    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    Hate to take away from the party of a refurbished voyager, but i’m pretty sure I saw 220003 operate as a 3 car this evening, attached to another 4 car. Can anyone confirm? I’ve got a pretty “UFO sighting” quality picture of it in P2 at new street, if it will let me transfer it! Could just be an...

    New homes for ex-Caledonian Sleeper Mark 2 and 3 stock

    Went past the SVR the other day and they seem to almost have a full rake of the mk3s! Does anyone have any details of their purpose there? Just storage or?

    Would Cheltenham Spa benefit from a bay platform for trains terminating from Gloucester?

    Remember having a ride on one to London in summer '03 from Cheltenham! They were semi-regular operators on the line

    Remaining EMR HST Diagrams

    Nowhere seems to have a list of all the current EMR HST diagrams, perhaps a list here to be updated with the times would be grand? Tried searching, couldn't find one, mods, if one does exist, feel free to get rid of this one and point me in the right direction!

    GWR Intercity Express Train (IEP) initial diagrams & allocations

    Great Western Electrification Progress

    I've noticed some chords off the electrification section bit get some the poles(? Vertical bits of the Gantry) in place for electrification (e.g leaving BPW to Yate, the poles go on for some while), why is this? As BPW-Yate is getting no electrification, why the need (among other places)?
