    Identifying trains on approach (front/rear) on EMR and South Eastern trains

    Maybe Realtime Trains website would be helpful. It does tend to have the formations the correct way around but not 100%.

    Identifying trains on approach (front/rear) on EMR and South Eastern trains

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Appreciate the complexities involved in this project, but has it been acknowledged internally that the plans are not delivering the expected results? From my point of view tables plugs and wifi are nice to have but a relible service is a must have.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Another day and another cancellation of 1W13. Starting to think it should be removed from the timetable completely as from personal experience it is 50:50 at best
