Hey guys, I don't think this has been a thread as of yet (if there is, I apologise sincerely about this and you can feel free to lock this admins!) but we've seen a few mutterings here and there about the safeguarded route for the Elizabeth line extension beyond Abbey Wood into Ebbsfleet...

Sorry for another ThamesLink related thread - this TOC really is clogging up the forum as of late! A repeating theme is that a lot of people are not happy with the routes chosen for ThamesLink services since the new timetable change. What would you choose as the routes, given 24tph as the limit...

Hey guys, Hope everyone is making good use of today's weather. As we're entering the summer, it's time for me to start planning my annual rail trips to the country. I've never done a Pacer before and I would really like to do one in the limited days they have left. I know Northern have some but...

Hey, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere - I cannot see or find anything. Greater Anglia Twitter desk this evening is reporting that a 317 unit had a fire (I imagine small) at Tottenham Hale. Anyone know the cause of the fire, and the extent of it and the unit involved?

Today for most of the day, the Jubilee line has been subject to a full suspension as a result of a 'power failure' affecting the signal control room. I believe I know the answer but would there be any back up signalling centres in the event of this happening, albeit the service running at a...

The Victoria line has had an oddly poor 72 or so hours this week due to 'signalling system faults' repeated with the entire line suspended at one point last night. What is going on?

Now the MLX seems to be quietly dropped due to a lack of funding. A lot of locals have obviously expressed disappointment. I was thinking of an idea that could replace this. Extending the London Underground up there was never going to work due to the sheer cost of 4th rail, ATO signalling, the...

Seems to be a bad morning on the West Coastway line. In addition to the engineering works between Woolston and Southampton Central, a tree has fallen on the line and struck a train at Swanwick. Hopefully it's not too serious, and nobody was injured by this. In addition, a Southern train...

I haven't seen this elsewhere on this forum, but I've noticed that South West Trains in particular is very popular in filming and in the media - any reason why? In the last few weeks, it was featured in a Channel 4 drama 'Electric Dreams: The Commuter' which follows the story of a ticket office...

That time has come now where the 345s as of today are taking up 'full-day duties' in addition to the special trips they currently do. Unfortunately this means the timer has begun on our good friends the 315s - please note any withdrawals here of the 315s (this will include LO when the 710s kick...

Today at Southbury, I was waiting for the 1818 London Overground service towards London Liverpool St then suddenly two Greater Anglia units turn up? One was ex GN unit 317343 and the other one 317883 I think - any more info on this? Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere

As a Londoner I don't have request stops anywhere near me to my knowledge - nor have I visited one but I do express full interest in visiting one soon . I was interested in knowing what is the nearest request stop to London? There seems to be quite a lot on the Shakespeare line in...

I wasn't too sure on what's going on - as far as I know this working is incredibly rare and isn't scheduled, 1 of 3 of the trains on Greater Anglia's Liverpool Street - Braintree diagram is formed of two 317 units, 317654+317659 I think (for whatever reason it's 8 cars on a Saturday). To my...
