    ScotRail HST replacement tender issued - ideas thread

    Convert the buffet to bike area, keep the kitchen and offer at seat warm food options. I think this is the best option on trains with limited capacity

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    In the video on BBC a train can be seen passing over, though it looks like at reduced speed. This bridge is planned to be closed to motor traffic as part of the infinity cycle loop in Kilmarnock

    ScotRail HST replacement tender issued - ideas thread

    I know the layout of the class 222 is better than the Voyager family. But how does the capacity compare with a 5 car HST?

    Transport for Wales Class 231 / 756 Stadler FLIRTs

    Wonder if Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch was submitted? Would probably run the length of train!

    Trivia: What are the quirkiest railway stations in Britain?

    Annoyingly they forgot to stop when I planned to use it to airport! Had to bus back from Castletown

    Scotrail HSTs - 4-5 years in

    Ah that explains the noise I heard on the one I took to Aberdeen couple week and half ago. Bit like an extremely loud coffee machine. They're very pleasant to travel on, but the creaks and squeaks probably the biggest bugbear.

    Porterbrook Cl.769 'Flex' trains from 319s, initially for Northern

    Interesting. I thought they'd really struggle with the climb from Barrhead

    Glasgow Subway new stock

    That ones surprisingly clean. Last time I was on the subway about a month ago they were starting to look quite filthy, with lots of orange streaking down them. Still think an odd decision to go for such a white livery.

    Prefabs

    Kilmarnock still has few. Our council house growing up was a sort of hybrid. Tin roof. Metal strips on wall corners inside. They also had similar to this tin tops. My brother lives in one that's been refurbished
