Hi, given several types of train are being scrapped now and over the next few years, would it be easier to just list the scrap drags in one dedicated thread and maybe copy the link to this thread in the other individual class threads?
Incidentally, with this only being a 4-day week south of...
Hi all
Me and my wife are staying near Diegem (at the airport) and would like to explore Brussels a bit on Monday 29 September. Do you know whether we can buy a 2-together day ticket or anything like that, please? TIA
Will there be any change to the 3-day heatwave thresholds in the UK? On the eastern side, they extend to very near Scarborough. However, on the western side, Warrington or north Derbyshire (the Greater Manchester border) is the limit, some 50 miles south.
Happy Friday

It has been announced that the operation of the RoLa (Rollende Landstraßen) will cease at the end of 2025. This is as much a climate political as a social political decision...
Hi all, does anybody have experience of the direct Paris to Berlin ICE? Does it keep well its schedule? I am probably travelling on it the 11th of June.

Apparently all 17 323s have now been transferred from WMR. Are they working many Manchester diagrams to Blackpool as 6-car? Also, are more Liverpool to Blackpool going over to 323 operation and freeing up 331s for work elsewhere?
I am looking at the ferry from Alcudia to Menorca, but I can only see extortionate prices like 90 Euro per foot passenger. Has anyone used this service?
After my Flixtrain from Berlin arrives around lunchtime, I have several hours to kill in Köln before my late flight at 23:00. Am I best off buying a 24 hour ticket if I want to do several trips? If it's nice, I may just walk everywhere until the ride to the airport and simply pay a one-way to there.
Not Flixbus but Flixtrain; when I buy a Flixtrain ticket from Berlin Hbf to Köln, there's no add on is there? I'll probably have a 24h ticket from the previous afternoon anyway.
Autotrader will give a rough estimate what my nearly 15 year old Skoda is worth privately and part ex, as one of my 5-vehicle allowance. However, I have tried a friend's 20 year old 53-reg Polo and it won't recognise hers. I have also tried my old car which would've effectively turned 20 next...

ASLEF announcing a strike this week that could take place on the 17th or before? Or do they only meet up again for talks once all the schools etc. have resumed next week? A load of us from work are travelling by train on the 17th to the 19th.
Apparently there is a small train yard just off the B5045 Shelton New Road in Stoke on Trent. An ex-FGW MK3 can be seen from this Google Street View image:

Does anybody know the purpose or history of this yard?
