Menawethan (and now Scillonian IV) have done the bulk of their trials in Vietnam.

I tend to agree but I do wonder if a Hythe to Fareham service would be beneficial for mobility across Southampton. It would also increase the frequency of services on the Netley line. Another priority should be finding a sustainable way to restart the Hythe ferry. Previously this has been a...

Network Rail have this short video about the bridge replacement at Cardenden as part of the Fife Electrification project.

Grande Scandinavia arriving from Valencia seems more likely https://www.bristolport.co.uk/shipping/forward-movements/?ab=1781265425 https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:273631/mmsi:247018700/imo:9220615/vessel:GRANDE%20SCANDINAVIA

You posted (with my emphasis added) that "Im informed ICP is the UK's largest renewable and low carbon energy event, in Glasgow 13-14 May" ICP isn't the event. They are an exhibitor at a renewable and low carbon energy event. That event is called "All-Energy"

Yes similar in appearance to the Class 701 but with an evacuation door. This video gives an overview of the train and facilities. Do we know what other manufacturers bid for this order?

I found this when looking into Alstom's BEMU offering. Another Adessia Stream B BEMU. https://www.alstom.com/press-releases-news/2025/9/alstom-awarded-eu538m-contract-wellington-new-zealand-18-adessia-stream-b-battery-trains-and-35-years-maintenance

I think they are Davis equation resistance curves going by what I can find by googling. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_vehicle_resistance...

I don't think this is all the paperwork that is required as the original authorisation letter was issued on 14th December 2023 https://www.orr.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2023-12/stadler-rail-class-93-orr-authoristation-letter-2023-12-14.pdf I think there is further authorisation required from...
