    SERCO test train speed limits?

    I'm sure someone mentioned it at some point, it could be that they are going to make it 125 capable - it's still very early doors at the mo.

    SERCO test train speed limits?

    Balls is it. That's for Ultrasonic workings. Track recording can go as fast as the stock/line/formation allows. UTU's are 30mph test, 75mph transit, except for 3 which is 60mph (this may have changed, work has been ongoing) Track recording trains are just limited by brake force/haulage. All...

    The worst part is that there's a good chance XCDriver could be driving it.

    Commuter dragged after hand stuck in door

    Very common in the days of slammers. Train started to leave, someone sprints up and opens a door. "Ding" and the brake would dump. The guard would always stand in the door and observe until the entire train was clear of the platform.

    It's not, those wagons are there for brake force as the 395 would be unbraked.

    Windows

    Voyagers/Meridians have great windows, assuming you dodge the pillars. Mk.3's are nice, but the sill is a bit too high for my tastes. Pendolino windows seem worse than they because the train is so claustrophobic in the first place.

    Some of the NMT HST trailers are going to be put between two barriers and loco hauled at some point on the GE - if it hasn't already, that is. The proposed date has escaped me.

    Some are five coaches long. Glasgow to Newcastle would be an XC job, and could well be 4 coaches.

    Is non containerized freight on the way out.

    I'm sure there are still a few what could be classed as mixed freight workings between Mossend and Warrington, aren't there? I'm sure I've seen 92's with mixed loads running up and down the WCML.
