What evening rush hour peak? GWR has an ASLEF strike today.
1C28 struck debris on the OHLE on the Down Main, causing a dewirement, with overhead lines hanging aside the train.
For the Switch, you've got Train Life: A Railway Simulator, which looks like quite an interesting in-depth game
And for your PC, other than what has been suggested above by others, try out Sid Meier's Railroads
There's a 5Z82 Newbury to Newport IET running today, looks like 802002

What are these test runs for? Looks like stopping at various stations, including on previous and next trip of that when tracking on RTT
Thanks
The problem with the lino fitted to the recently refurbished 165s is the texture of it resembles what would be best described as sandpaper.
This is why the new lino on turbos is so hard to keep clean, as it is impossible to mop without taking hours per unit.
Rear pantograph failed to lower after Newbury where the overhead wires end, and hit Bonemill Lane Bridge. Unit had a set swap at Westbury to continue in service.
Anywhere between a couple weeks, and 5 years, to be blunt. All depends on vacancies available at the depot you're in the talent pool in, and your performance in the Driver Manager Interview.
For me it was just under 2 years. My interview was March 2021, and I started February this year.
I got the timetable, thanks, however 20048 had some trouble yesterday, and was taken off at Bridgnorth, meaning 20189 ran by itself nose first. So was wondering whether that "trouble" has been sorted or not.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
