There were two "Chiltern" 196s seen around Bletchley yesterday. 196007 was seen at High Level on 5F24 from MKC to Oxford whilst 196008 came off the depot into P5 before heading towards MKC with 5F90. This one needed to reverse so driver stepped to platform. Another person wearing hi-viz...

The colourful half of AT06 153568 was stood outside Canton TMD in mid-June. Not sure if it's still there?

And here is a perfect example of why so many people will have issues with far-right parties such as Reform / Restore and their voters. When asked politely to explain further the things they say, they throw their arms in the air and show that they want to be beyond scrutiny. Not unlike MAGA...

A few points : nobody votes for the PM in a General Election, I'm sure you realise that. Secondly, it's reasonable in my book to call out racists and Farage has spent his lifetime in pursuit of division and hate around foreigners in Britain. The parties of the far-right are modern-day...

Something Essex Police have denied "Apparently" :)

I see many Reform voters as arsonists - ever the victims and so unhappy with the world that they're willing to burn their villages down to prove it. Then blame others fo the mess they leave.

Definitely needed so some good news for BY 1785945969 So I'm confused (easy I know :-) ) - are we anyway closer to MK to OX opening or not? RMT have been active on X today to say they don't support DOO but does a non-guard-member of staff on the 196s (assuming that's what's proposed) get the...

I haven't trawled the thread so couldn't say what work may be or maybe isn't planned to resolve access to/from P6. What I can say is that if someone with disabled access needs joins en-route between Bedford and Bletchley then the "guard" attempts to get the unit directed to P5 should this be...

Just to add, to get to the over bridge from P5 there is a lift but from P6 not so, only stairs.

It would be interesting to see how MV are currently performing as well - I often see cancellations so opt to drive instead and with only three units for use it's a risky commute in my humble opinion ;)

I think 810018 also had issues last evening around Market Harborough?

Farage and his party are keen wherever they can, to ensure their existing supporters feel endlessly betrayed and the victim of everything that fails to make them ever-happy. Farage know only too well what he's doing. Blaming everyone else for the very things that he himself is guilty of is...

Thanks for responding @Railperf , interesting. Of the delivered units, there only seems to be a few that are working each day from what I've seen

I'm not familiar with the specific differences between the Hitachi classes but is there a reason why suggested Unreliability of the EMR 810s may have bypassed the Avanti 805/807 introductions?

Quite simply, he will do a "Trump" and claim he was stitched up by "The Establishment" he apparently wants his proud supporters to rally and rage against. Whatever happens to his detriment, will never be of his doing. He likely has his latest victim card ready to play.
