    Second hint from DfT at new DMUs being procured

    If they are 'drawing up' something can they at least make sure the windows and seats line up (which I note still doesn't happen with the new HS2 trains.) and barely happened at all with Pacers. How difficult can that really be?

    ECML problems 9 June 2014

    I do agree about gov of the day...when do you guess the 20.45 from Leeds will reach KX? I know a very unfair question...you don't need to answer. Actually he's opting for going back to Leeds. makes sense!!!

    Kirkstall Forge & Apperley Bridge

    Surely there is/was a bay at Keighley, which is now a big untidy flowerbed and er a toilet. It faces Leeds and is on the North side.

    Carlisle Station Roof?

    It's interesting that Perth had no photos published in the middle of the North-bound platforms (7n+s) even though they were busy with loco changes and stock splitting and additions...even by WJV. The overall roof (same designer as Carlisle) was wide at North and South end but narrower in the...

    BR goods shed - location?

    Welcome... You don't get too many shots inside goods sheds unfortunately. Initially I thought it was Selby goods shed, the former passenger station, which does appear in photographs because it dates from the early 1830s. However yours is built of stone and Selby, in common with most of East...

    HST door-opening incident from 1990s

    I have to say that I assumed that CDL meant that it couldn't leave the station, but it had CDL fitted, the door wasn't on the catch, but was a trailing door...ie catch towards the book of the train. There is no way I'd have pulled the door shut against the slipstream, I would have definitely...

    HST door-opening incident from 1990s

    I may say the door was not on the catch. it was just blowing in and out with slip steam. That is indeed what baffled me, along with the guards reaction. Anyway, no harm done, but...?

    HST door-opening incident from 1990s

    Don't recall that, but I was on a mid evening 125 KX North which regularly used platform 1 at Peterborough. After we had departed and running at probably 60mph I walked through first to visit the buffet only to find a trailing door (platform side) open and blowing in the slipstream. I slammed...

    Help required with a list of lost uk stations

    Howdy... 42 copies of various dates available on abebooks.co.uk from 61p +post etc. Of course, don't overlook the superb work of the 'disused stations' guys. Plainly the likes of Railway Magazine (all available for public view at the NRM, though they appreciate a warning that you'd like to...

    The opening of the Stockton and Darlington

    I have a completely wrecked copy of Tomlinson's, The North Eastern railway...Its Rise and development. Published 1914 but with loads of early prints, maps and documents...from early 19thC. Nowhere is there a mention of 'railroads'. So I can only guess you are viewing some sort of American...
