    Northern Connect to Nottingham

    The reference for said quote on the Wikipedia page for Alfreton Station is a link to a map showing the proposed Northern Connect routes (https://be803fe5c416e39d38ae-aa21086260d3bd4e072d597fe09c2e80.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/images/maps/2016-07/NorthernConnectMap_July16.pdf). Said map shows some...

    Top Gear train crash

    Quoting directly from the Wikipedia article on the Class 31, under the "Media" section. Two Class 31 locomotives and a parked Renault Espace were used during the crash. Network Rail's 31233 was used to propel 31107 up to a speed of 80 mph (130 km/h). The rear locomotive slowed down to a stop...

    Chiltern Bubble Car Timetable?

    Good luck - I went up to Aylesbury on Wednesday for the 1730 for Princes Risborough and it was a 2-car 165... 121020 was parked next to the depot at Aylesbury - not sure where 121034 was, possibly still at Tyseley after the unit drag from Aylesbury earlier in the week...?

    Halifax to Guiseley

    It's about a 10 minute walk. The quickest i've done it is about 6 minutes (with some serious leg ache afterwards). This is the route I use -...

    West Yorkshire routes

    At the moment - no is the answer. Closest is either York to Newcastle, Settle to Carlisle or there's a fictional route called Laneshaw Bridge, which is a modern interpretation of a line linking the Skipton-Leeds line and the Colne-Burnley line. This is available here -...

    Guide Bridge Parkway?

    From Alliance Rail's FAQ page... Why are some stations listed as Parkways on the network map? A keystone of Alliance’s application will be the development of parkway stations, where the company is set to make significant investment. The application lists stations at Thorne South (close to the...

    Transpennine Express 170s west of Manchester?

    York certainly did happen - https://www.flickr.com/photos/yorkshirerailphotos/8040761119/in/set-72157631661294635 I seem to recall it worked something like a 1405 Manchester Airport to York, not sure of the return working.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned - http://www.systemed.net/atlas/ It's been around for a while, but unfortunately there's been no update in the last few years. Shame really.

    Another Section of ECML for TS2014?

    I imagine (hope) that the Hertford Loop will be included in a Class 313 pack at some point, much like the Sheerness/466 Pack. 3-car Class 317 will suffice for the moment. It's probably a good thing that it wasn't originally included, as I always prefer driving on the diversionary / minor routes...
