Recent decorating work around the station has resulted in TurnStyles appearing infront of the toilets next to Platform 1.
Are they now going to charge usage?
I thought only major stations did this, and only because the toilets were run by attendants for which entry and subsequent condition...
66192 shunted the abandoned container flats to the back of Woking Up yard where a crane and several arctic lorries loaded up and took the containers away.
Were these the containers stopped at Dollands Moor for being Dangerous Cargo?
Whats this signal doing on the approach to Havant heading towards London from Portsmouth. Its certainly a new installation since the through track was removed.
From watching cab videos as well as observing sat and ariel footage, it seems that the signal for entering Havant platform 2(?)...
Has anyone seen the release of this magazine yet? Quite a good one for MI enthusiasts I should think.
Claims to have been released on the 20th July, but was not originally scheduled to do so until 31st. As such I havent been able to find it in any stores.
Would be interested to know if it...
This is a heads up for anyone interested.

Hiya,
Ive noticed in Freightmaster gen that there are now two paths booked each week for the delivery of Javelin stock from Southampton to Ashford. However, these workings are not listed 'As Required' suggesting they are used every week.
I have been out a few times 'randomly' to see if these...
Theres been alot of Southern 455 units heading to and from Guildford today. Previously its just been a few in the morning and evening rush hours.
Any changes to the Southern service patterns?
For anyone interested I am continuing well on South West Lines, with the installation of 3rd rail onto various branch lines.
Progress can be found at: http://gaugeirregularities.blogspot.com
I have also aquired various plans for more 3rd rail stock which is a great boast for adding more of...
Anyone know any good reference for Carriage and Train Washers?
Ive got a few images from Clapham, Wimbledon, Farnham, Fratton and Reading, but these are either from a passing train or a reasonable distance allowing for little 'investigation' of facilities and construction.
Im interested in...
Just seen the first 8-car 455 come down the line from Effingham Junction to Guildford. It was behind a MPV unit by maybe just one signal block.
I checked out Guildford this morning and the snow cover of the track certainly indicated that no train had come down the line from Effingham Junction...
Id be interested to know what stations around the country have the most varied passenger stock calling at them. I imagine something like this may have been done before, but doing an upto date one would be useful none-the-less.
Exclusing Charter, Freight and Maintenance trains
I'll start...
For anyone interested.
A single 4-car 458 unit has passed into Guildford and then back out again via the Effingham Junction line. Not sure what its upto but it was completely empty with no lights on suggesting it was out of service.
Anyone know anything about this?
Lots of disruption on services on the SWT mainline heading into London as something about emergency engineering on broken rails on a line into Wimbledon. I may have heard wrong though.
All services from Salisbury were terminating at Basingstoke, and I...
