A belated happy 20th to the forum, on what is apparently 20 years to the day since I joined. Scary where time goes!

Looks like the inbound terminated at Selhurst and then presumably went into the depot: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/L09975/2017/09/13/advanced "A planning error" seems to come up fairly often on RTT, the actual reason for the cancellation on NRE is the usual "A shortage of train drivers".

News article about the relaunch here: http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/passenger/single-view/view/leo-express-to-relauch-locomore-service.html

There's a load of Czech chimes here http://www.hlaseni.net/znelky.html Vyšehrad (Bedřich Smetana) is used at Praha hln (occasionally, if the announcements stop for long enough!)

I've approved the requests that were waiting!

InterRail is perfectly valid on ICE too, and there's no supplements and the like, in vast contrast to certain other countries!

You don't need any reservations (unless you want one to get a seat) for DB trains - with the exception of the few "ICE Sprinter" services as far as I know. FIP coupons are only valid on DB services and I don't believe any of the private operators offer discount - although I'm not 100%

Yes indeed, just did Milton Keynes - Watford on the return leg. Needed the 60 on the same tour but doing the whole thing was a bit much to get one extra engine in!

Having had what I believe will be my last winning loco of 2016 last night (90018) I today totalled up what I've had this year (locos only): Country Number of winners Austria 63 Bosnia 7 Bulgaria 5 Croatia 2 Czech 32 Denmark 21 France 30 Germany 142 Hungary 14 Ireland 4...

The 15:55 is indeed booked loco hauled so you should be in luck. As for trams, you're right - these are now running to New Street.

Yes you're right - the rest of the 319 diagrams shown in the thread are correct but 2B00 should be 2K02. I'm not aware of them having ever worked 2B00.

Does anyone know what the plan is for the TRAXX 186 locos once these new things come in, given NS have just acquired a load of new ones?

There are diagrams for the ME/EA locos on European Rail Gen. The diagrams seem to be fairly reliable - spent a couple of days covering them earlier in the year and things pretty much stuck to plan :)

As far as I know the only change to the standard announcements is the addition of "Doors will open on the x hand side" - the rest of it is pretty much as before. The changes on the Northern line are more noticeable (although no "Doors will open on" - for now at least!)

Strange, I've used it successfully recently. Probably worth giving RST a ring, they're usually pretty helpful.
