Probably a 320 returning to Scotland after referb' at Doncaster.

Just to confuse the situation they are included in the Locomotive Hauled Trains Module of the Rule Book, TW3, but listed as class 253/254 in module SP (Speeds) And in the Sectional Appendix Route Clearance tables the Western Sectional Appendix has them class 253/254 in the Diesel Multiple...

These figures are taken from a Freedom of Information request whaich can be found on the DfT web site. The official capacity of a class 142 is 137 as follows: ex fNW, 114 seats and 23 standing. ex ATN, 106 seats and 31 standing. And for class 156s its 224 passengers as follows: ex fNW, 146...

The failure of Operation Princess is mostly Virgins fault. When the franchise was let in late 1996 the Government/SRA had very little say in specifying rolling stock. It doesn't take a genius to spot where it went wrong with Operation Princess, take the Birmingham-North East services as an...

The TfGM release does not mention any day at all. The timetable from May gives the answer as to what the exra hourly service is, and its a Sunday one.

The stock for this will come from the rows and rows of Units stabled at Newton Heath on a Sunday. From May there will be two trains an hour between Manchester and Rochdale on a Sunday. The current Leeds service will run express between Manchester and Rochdale and the second, new service, will...

Indeed, GBRf have bid for 24 paths a day out of Tyne Dock. While I doubt they will need all of them at the same time, or even get all the paths requested, it shows traffic is on the up.

Pushed for time, I flew from Bodo to Narvik, insted of the bus. It was one of the greates flights Ive take, we flew close enough to the mountains to see people climbing them but far enough away to miss them! Narvik airport is a bit of a shack, literally, two wooden shacks.

With a backlog of five months worth of photos and after some delay I've gotten around to updating my smugmug site: http://kingbboogaloo.smugmug.com/ Updated galleries are Germany-Electric, both French and Swiss collections and all the USA galleries. Some of my personal favourites are...

I cant comment on why the 3-Car 158 was added, but for a 5-car 158 both Micklefied and East Garforth are to long. “Grand farther rights” do apply to 158s, but we are talking about two 158s coupled together which is a different kettle of fish. It is technically possible to lock individual...

Ive done Bruxelles-Aachen none Thalys/ICE a few times. Took the Eupen IC to Verviers Central and changed there for the stopper to Aachen Hbf. Ticketing was FIP Singe (75% discount) to Aachen Sud (Gr) which is the boarder point, then Coupons beond.

Yes they will, but at best they will be a couple of months late for the December 2013 timetable change. However the Rainhill section, the bit after the 350s will have truned north, due to be complited by December 2014 will be the bit Northern will have no EMUs for. --- old post above --- ---...

I must stress that the following is just the assumption of those currently planning the services that will go electric when North Trans Pennine is electrified. Firstly it is anticipated there will be no new trains. Secondly 365s are assumed to be taking over the TPE services and either 317s...

Don't get your hopes up on 158s being used on any new routes. GMITA have only insisted that the 158s remain in Greater Manchester and as long as they remain on the Calder Valley and (those few) Victoria-Blackpool services that will have been achieved. The only change planned to the 158...

Although to be pedantic, you can. To energise a Door Panel on a Sprinter you have to turn the Door Key Switch (DKS) on. On a 158 or 159, the DKS is specific to the door panel you are using, however on a 150,153, 155 and 156* the DKS relates to the end of the train your at, so if you turn the...

I prefer the Swiss one, seartch for SBB Mobile, timetable wise its covers the same as the DB one, but I think its a better layout

There is no current legislation that would prevent Pacres from operating beyond 2019 on the national network. The idea that the DDA would prevent them from operating after 2019 is fanciful, in fact its easier to make a 142 DDA compliant than a 158. As already mentioned, the leasing companies...

Cant you get a Metro Card that covers Skipton these days?
