Also TfWR.

There are plenty of suppliers on the books capable of making 1 off small components to drawing.

When you say router, do you mean router or do you mean modem? The replacement for the X6i (which replaced the X6) is the X7, with the following; X7 CPU: Intel Xeon 2.6/4.2GHz 8-core or Intel Xeon 2.4/4.4GHz 4-core Cellular Modems: Up to 5 x 5G modems and 22 SIMs Wi-Fi: Up to 2x dual-band...

Oh no disagreement with plain lining it, just the implication that sourcing parts difficulty being a contributing factor is complete nonsense.

Might be a hot take, but is perhaps the only reason that spares are coming from museums because they can't be bothered making them? Network Rail have rights to all the drawings for semaphore signals so surely, with all of the manufacturing capability we have today, it's not beyond the whit of...

No they don't. I don't wish to get too deep into a tit for tat on this, but I should know. 1791928334 I suspect it has more to do with cost and consistent antenna gains.

Just to dispel one small myth. Most on board WiFi of the last few years uses multiple SIM cards from multiple providers to get more diverse coverage. Also surprises me that they need "Network Rail" to gather this data on the yellow fleet, the VIU fleet uses multiple operators SIM cards and...

They're labelled, and they're in the same place. LUL also don't permit the use of 'changing colour' lights in the cab environment, nor to my knowledge is colour used within any of the train control screens.

Well it's not like Alstom (Alsthom at the time) have been putting bars on trains for quite some time.

Also one of the ATMS units then with laser geometry, video inspection and other test equipment on the underside of 23099. Same equipment that is fitted to the last two 2009TS to be built, 11001 and 11003.

The list of what IS the same is shorter. Bogies, Traction Equipment, some MITRAC modules, is about it really.

Hitachi Rail Europe's design language (and the issues it creates, particularly when using that design language in places that aren't used to it) have been brought in from the factory in Italy.

50 years of design progress, flexible bogies and air suspension compared with box bogies on double chevrons, I'd hope so!

This was in the middle of a rather large event at one of my favourite cafés that managed to get me seated immediately. They can have the extra 10%. Also did a very nice hangover breakfast at one of the biggest events I've worked outside of the UK.

Costco does sometimes. But that's not a railway station.
