It will probably be some completely new train that has not been invented yet. It is still probably at least another decade before they think about replacing any of the Electrostar 375/377/387 units. By that time the manufacturers will be offering completely new stuff.

I imagine a taxi would be even more than USD100 for that journey. NYC to JFK airport is 12 miles (exactly double the 6 miles distance of NYC to the football stadium) and costs USD100 to USD130 total plus they expect huge tips. But the metlife stadium is outside NYC so they do not even have to...

Oh yes there is a pedestrian bridge too. I did not even realise that bridge existed before. In that case it should definitely be possible to get there by local bus and save money. There definitely must be a way from the bus stop in to the mall as the bus stop is specifically designed to serve...

Yes that seems exactly what it is. A money making exercise for New Jersey Transit to get rich quick. They know that the football world cup will be attended by thousands and thousands of foreign visitors who will not know how else to get there and just end up paying the USD100.00 each fare. They...

I am hearing that the plan is for the 18 and 50 to merge in to a new 20 route from June in two months time. Current Routes: 18 - Brighton Station - North Street - Old Steine - Saint James Street - Egremont Place - Queens Park 50 - Brighton Station - North Street - Old Steine - London Road -...

I wonder what will happen to the existing citaro bendy buses once these ie tram ones are in service. The existing citaro bendy buses were ordered brand new in 2017 so they are only nine years old. They still have a lot of life left in them. I hope they find some other use somewhere.

• The 165/168/172 at Chiltern Railways can display Quainton Road / Calvert / Brackley Central / Rugby Central / Leicester Central / Belgrave & Birstall / Rothley / Quorn & Woodhouse / Loughborough Central / Ruddington / Nottingham Arkwright Street / Nottingham Victoria / Chesterfield Central /...

Belfast is the only major place where you can find them nowadays. That is the last city left with bendy buses. The rest seem to be airport car park shuttles and a few other oddities. They are extremely rare now. Sussex Coaches in Horsham have three Scania CN94UA bendy buses: CN06 GDJ CN06 GFG...

A new very detailed tracking site for Spain has recently been launched: https://spaintrainradar.com This is a very detailed site. It even shows the unit numbers for most trains. If you click on a train then it shows you the unit number and current status and any delay. If you click on a...

It is not a CCST but these daysave tickets are on similar thicker card paper and certainly count as an odd ticket stock. Gatwick Express also had similar ones: There was also this unusual South West Trains branded CCST stock: I think it may have been used for a gateline pass...

New Jersey Transit are increasing their prices to an extortionate USD100.00 return during the football world cup to go from New York City to the Meadowlands Metlife football stadium just 6 miles away on the other side of the river! I thought that was an error when i read it. This is the biggest...

Isle Of Grain in Kent has an old manual gate level crossing. It is on a line that is only used by goods trains. It is very unique as it has had modern style lights and alarms fitted but the barriers are still old manual gates. So the crossing keeper turns on the modern style lights and alarms...

There are hundreds and hundreds of differerent CCST stocks including many which are rarely seen or no longer used. This website has a list and images of many CCST ticket stock types: http://nfm16.nationalrail.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/TheManual/default.html Click on "ticket stock and...

Metrobus also have some new pages on their website with more information (including a detailed route map) about the new 500 service: https://www.metrobus.co.uk/May https://www.metrobus.co.uk/route500 https://www.buses.co.uk/route-500 It looks like the 500 is being run as a sole Metrobus...

I found a photo of one of the 456+456+456+456 (8x2car) workings: I think this was one of the ECS workings when they were going to and from the storage yards between when SN withdrew them and when SWT received them.

The recent thread in the main part of the forum about guards getting commission for ticket sales has had me wondering whether any other countries do this? Or is this solely one of those unique British railway things? In the UK our guards get a commission for selling tickets onboard. It is...

I have always wondered whether a ten coach formation of 158+158+158+158+158 (5x2car158) has ever happened. It must have happened at some point. I can not find any photos or videos. Southern have run 171+171+171+171+171 (5x2car171) on a couple of occassions in the past: Although you will no...

There is a video on youtube that someone took of that rare working: The unit numbers 508143 + 507001 + 508111 + 507032 + 508117 + 508123 were the units.

Do those ZIFA ticket stampers still exist? I remember back in the 2000s almost every guard seemed to have one but they seemed to start dissapearing in the 2010s and i have not seen one in over ten years. Most guards these days just look at your ticket and if they do mark it then it is just a...

I hope that is not true. I can not find anything online about any such proposals. Although it would not surprise me with this government. I am sure they would love to scrap rangers and rovers and also roll out the LNER trial nationwide of scrapping return and off-peak and super off-peak and...
