Reported on the other site that 810 stopped due to AWS fault.

As someone doing this quest, all I can say is "it's a fool's folly" :lol: j/k opentraintimes advanced search is your friend, although you'll need to search for TIPLOC locations to make use of it. Lots of good info like this is in the thread linked above. I wish you good luck and lots of...

Recently subscribed to RTT+ and am very happy with it. Suggestion: when searching a particular unit, can the current diagram it's on be positioned top (maybe outlined in a different colour) and also display it's current location within that diagram as well? Without RTT+ it would take you...

"Almost immediately i perked up as we stopped well shy of Maindee West Jn, and then crossed over to the Up Hereford and along the Up Main into P4 at Newport. Not often used that!!". No kidding. I know someone who only needs that x/o to complete Newport (not me btw; i need a few). Looking...

Thanks for all for the replies. Looks like i'm paying a visit to my local station to avoid a bunch of aggravation.

Fair point. This will be enough to get me "diamond" membership status that may or may not help save me some money on hotels/rail fares over the next 20 months it will be valid. Can't see any incentives from purchasing elsewhere. 1776876088 Thought as much. The "Gold Record Card" is not the...

I'm thinking of purchasing (renewing) my Hatton-Lapworth annual gold card using trip.com; it mentions this will be issued as a "s-ticket". My question is how do I obtain the "Gold Card" using this ticket? Is it something a ticket office would do?

If P4 does come up again and is timed, it'll be under this tiploc: WDNLUL . DS-DF was in use most of this afternoon due to a signal/points failure at Raynes Park - has been a good while since I've done it. I'm interested to know which establishment serves food/drink 24 hours in Wimbledon :)

This link should work : Link to Today's Railways X post with picture of 5719 at Derby

Meadowhall P4 terminators from Barnsley direction is the only other thing I've noted. Would be interested if you find anything else as I'll be in the area on 02/06 as well.

Is there a list of current hybrid units in TOPS (that aren't formed that way on purpose, e.g. 150/0's)? I only ask as came across 165018, which has one coach from 165024 and one from 165018. The two coaches that make up 165018 currently are 58868 and 58818. I'm not sure why 165018 was chosen...

How does that work? Am I missing something obvious :s

Is there a reason two units couldn't be stabled in Wimbledon station itself overnight? There's enough pointwork either side for whatever runs in the middle of the night (1-5AM) to get around them.

you can use https://live.rail-record.co.uk/allox/ (type in the unit number) to work out the October first dates. Data only became live in mid September, so can't accurately be used for those.

Excellent news. I will be signing up shortly- may as well start on the first day i'll use it :lol: Q. Is the 5 years date a rolling date (i.e. today it would be 18-10-2020), or a fixed date somewhere in 2020?
