Just going down my usual rabbit hole of Wikipedia and other sites learning and exploring the history of a few routes, tonight’s subject being North London. I have noticed that everything seems to state NSE ceased in 1994, with Silverlink beginning in 1997. Who/what operated the “North London...

Spot on. Very rare to have a diagram that states “rear locked OOU” nowadays. Usually some sort of bio-hazard, or a fault.

It’s the same at a lot of TOCs and it’s perfectly understandable. If you have a non-walkthroughable unit and there’s a portion that will not open, you greatly increase the risk of overcarrying passengers, and also increase the risk of a door egress being pulled and a passenger(s) self...

I realise I’m replying to a thread from months ago. However I trotted along this while googling something else. I have your answer! 185s do have C-ASDO. Coach-based automatic selective door-opening. This is beacon based, if a coach passes over a beacon (at the start of the platform), the...

I know it’s a year and a bit later. I’ve just found this thread by searching for 43024. I’ve just spotted it on Haymarket still, completley stripped down, no engine, no cab.

Hi all, A very dull question today, however it’s something I’ve wondered about for quite a while now and have never sourced a full or factual answer! Across many, many stations in Scotland, including the WHL and the Central Belt, I have noticed that platforms always seem to incorporate these...

Hello all. Does anybody know the times or have the details of when the class 68s will be running for TP driver training over the next week or so? Thanks.

I've only just seen 155346 at Leeds today on the LDS - MCV service.

Not sure about normally but its a replacement bus today!

I am heading to Doncaster today from MAN and it's giving me the option of boarding a Newcastle service instead of the Cleethorpes service.

Could this possibly be an IEP running through Doncaster later on today? Unsure because of the trailing load but if anyone could help that'd be great, thanks.

Hello, I have just seen 221114 [VT] on the East Lancs line at Lostock Hall. Can anyone tell me why this was here? My freind seems to think that it is running this:http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O06334/2017/06/20/advanced as it doesn't take the 20mins from Preston to Euxton Jn. Many...

Class 142 to Thornaby

Class 321?
