.

Corridor Stock, on long journeys.
Why: Much more private, it's your own personal space while traveling.

Ticket Gates at platform ends.
Why: Will help to stop fare dodgers.

Advertising. (I know it hasn't disappeared but it is boring )

Cheap fares.
Why: Cheap fares = more passengers = more money for the company = more money to put back into the company = fares can stay low = more passenger etc.....

Companies that own track, stock and buildings.

Well thats my little contribution.

Why do you presume that multiple unit trains are anything to do with H&S (if by that you mean Health & Safety)?

And isn't there a potential mismatch between your nostalgia (which, incidentally, I share) for "your own personal space [in a compartment] while travelling" and desire to see "more passengers"? Does every passenger get a compartment each?

By H&S I actually meant in terms of slam door stock rather than central door locking. In terms of your other point no not a compartment each but if people use the trains then either more trains or longer trains will be needed I don't mind which .

What I'd really love to see is:

Companies owning railway track and signals, etc.
Steam locomotives (go see the Wardale 5AT project!)
First-class, second-class, third-class.
The return of Pullmans.
The return of Brake Vans.
The return of TPOs.

Lastly...

THE RETURN OF LNER!!
