    AWC cast-offs!

    Is it totally mad to suggest they could do Portsmouth - Cardiff? GWR could replace the Castle HSTs with them too?

    Ranger / rover reform

    Why not have a system where passengers decide exactly where they can go with their rover? Would have to be done online, selecting lines on a map, then the price generated. Could also keep the existing ones as pre-set options.

    Why haven't they been able to run any trains at all on the Shrewsbury line even on the days that weren't part of the strike?

    Transport For Wales Livery

    London Midland Class 170 Seat Colour

    Sorry I'm not sure my post made it clear exactly what I'm asking. All of the class 170s retain London Midland seats, but there are two slightly different variations. One being quite a dark green and the other being lighter. Also the vertical lines in the pattern: one variant has green dots...

    London Midland Class 170 Seat Colour

    After several years of travelling on Class 170s of London Midland and now WMR, I today came to the realisation that the interiors are not all identical, contrary to what I had always presumed, and there are two different colours/patterns on the seats - one being a slightly darker green than the...

    TOPS Requests (including headcodes, allocations, traction, etc) [Instructions in Post 2]

    Good morning, Could anyone help with what will be doing the 1Z10 1206 Coventry-Chester West Coast Railways service today? Wondering whether it's worth braving the weather...

    TFW Stock Shortages

    I had no idea any 175s were ever booked on services to Birmingham. Presumed there was a shortage of 158s available or something of the sort.

    TFW Stock Shortages

    Saw a class 175 working between Shrewsbury and Birmingham this morning - a first for me. Usually 158s or on fairly rare occasions another type of Sprinter. What's going on?

    TOPS Requests (including headcodes, allocations, traction, etc) [Instructions in Post 2]

    Good morning, Could I have the identity of the 5M53 0622 from Worcester Middle Sidings to WOS this morning Also, if possible, could I out of curiosity have clarification as to when the unit actually arrived at the sidings as RTT doesn't appear to show anything terminating there!
