Hi - just want to ask how often double deckers appear on the 8, 90, 3 and 46 bus routes, and, if so, whether they show up on particular journeys. Thanks :)

Cheers.

Does anyone know which diagrams class 143s are on today in South Wales? 1621927528 Realise this was probably an unhelpful way of asking, apologies. To narrow it down, which units are on: 2E07 2R08 2M08 2A08 Thanks in advance

Have seen it mentioned on here that the 143s could continue into 2021 - does anyone have a rough indication of how long they'll last? Will it be a matter of weeks or months? Thanks in advance

Haven't been keeping up with anything for months Just wondering: is it only ex-LNER HST sets running on the MML now? If there are any ex-EMT (so not from LNER) sets still regularly working, are they on any specific diagrams? Thanks in advance

142035 and a Sprinter on 1649 Manchester Pic to Sheffield

Any hope of a Pacer starting afresh for the evening peak at Manchester Piccadilly?

Any diagrams for today?

Granted, an error on my behalf. But surely it's a bit misleading for GWR to say "we are introducing 8-car electric train services" when a fair few are of less capacity or even not electric at all! I understand they only have restricted resources, but it just came as a bit of a surprise.

The suburban lines from Paddington have been awful this week. For the past two mornings the 0953 EAL-PAD has been four coaches only, which meant the trains have been really busy. However, worst of all, on Tuesday the 1759 PAD-RDG was a three car Turbo! With five less carriages and a more...

As someone who only recently got into trains, it's quite interesting how people react to you spotting trains essentially on how you do it. I take my photos with a phone - as I don't have the traditional "big boy cameras" people and staff do often go up to me, especially at train stations...

I realise that none of these ideas are really feasible as track space in London is full to bursting, but here are some cross-city links I would like to see: Watford Junction-Bushey-Harrow & Wealdstone-Wembley Central-Shepherd's Bush-Kensington Olympia-West Brompton-Imperial Wharf-Wandsworth...

Thank you all, I'll probably just do what you guys said and get an Anglia Plus because that still enables me to ride the 37s which are my top priority at the moment. Thanks for the Felixstowe recommendation, I'll do that too.

Hi all, as a "beginner" train enthusiast I'm really struggling to find a way of making my proposed day out on the Greater Anglia network sustainable - this is the first trip I've ever tried to coordinate by rail and it seems that flexibility isn't of the essence on the surface. My plan is...

The main problem with the Greenford line since its cutback is the fact the connection from London is so poor. Due to the nature of the GWML, trains are very often delayed on the suburban lines and arrive at West Ealing a couple of minutes late. Due to the number of freight trains using the...
