This is not a Brexit-related post. Or one about your sexuality. Read on.. I've been reading this forum tentatively for about one and half years (hiding it when work colleagues wander over :lol:), and I recently had a thought. Considering the stigma that is so often attached to being in any way...

In case you wondered

Simple couple of questions which I'm sure someone can answer straightaway!: How long was the transition from BR era CIGs VEPs etc on SW metals, to full service with current stock i.e. Desiros? Presumably on the Weymouth route there was no overlap as Desiros replaced 442s? When was the last...

Mornin', I was just waiting for my train at Purley Oaks when a pair of 455/8s came through on the up fast at 0737. Never seen it before (there again I don't go to PUO every morning). I couldn't find it on RTT but it came through seconds after 1J82 trundled past on the down fast. It wasn't ECS...

Signalling problem apparently. Seems to be mainly affecting the up slow on the BML in the London area. Anyone know where it occurred?

Anyone else having problems getting tapatalk to load the forums? I keep getting "network error - try later" message.

Going up to Edinburgh in a week or so with the family (2 + 2 U5s) - What would be the best way of ensuring seats for my two boys? Is there a way of reserving seats for them or would I have to buy child tickets in addition?

I was at Surrey Quays on the overground a few weeks back and I noticed this unusual-looking section of track. I've never seen it before and presume it's something to do with TfL Overground signalling. Can anyone tell me if this is the case?

In the last week I have arrived at London Bridge every morning and on 3 occasions the driver has been unable to open the doors on the last 4 cars of a 12 car train in platform 12. Anyone know what the issue is?

I happened to jump on the District line at Mansion House last week and was surprised to find that the middle road had been ripped up. Anyone know when that happened?

I'm interested in modelling Broadstone station on the old S&DJR and I want to know how many carriages would fit into the platforms back in the day. In other words how long were the platforms? I've seen plenty of photographs and seen a couple of plans from Mitchell/Smith books (but unfortunately...

Wasn't sure which forum to put this in. Are there certain Southern and other suburban routes on which 1st class is permanently declassified because some of the units operating the services don't have 1st class accommodation? I'm thinking Caterham and Tattenham lines for example - some of the...

I was wondering if technical drawings or profile drawings (with measurements) of modern rolling stock are available in the public domain ? The reason I ask is for modelling. I want to model a contemporary southern England third-rail scenario and the options for rolling stock are seriously...

Looking that the Weymouth-Waterloo timetable I couldn't help but notice that whilst the off-peak Mon-Fri slow Poole-Waterloo takes 2hr44 mins, the opposite journey takes 3hr16 involving interminable waits at So'ton Central and Brockenhurst. Ok, so obviously you'd have to have good reason for...

Is there a timetable pertaining to the above somewhere? I couldn't find one on GWR website, but maybe I'm just blind.
