Polesworth has their last train of the day at 06:48. Mind you, it's their first train as well. 1772925432 Posted about Polesworth at the same time as you added the exclusion

I follow Kane's Trains on Facebook and Instagram, and he's shared some videos of test runs for the new bi-mode units that will replace the XPTs. Don't know when they'll start but I hope it's not before I'm there in April.

I've mentioned it before on posts ... https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/what%E2%80%99s-the-the-weirdest-niftiest-and-cutest-train-journey-you%E2%80%99ve-ridden-on.165199/#post-3487305 and...

I remember, possibly the late 90's, XC advertised a Manchester to Leeds via Birmingham service once a day. One one occasion, because of a blockage between Stafford and Wolverhampton, it called at Tamworth low level, the Class 86 ran round at Rugby then went via Coventry to Birmingham. A Class 47...

Rugby has gone from 8 to 6. Current platforms 2 & 4 were numbered 1 & 2. 3-6 were North end bays (now filled in) Current platform 3 bay was platform 7 bay and the thunderbird siding was platform 8 bay. Loss of 5 bays, but gained the new platforms 1, 5 & 6 which were just freight lines.

I used the beluxtrains.net site mentioned above when I was in Belgium a few years ago, which I found was very helpful. I also used an Android app called HyperRail - Belgian trains, which has live departures for any station, and also gives the formation of the train, which was great as I was...

I used to love Tiger but it doesn't show my local stations anymore. An alternative I found was quite good but doesn't show any replacement buses. I've been having a play with this and, so far, it seems quite good. Thanks.

When in Belgium I've used http://www.belgianrail.be/jp/nmbs-realtime/query.exe/en?HWAI=VIEW!view=realtimeinfo which, when used with http://beluxtrains.net/indexen.php?page=searchstation shows what type of train should be working it.

I don't know if this will be of interest but there is https://rail.cc/night-train which seems to have mainly sleeper trains.

Bermuda Park, near Nuneaton. The nearby Bermuda Village is named because the local landowner, Sir Edward Newdigate, was a former governor of Bermuda.

Nottingham. Platform 5 bay used to be Platform 4 through line. The new Platform 4 is an extension outwards to use the old through freight line.

According to Wikipedia, The loco was B.R. loco 56117 now owned by Floyd. UK-based locomotive provider Europhoenix tendered for three of the DB Schenker locomotives (56 018, 56 115, 56 117) for export to Hungarian freight operator Floyd. They finally bought 56 101 (from preservation), 56 115 and...

With Platforms 6 & 7 at Nuneaton only used by CrossCountry on the (former Midland Railway) Birmingham - Leicester line , they could be Nuneaton Midland and Platforms 1 - 5 could revert to Nuneaton Trent Valley.
