Surely it would make more sense for work to be carried out on quieter days, say, Tuesdays and Wednesdays? It would mean less people being inconvenienced.

Answer: There are only a fraction of travellers using the railway then. People commute to London from as far away as Bournemouth, Doncaster and Cardiff.

Question: where can find previous year model question papers for railway exams(junier engineer)? hai! i am preparing for govt examinations in civil engineering field.i need qestion papers for civil engineering subjects.

Answer: As a civil engineer who will be responsible for railways, I hope that you are not trying to cheat or find and easy way out of your exams. This could put many people's lives at risk. The exams are given so that you can prove that you really know ALL of the information required. Just do it the way that we all do and LEARN the stuff yourself. It is hard but it will make you a better engineer. Good Luck

ONLY I CAN STUDY IN OPEN UNIVERSITIES..SO I REQUEST U TO SEND ME SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE COURSES AND THE INSTITUTES (LIKE POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA OR MBA, ETC) IN OPEN UNIVERSITY SCHEME TO IMPROVE MY CARRER.

Answer: An MBA or Masters in your chosen field doesn't guarantee a move to management, but it can help. If you don't already have your PE license, that can help you stand out for promotion as well. As far as MBA schools go, the University of Phoenix is the most prevalent (Internet based) but there are many others, and you can easily search for them on the Internet. Keep in mind that any Internet degree will not carry the same accreditation as a standard university (AACSB accreditation). Keep in mind that many major universities now offer Executive MBAs (EMBA) that only require participation one to two days a week for eighteen months.

Question: Logic Puzzles (Requirement:Algorithm) Railway Engineering? Logic Puzzles Requirement:Algorithm Railway Engineering. A railway depot has an oval track and two branch lines as shown in the figure below, whis is used to train train drivers, also known as Engin-eers. The specific problem a student Engine-eer is asked to solve is how to move railway carriage A to position B and railway carraiage B to position A without taking any of the railway carriages through the tunel and returning the engine to its starting position. How can it be done? http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/benchoz/RailwayEngineering.jpg It was not mentioned it think it is How can you show the algorithm

Answer: I'm not going to go into detail as to how I would do it, but as a clarfication, and maybe even a hint, are you allowed to move the engine through the tunnel?? I might actually confuse you and myself if I tried to explain the answer in writing but I think that allowing the engine to go through the tunnel might unlock some answers of your own. Well, if it is allowed, here is my solution: Move the engine forward and then switch the tracks so that the engine can move towards carriage A. Then pull carriage A to the initial position of the engine by switching the tracks. Then move the engine to the initial position of carriage A, again switching the tracks, and this time continue through the tunnel. Then pick up carriage B and move it back to the inital position of carriage A by again switching the tracks. Then go back and pick up carriage A and move it to the initial position of carriage B. A visual might be easier to understand. I didn't however animate anything so I just used desktop icons with Jing :) http://www.screencast.com/t/snolBqOM

Question: In India what are the best options for entering the railway industry for an electrical engineer as a fresher? i want to work in this area especially in the area of Rail Automation. and improving the performance of Rail Locomotives, I also work in the area of Signalling.

Answer: Your question read with details could have two main options. To serve Railways, you can either join Indian Railways itself and seek specific posting in R & D for locomotives or overall improvement. Alternatively, you can join private partners of Railways, specifically connected with its performance and upgradation. Both the options have their own merits and limitations. How far you get opportunities to get to your desired work area and what resources stand at your disposal to carry on development work. Still, having a specific objective in your mind, you should give it a try at either options and hope for the best.

Question: Should government cuts start with trimming the number of politicians? There are 29,000 professional politicians in the UK. This is a ridiculous amount. Why should the British public stand aside and allow vital public services such as health and transport be cut in this recession (I work as a railway engineer and we have had our track renewal workload cut by 30%) while the bloated, generally venal and corrupt political class get out of jail free. I suggest a taxpayers revolution whereby everyone witholds taxes until the axe falls on unnecessary government committees, overpaid mandarins and incompetent local authorities. Anyone with me?

Answer: You make a very good point, why indeed do we need 29,000 prof politicians here in UK? An Indian pal of mine asks, how come in India they've only got 500 MPs with hundreds of millions of people, yet here in UK we've got 650 (approx) and only about 60 something million. Time for a massive cull. We should also have laws in place which make it illegal for any unelected person to serve in any government post. Mandy, pack your handbags doll, your out. Edit: during the British Raj the British ran India with a mere 3,000 civil servants, mostly Indians. Mind busting.
