Hi all Mods feel free to move as necessary I’m sure I am not the only one who uses the Passenger Services over Unusual Lines (PSUL) document on the Branch Line Society. I have noticed it’s not been updated recently. Does anyone know why, and if not, could we continue this thread of rare...

A short-sighted decision has been made to cut the Newquay to London route from the 31st May. Cornwall Council have pulled the funding for it. A decision which I hope will be reversed. Link to Skybus website

Hi all, Am looking for a mileage request - St Pancras to Bedford via the Hendon Flyover. Did it in 2021 and want to know the mileage for it please. Tried all routes but can’t find anything. Thank you!

Hi, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Does anyone know of a website which gives you the train number (not the unit number, like a head code in the UK) of a particular service? Is the A number (A229) in the attached the train number? Thank you :)

Hi all, Firstly - mods feel free to move this thread as and where it is relevant. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites which cover historical headcodes - I ideally need from the start of 2022 to 2024. I'm updating my Railmiles and journeys which were taken whilst engineering works...

Hi all, Is there a reason why the line between Glasgow and Anniesland via Maryhill isn’t electrified? To me it seems like such an obvious infill, but is this on the cards, or is there a reason it hasn’t been done. Appreciate all your responses :)

Essentially the title. Is it a feasible option for LNER to divert via this new line and use the piece of track between Bedlington and Morpeth, should their be engineering works between Newcastle and Morpeth? Map attached to illustrate. I am not sure whether the line is in disrepair, or whether...

Hi all Firstly i’ve tried looking for a thread on the topic and can’t find one, if i’ve missed it could someone link it below please, thanks :) What are the proposed changes for the ECML (hopefully) in Dec 2024, will we see Cleethorpes and/or Huddersfield added to the LNER network? Thanks

Do we have any massive timetable changes in December that we know of or just minor alterations? Thanks

mods feel free to move the thread if it’s not in the right place Been looking through RealtimeTrains to see if London Northwestern has any changes, and I noticed on a lot of services that it said “standard class only” seating. Is this a hint to the removal of First Class like Southeastern in...

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/parly-train-in-west-london-reported-to-be-replaced-by-a-bus.239293/ what would be better is if they built platforms on the adjacent line to Greenford tube, and had the GWR service run through!!

Class 395s are scheduled for a mid-life refurbishment Link: https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2022/10/southeasterns-class-395-javelin-trains-to-be-upgraded-in-27m-project.html Looks good in my opinion. Not too sure if mint green is the best choice but nonetheless a much needed refresh for these...

For example: Ormskirk-Preston and Preston-Blackpool South could probably be combined with little problems Strood-Tonbridge and Tonbridge-Redhill Would give surrey a link with north Kent, something it hasn’t had in a long time (ever?) Sudbury-Marks Tey and Ipswich-Felixstowe This one im not too...

1) Is a ticket from Kings Cross to Watton at Stone valid via Stevenage? 2) Bought some GWR advances, what does the code mean on the ticket, see attachment for context Thanks :)

I imagine the new logo will be like the bottom two. the penultimate one is my favourite. my designs

Basically thread title Could this be feasible? The only reason I suggest this is because my last TV run skipped all stations between Rugby and Stafford, so could this be possible? My idea would be Euston-Milton Keynes-Rugby-Stafford-Crewe-Runcorn-South P'Way and Lime Street Opinions...

Basically the thread title. Are 350s cleared on ECML? By doing this would free up all ECML 387s to send to Southern (cart off the 313s) Could kitting the 379s with shoes be viable for Southern to further standardise the fleet?

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/emr-class-170-updates.202522/ are 185s needed with the 171s coming over? 1614296559 or are the 185s coming over because the 171s aren't free

whats your thoughts on this, GX has been out of service since March 2020, and the paths could be used for a semi fast Southern London-Brighton, and then potentially a London- Gatwick stopper via Redhill aswell we have 6 GX 387s transferring to GN, so will this brand survive thoughts?

Hello all Will the new Hitachi units on Avanti be modified to run 125mph on the WCML or be limited to 110? Cheers
