The return of the documentary going behind the scenes at the London station. It is the height of summer and staff and passengers on the Western network are feeling the heat, with Network Rail staff positioned at key points to monitor the track - which can reach temperatures up to 20C higher than the air temperature.
The station gets back to the new normal, as Covid-19 restrictions ease on travel. Route Control keep a close eye on the weather forecast, which is predicting dangerously high winds. It's not just fallen trees the team needs to be worried about - a large industrial unit has been blown right across the tracks and emergency services are on their way.
Staff at Bristol Temple Meads have their work cut out as they prepare for the station's 180th birthday celebration, while Slough station is evacuated when a suspicious package is found underneath a stairwell. At Paddington, there is a commotion on Platform 12 as staff attempt to find the source of a fire alarm before the station's automatic evacuation message is activated.
A high-speed train comes to an abrupt halt in the station as there are fears it has collided with something on the track. In Swindon's route control, staff are dealing with the knock-on effect of an incident on a level-crossing, while a major points failure jeopardises the afternoon peak-time services.
You can buy tickets at the central bus station or directly from the driver (dollars and euros are accepted, change is given in GBP, the price of the "period return" ticket from Heathrow is about GBP 30, from Gatwick - about 37 GBP). There is no need to book bus tickets online in advance (but this option is available). Make sure you buy the "return" (=roundtrip) ticket. Usually, there is a line of people to board the bus, the driver firstloads your luggage and then you join another line of those waiting to enter the bus, and finally you enter and pay. One comment -when loading your luggage, the driver usually asks where you wantto go (notwithstanding the fact that the bus clearly displays the sign "Oxford") - thereason is that the bus will be making several stops in Oxford - thecorrect one you need is the final stop, "Central Bus Station" alsoknown as Gloucester [it is pronounced GLOSTER] Green. 781b155fdc
