    Ex LNER (and Grand Central) Mark 4 sets for TfW

    yeah agreed. it will just look completely wrong if they're kept in VTEC livery, sort of surprised they'd do that though considering it looks like they're planning on keeping them long term.

    TfW Class 170's

    shame the only new one this time round was 206, bit of a shame but oh well.

    Bluebell Railway reports a loss of £220,000

    yes it does seem very strange that 2 senior members of staff quit at the same time. if you ask me it all comes down to money. the bluebell burned most of it's money building the extension to EG, doesn't help that steam engines aren't as reliable as diesels.

    TfW Class 170's

    I know that, I was just theorising if they were being held back there, if the work had already been done.

    TfW Class 170's

    that does make sense. according to national rail there was flooding today between Gloucester and lydney, lines have since reopened but there are 40 minute delays. there's also speed restrictions between Worcester (doesn't specify which station) and cheltenham spa. if they're being held back for...

    Chiltern Unit Refurbishments/Potential New Stock

    Not a bad idea but the hull trains 180s are going to EMR and the grand Central 180s are probably going to stay there for quite a long time, I'm assuming they'll eventually replace them with 80x units.

    Chiltern Unit Refurbishments/Potential New Stock

    I think 195s or a 195 equivalent is certainly a possibility. there are only so many 170s to go around! :D. the 158s are a possibility but if they went with them they'd need something else, TfW only has 24 158s while chiltern has 39 165s alone, not even including the 28 168s. also i've only...

    TfW Class 170's

    Might be barking up the wrong tree here but is it possible they're stopping at Tyseley for PRM modifications or maintenance, or possibly just as an overnight stop for some reason?

    TfW Class 170's

    did 273 move straight up to cardiff without going through tyseley or did it go through tyseley? if it did then this path here, https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K05084/2019-11-12/detailed, is for 273 and 202/204 and perhaps 203 are still in tyseley.

    TfW Class 170's

    thank god I thought I was the only one confused, apparently not. 270,272 and 207 were delivered in september. according to that tweet by richard clinnick the 2 today were 202 and 204, whereas 273 was also seen at Cardiff today. is it possible 273 may have slipped through recently or has it come...
