    Class 442’s for ATW?

    I also hear 442's could be part of the next SWT franchise. This is getting confusing. Are they going to spread out across the network.

    Alcohol & Drugs test before employment

    Sorry to go a bit off topic. I was led to believe railway employees aren't allowed to consume alcohol 48 hours before starting work. Is this correct. Thanks

    last train has run to fawley refinery

    Talking about Brockenhurst. Is the luggage swing bridge still at Brockenhurst. From memory Eastleigh and Brockenhurst both had them. I did here some years ago. Brockenhurst was the last station to retain a luggage swing bridge on the former southern network. Cheers

    last train has run to fawley refinery

    Eastleigh station was two island platforms before the station was rebuilt. The station forecourt/booking office was built on the former platform 1.

    Embarrassing problem regarding the toilets

    I haven't seen this asked yet. What happens if someone is using the toilet and there's a power cut to the 3rd rail or to the overhead wires. Can you get out by pressing the open/unlock button or do you have to wait for the power to come back on. Thanks

    i dropped in to the Mid Hants Railway station shop a few weeks ago and they had a good selection of 00 gauge and N gauge locos and wagon/coaches. I also notice they are also selling 0 gauge wagons.

    I once got on a vep unit at Winchester heading to Southampton and when entering Eastleigh station the guard put over the PA change here for Pompey. Make you wonder if anyone missed their connection for Portsmouth. I'm sure there must be some poeple out there that don't know Pompey is the...

    Unrebuilding a Merchant Navy

    More to the point. I wonder how long the overhaul will take. Don't forget this loco isn't even on a perserved railway yet.
