You'd be supprised what turns up at these events. It does make me lauf, there are those who moans like hell when they have these buses in service everyday, they go to a rally then get on one again!!!!:D:D Must admit, had a thoroughly good day bar the weather as already stated - my very own...

This unfortunatly had always been SWTs intention as a stop gap until all of their new units had arrived. A shortfall in desiro units (the origonal replacement) ment that there was no unit available for this line and had to provide an alternative. It was also found that upgrades were required...

Probably find its to do with the control system in use. The TMS has alot to do with how the trains handle things, some take longer than other and some have to be vertually reset before they can proceed. It could also be signal state playing a factor in the delay.

A number of stations platforms along the route were altered for desiros and electrostars due to width of gaps between trains at various points along the route between southampton and pompy. Unfortunatly the alterations made have been so seveare in several locations that there is now a risk of...

Opps, slap hands MR Controller and Driver for not spotting that one! Happend recently too, 153 had to be road hauled back to Westbury as the they aren't cleared for operation now (well bar as far Southampton anyway). There seams to have been a fair amount of work down that way with new stock...

Definatly well worth it. Lots of useful info, including historical. Did like the brixton bit too. Wonder how many have had brown trousers over that one!!!!

Looks like Network Southeast blue to me but with a border rather then the standard NSE stripe along the bottom. Looks to be the same font format as well.?

Hi Jordy, Not sure if you had checked your emails but you should have the c69 stock PIS stuff for now if its worked!!! Jason.

'Twas on the new vicie line me thought?

I've just been watchin the victoria eye view DVD, appartently lots of employees witnessed a spine chilling black object whilst building the tunnels. Apparently part of the line had been built over one of the ex plague pits, and the sightings were alledgedly connected with this. I know alot of...

Neh, Much prefer Me Mark 2 - see picie under me name! If you aint sure on it, its cheltenhams 3531 BOU 6V. Mind you, as was said ealier - buses ain't that cheap, the paint is enough! Although i must say my insurance for it is actually cheaper than a car!

There is no rail access to the W&C. Purley a self contained railway. Only way in and out is via heavy lifting gear from Waterloo Depot. All work is carried out in house on site.

442s are limited to 100 mph. They would also need complete re-wiring to work with an HST! No restricticions exisisted for push-pull working, even now. They do already have SDO but its very limited in that you can only lock out one or the other unit, not just certain doors. AFAIK, ETH should...

It's in the .eng file - you need to change the setting relating to "bell".

They have had a number of problems with it latly, including door release faults. The guard I spoke to a couple of weeks back didn''t seem to think it would return very soon. The problems that I have seen I think relate to the fact is that the "newer" drivers have not ever driven anything...

Eye curumba!!!!! Matchsticks on standby Boys and Girls, think we 're gonna need em!!!!!

Good? GOOD?????:D:D:D I think all we need now is a good 95 stock to go with it isn't it!!!!

Unlike the ones in real service:D

When 150s and infact most of the 14x/15x series were introduced the origional idea was that in order to achieve maximum speed, the desired method of acceleration was to apply full power from take off. Sensors (later WSP) would detect any lengthy amount of wheel slip and power off the...

There are, just like any other vehicle some good and some bad. It does also again depend on the driver. Local drivers can often perform better than drivers that may not do the run so often as with all route knowledge, it comes with practice and you generally know when, how and where to control...
