    GBR Anglia

    I would at least mark the TfL Overground and Elizabeth Lines in their colours, even if they used their original orange. They missed a trick not just saying other GBR routes. A central GBR Anglia Lost Property Office would make more sense than having the two, as after branding is complete, Joe...

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    I have an EV but due to living in a first floor maisonette, I have no choice but to use public charging. The charging is quick enough (30 40 mins) and lasts me for most of the week. I wished EVs could charge that little bit faster though. There are too many apps to pick from when it comes to...

    DB Cargo UK being sold

    They did the same with Arriva, so not surprising. They are struggling back in their home market

    Derailment at Wickford - Friday 14th August 2026

    I have no clue about these things but doesn't ballast get tamping or packing down after it's laid?

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    A lot of employers now have switched to electric for employee leasing schemes, I happen to be one of those. I got a car last year, it is all serviced and maintained, which is great. Also EV's don't look like EV's like years ago, where before Tesla were on the scene, it was the fugly G Wiz...

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    I think this is true, sadly... plus the weight of batteries would not really make it possible. Opportunity Charging could be a good idea. I have a Zapmap card, so I will give it a go. Only thing is when I tap on the RFID pad it doesn't authorise despite plenty in my account. Thanks for the...

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    I made the switch last year, and it does take some getting used to. The biggest is the charge time, anything from 30 to 50 minutes on a fast 150kW charger. Car is a Toyota BZ4X, which doesn't have the best of range or charge times (1st gen model), apparently that's improved on the 2026 model /...

    London Buses Discussion

    Hoping that soon the SL2's new buses are on order, along with those for the SL1. Tottenham Garage are slowly rolling out their new Volvo BZL deckers, some of them have gained 26 plates now.

    AI-generated (not entirely realistic) railway images

    Governments may still have privatised it too... Greater Africa jet, 747804, named Greater Anglia touches down in Accra-on-Sea, Ghana having arrived from nearby Togo-le-Soken ;)

    Remember when you were not afraid to tell off your kid for bringing that wretched space hopper everywhere?! Dad is "very cross" as Middle Class anger boils over at Spurs-le-Broken station. Mum is flustered but not expressing her embarrassment at the scene after they took neighbour's son Leroy...

    70s was the last time my club flirted with relegation. Like the boy on the platform edge we like to take risks. Teasing a family heading to Southend but too dozy to realise they want the opposite platform in a 70's Barking scene :rolleyes:
