Hmm, I find it rather strange that what with 11 to 12 (IIRC) having seen thier first passenger use(s), that such a modest number are being used. With the cascades out of TL won't all those fully tested for passenger use have to be used. I'm most confused

Does anyone have RTT data for the Weekend? Thanks in advance

Hmm on thing I do wonder is if in March the Southern logo and/or livery (preferably both) will go. I don't like the current Southern livery or logo at all and I think it's not modern enough. My personal opinion is it looks too much like the railways of old (nothing against railway heratage...

May depend on what tie you were there. They Had FCC delay repay forms at 14.00 but not a 20.50 when the new stock of delay repay forms came in

Hi I'm quite a purist for 150s, EMUs and DMUs of that and similar eras Where can I pick up Gen of 150 diagrams that involve the West Coast way line

When can we expect to see cl 319's in full Northern livery? As a lover of the First Group livery I'd be interested to see what the livery (and refresh/ever so slight possibility of full refurb) will look like

I'm unsure if this would be nescarry outside of commuter hours

Looks like some videos are floating around YouTube of a White FCC Class 365. It appears to have differing interior and slightly modified Front? Is this ready for the New TOC to take in September?

Hi If I remember correctly the works start in electrifying the GWML in October. Whats the first day of the works when the masts get put in.

Hello I'm aware that the Gov't and NR don't allways see eye to eye with Richard Branson/Virgin Trains. In a recent Survey VT rated no1 for customer satisfaction for TOC's yet theres all this big political ho-ha about them losing the franchise and what not. Can someone enlighten me as to...

If its energised then NR are wasting money

Hello I do wonder why some lines have OHLE/OLE when they are deemed useless. Take this approch to newcastle. The lower line is clearly a diesel line (no electrification whatsoever and they just before the station electrify a small portion of the other 2 tracks. However any electric loco/EMU...

How do they get away with allowing the fumes of the toilet pass down the whole train?? Thats jus gross

Personally I'd love to see a 317,319,313,321 or another EMU from that era such as 456, 455, 508,365,465 or what have you see preservation one day. This is the era I'm into. I don't really know the availability of electrification of a preserved railway so a 150 would probably be the best DMU...
