Sorry if there's already a thread about this. I don't normally follow franchising discussions. East Midlands prospectus published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/east-midlands-franchise-competition-prospectus

This is being discussed in other threads but I think it needs its own thread. DfT press release https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hs2-route-to-the-east-midlands-leeds-and-manchester-set-out-by-the-government

This press release has appeared in the relevant section of Network Rail's website: http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/railway-bridge-upgrade-for-headingley This refers to a supposed bridge over Kirkstall Lane, but as far as I can see the railway goes under Kirkstall Lane at its...

The thread title says it. Have all 12 ROCs now been built and started to operate at least one workstation each?

I bought a new laptop yesterday. It has a touch screen and runs Windows 8.1. It's the first time I've used anything newer than Vista. I have successfully used it to read and post on these forums. But no longer! I'm typing this on my old laptop. While browsing these forums on the new...

Draft Anglia route study published for consultation http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/News-Releases/Have-your-say-on-rail-industry-plans-for-growth-in-the-east-of-England-2190.aspx

Since the most recent thread with this title has been closed before the start of the works to which it refers, I'll start another. There's a press release on the NR site about the works, including details of an exhibition...

I'm sure this must have been asked before. If so, a pointer to a previous thread would be welcome. What's the longest regular Empty Coaching Stock movement on National Rail?
