No different from previous Sundays. The only services not operating are the Paddington to Hayes and Harlington shuttles, all other services are operating as normal.

Great cab ride videos. How long will it be before we can see a cab ride video of Acton to Wembley from a class 90/92? Most probably never!

Most evenings nowadays class 345s are shuttling between Hayes and Harlington loop and Terminal 5 while the Hex and TFL Rail services are operating, the TPWS/ETCS transition must be working satisfactory. How long will it be before a cl345 replaces a cl360?

For the last two Sundays, a unit has been shuttling to and fro between the Crossrail Depot Line at Ladbroke Grove and the Royal Oak portal. I guess they are testing the transition between CBTC and TPWS. On Open Train Times, berths on the adjacent lines 5 and 6 are showing SPZ (Signalling...

345024, 345033 and 345050 were in the Royal Oak turn back facility at lunch time today, when I was going into Paddington.

Replacement of Southall West junction.

And if you installed longitudinal seating you could do away with windows altogether!!

And if BAA/HAL had not funded and built the Heathrow branch, would anyone else have? Would Crossrail actually have been built, since in the 2000s it was almost cancelled and going to Heathrow was one of its positives?

When I was learning to fly at White Waltham (Maidenhead), you approached one of the runways over the railway; of course you now have the OHLE to worry about.

They should sit in the stock while they carry out their assessment, perhaps they would then carry it out quicker.

In the 1960s, I remember watching Victor bombers taking off from the site when it was Handley Page airfield.

It is not unusual for 335031/2 to be at Westbourne Park, first reported in posts #2579/80 on 7/12/18. Are these the only units currently being used in the core?

I assume you haven't been outside on the north side of the station by the canal. I also suggest if you want a taxi, the best place to go is to the rank outside the Hilton at the top of the ramp on Praed Street

With the TfL takeover of services comes the replacement of the relative comfort of the class 387s with the atrocious class 345s. Will there be a reduction in fares to go along with the reduction in service quality?

I remember in the early 1970s when picking up my sister and her friend, when they returned from their holiday in St Ives, driving down the ramp at the country end and parking in the area between platforms 8 and 9. Black cabs also picked up in this area.

I attended the HS2 information event on OOC in Ealing last week. I suggested that connectivity of the station could be much improved by extending Crossrail to a terminus at Park Royal on the line between OOC and Ruislip. This station would then become a major interchange between the Central...

There is a time limit on the free ITT tickets. They have to be used within 50 minutes of issue.

They also run to Reading on test / training runs. I watched one depart OOC for Reading on OTT yesterday.

I noticed them too. At 1315, 031 was there,half an hour later 032 was there also.

In the latest edition of Modern Railways (July 2018), it is reported that Siemens ETCS equipment is to be installed in the GWR class 387s as a first in class design and fitment project. However, this First in Class train will not be ready for service until early 2020. As the GWR 387s have to...
