From experience, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to always play on what is the last announcement for trains leaving main termini (e.g. Kings Cross, although Euston and Paddington are the same I think), about 2-3mins before departure.

Basically anywhere where mostly >70mph running exists is ideal for 170 running, preferably closer to 100mph, as somewhere around 70mph is the point (I believe) the units leave first gear. Sadly, a number of the lines they were very much designed for have been electrified now. Unfortunately, it...

National Rail website says tree down at Guiseley, blocking the direct route to Leeds and affecting OHLE Shipley-Guiseley via Baildon. Services Ilkley-Bradford are being "reinstated in a limited capacity"

Tom has handily posted a full list of feature updates here - https://blog.realtimetrains.com/2019/10/the-new-realtime-trains/. In addition to this list, it appears that the naming of some timing loads seem to have been changed - just to make you aware. Some that I have found so far are...

As per all 802/2's, they will indeed be working for TPE, as their "Nova 1" fleet, and yes, they will be working both Newcastle routes (Liverpool-Edinburgh, and Manchester Airport-Newcastle).

142066 yet again on TVL duties today (2N20 1056 Hexham-Danby)

If you head to the Advanced Search on Realtime Trains (RTT): http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced, and search accordingly for an SE station post December TT change, you should find the new schedules there.

Also worked 2N23 1454 Morpeth - Carlisle (1522 NCL-CAR)

Leeds had Northern (Tri-Fold) ones when I was last there

I presume the GWR leather one came from the same place as mine - https://www.gwrsouvenirs.co.uk: they sell all sorts of other GWR merchandise there too

Northern and ScotRail hand out own designs at their stations. I believe TPE ones exist also.

390045 "Virgin Pride" 800008 "#Trainbow" 350373 I believe is the unit. Edit: Appears that 350373 was the unit LNWR liveried in 2018.
