As much as id like a Tyne without Wear ( oops I mean Tyne and Wear :wink: ) Its never going to happen thanks to the rise of the Metro in Tyneside and Wearside and also Metro is Nexuses preferred mode of transport over Rail and I think Buses. It would take a Glasgow sized commuter line system...

Hi and welcome to the forum, Can I ask are you a fan of the Film " Police Academy"? Your username is exactly the same as Tackleberry from that film. Sorry for asking, Just interested.

The Volvo B5LH ( The Vehicle your talking about ) does indeed run only on batteries till around 5 mph but 5mph upwards continues to provide electric running alongside the Engine. So arnt exactly Diesel Running, Its called a combined hybrid I believe.

Yes It did come off a S&C service you are right

The Hexham, Morpeth and Metrocentre Services are timed for 142s but atleast 1 diagram on a good day can through up a 156 but on a bad day there can be more than just 1 156. The Durham Coast line ( Middlesbourgh/ Nunthorpe ) is booked 142s for every service apart from peak services out of...

Nope runs Hourly all day supplementing the Hexham, the Carlisle/Glasgow Central Service, and Morpeth service Its also the only one of the four to stop at Dunston. All services are booked 142s however 156s can appear on occasions.

Ormskirk is a Sprinter Diagram but is literally a 153 most of the time I believe.

Yes I knew about it.

Glad theve decided to run the Northern Connect down Stillington and will open up new direct options to Middlesbourgh from Durham and Chester-Le-Street. Interesting how theve confirmed MOST will run down Stillington because Ive seen somewhere that there's a Newcastle-Middlesbourgh Via Darlington...

Just a quick question. With the extension of the Manchester Airport - York service to Newcastle at the end of 2017, Will this be 24 Hours to Newcastle? Or will it still terminate at York after the last TPE Departure to Newcastle at 2234 until the early morning? More likely to be York until the...

2016....... Football :Chelsea get relegated : Leicester qualify for the Champions League : Radamel Falcao will return to Colombia : Sunderland get relegated ( Hoping this happens :wink: ) Trains : 442s will get exported to Iran to replace 141s, Suddenly Iran is flooded with...

FreightMaster is right, Its mainly because GBRF have a big presence on Tyneside with the Gypsum from Newbiggin and the very regular coals from Tyne Dock and have a crew base somewhere round here, forgot where it is though.

You've got into a few troubles recently including this and the obese Voyager travveler ;)

It would make sense extending the Leeds services back round York and up to Newcastle maybe the timetable could be: 1x Hourly Fast Edinburgh via Selby Avoider ( Includes Inverness, Aberdeen ) 1x Hourly Semi-Fast Newcastle via Selby Avoider 1x Hourly Semi-Fast Edinburgh via Leeds ( Includes...

I've never recorded a VTEC or in the past East Coast coach being locked out so it must warrant a major problem in that coach or just could be a bad Human Spillage that closed the coach. The set would've been taken out of service at the end of the service and replaced by another set. First...
