    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    What's the Edinburgh pilot? The loco that does the Edinburgh portion of the lowlands works the relevant ECS. The loco of the northbound Highland stables at Edinburgh Waverley all day.

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    If they used 99's on the trunk Highland trains, the 99 could work throughout from Euston to Inverness and would give a saving of 2 locomotives on what is currently used.

    There are a pair of 507s stabled on the siding at West kirkby, I didn't get the numbers

    RMT reporting that Merseyrail have suspended off peak ticket sales from Liverpool Central/Moorfields - Aintree for Grand National weekend.

    Is this really any different to Alton Towers or Disney world etc selling fast pass tickets? You can pay a lower price and spend more time in a queue, or pay slightly more to get on quicker.

    Derailment near Grange Over Sands (22/03/24)

    I wonder if they could move the 195s out at night, under a possession? 950001 (a class 150) does run down that line, but it's always early in a morning when nothing else is running.

    Derailment near Grange Over Sands (22/03/24)

    Having viewed the train, there isn't much damage to that side of it. Just a few minor scrapes

    Derailment near Grange Over Sands (22/03/24)

    The train was probably held on the embankment by the wheel running along the inside of the rail by the embankment (acting in the same way as a check rail over a viaduct.) More than by the retaining wall.

    Derailment near Grange Over Sands (22/03/24)

    The hole extends slightly under the other track. I wouldn't walk over it, never mind drive a train.

    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    I've just viewed the 1757 southport to Hunts Cross, and it's 507018, so 001 has gone AWOL somewhere. Edit, reported on the Merseyrail Faceache page it's stabled at Southport.

    Class 319 Northern departure

    SIMS don't scrap them in a few hours, what they do is drag them to one side for processing. If your laying stuff out literally side by side with no space between them you can fit a lot of stock in a small space. The cutting area is away from the rail lines. This is how they can manage to take...
