Do the refurbished 159s have any power sockets added?

Stagecoach's Bow garage is not far away from Lea Interchange either

Has it ever been considered to merge the m2 and m3 together, to give another cross-Bristol route? Also has it been decided what line colour the new m4 will use?

I think Thameslink should only be taken over by TFL if the network is completely restructured north and south of London, making it more like the Elizabeth Line. Effectively, metro style services, or at least no further than Gatwick/Luton, would run through the core. Then swapping longer distance...

I agree that the best option would be for the proposed Exeter-Axminster to continue to Yeovil Pen Mill via Yeovil Junction, with scope to potentially extend some services through to Weymouth (reversing at Pen Mill). This would also provide a half-hourly service to the east of Exeter, and allow...

How many 150 diagrams remain on the Exmouth-Paignton route, since more Turbos are now being used?

The West London line is being reduced to only Watford Junction to Clapham Junction. So actually no longer parallels any other Southern services, but will run alongside LNWR between Watford and Wembley.

Completely agree with this. At one point there were plans for Transport for Wales to introduce a regular service between Bristol Temple Meads and Swansea, which could have been useful. Could also reduce the SWR Salisbury-Romsey loop service to operate between Romsey and Southampton only (via...

Are the Bristol superfast services not going to be reinstated eventually?

What would happen to the 397s if withdrawn? If some of the rolling stock is to be cascaded to another operator, perhaps it might make more sense to release the more standard 802s, then order more Mk5s? More generally, I wonder why TPE didn't choose to order a single type in the first place for...

While the Southern service is useful, the issue is it only being hourly. The ideal scenario would be to eventually build extra platforms at Willesden Junction on the semi-fast WCML, adding an extra stop to Tring/MKC services (plus a minor frequency increase on the Overground WLL). This would...

I think the best solution for timetabling the Bedwyn services would be to incorporate with the semi-fast Exeter services. Effectively, the Bedwyn services (whether terminating at Newbury, Reading or London Paddington) would be reduced to every 2 hours. Then add a few extra stops onto the Exeter...

I agree with a lot of the orginal post - I've thought about this before in relation to how rail franchises could be reorganised, to distribute them more equally, and try to keep most services within an area under the same operator (though with the exception of some longer distance services)...

Is the 1736 service from Euston to Watford still using 319s (as RTT suggests)?

Are these covered by any Gatwick 387s, or do they mostly work the Didcot services?

Are 387s still being used on services to Bristol Parkway (or Cardiff) during the Bristol area closures? If so, which diagrams are these? On RTT, the 1212 departure from Paddington is indicated as being an EMU, but this service is not shown on journey planners.

Are First West of England running the rail replacement services in the Bristol area (covering GWR closures)? If so, which vehicles are being used?

The Clapham to Croydon section currently has 2tph to Victoria stopping at all stations, at regular intervals - so the supplementary WLL service does not provide an even service here. Typically, Southern services from the Shepherds Bush area tend to empty out at Clapham Junction, so perhaps the...

I agree with some other comments that the Milton Keynes to Croydon route is an odd mix of different types of service on each section - duplicating LNR, then slow speeds on the unique section between Wembley and Shepherds Bush, including the extra stop to switch power supply, then becoming an all...

Will any through services stop at Bedminster during the diversion, perhaps as an alternative to Temple Meads?
