A quick scan of other MPs on the ECML and branches shows.... Iain Wright - Labour MP for Hartlepool Gifts, benefits and hospitality (UK) Name of donor: Grand Central Railway Company Ltd. Address of donor : River House, 17 Museum Street, York, YO1 7DJ. Amount of donation or nature and...

MPs getting free travel is nothing new, but the fact its making the news is. While MPs have to declare such 'gifts' it is normally 'kept quiet', only those who care to look at the MPs' Register of Interests, would have noticed it. For example:- Linda Riordan - Labour MP for Halifax...

On another note can people read the information in the links as they are asking questions that are already answered in the FoI requests.

While we can all sit here and discuss what may or may not happened to the DMUs that are freed up by electrification, has anyone thought about standing up and fighting to make sure they are used to replace the Pacers? An earlier comment made reference to whether or not Scotland would release...

There is no need to order a single DMU to replace the class 142. One Northern Train Driver has had the brains to ask the right FoI questions and found over 100 DMUs 'going spare'. Heres a snippit of an email of his thats doing the rounds: 26 class 150 vehicles currently going of lease...

There is still some class 55s about on frieght but their passenger work ended years ago. Liege to Luxembourg has been electrified too, but its still loco hauled.

Hi I take it youve herd about Alex?

If it was a Saturday, then they would not be standing in for 91s+mk4s If its any help, Sandy happend on the 16th June 1998 and all the replacments happend the following day on Wednesday 17th June 1998.

I can help but think that if those 317s at Doncaster were opperating a service to London they would have Kings Cross on the blind, not Special.

Its going to be one of these: http://www.europeanrailways.fotopic.net/p47740570.html then one of those: http://www.europeanrailways.fotopic.net/p46093333.html and two of these: http://www.europeanrailways.fotopic.net/p37565908.html

See http://www.fernbahn.de/ for both. Click on Wagenreihungen DB-Fahrplan 2010 then the train number and scroll through the train formations, from them you can normaly work out whats being used ie. a 14-car ICE with one Buffet is an ICE1.

As far as the Franchise Agreements are concerned, and legally, these services are Northern between Newcastle and Carlisle and Scotrail between Carlisle and Scotland. This also applies to the 05:27 Carlisle – Dumfries and 06:17 Dumfries – Newcastle which Northern provide the Unit and Crew for its...

With TGV and Tezo it is perfectly possible for them to be sold out on the day as Reservations are Compulsory and once all the seats are sold there are no more. As for how much you will pay on the day for these services, the most expensive fare quoted on a query will most likely be the one you...

Almost correct. What happend after Sandy was the HSTs operated a 125mph service between Kings Cross and Newcastle, the obvious exceptions being those HSTs heading south from Aberdeen/Inverness. Some 91s+MkIVs operated a 80mph service between Kings Cross and the north. Northern Spirit...

Going a bit of topic but...... What training do your staff get with reguards Staff Travel as wether it be over the phone or even in person at Piccadilly it is like pulling teeth.

Shot on sight.

The days of armed guards are long gone. You will still get the Border Guards and some times the local Police showing there faces. As for getting into the other coaches, the Sleeping car attendant might put a stop to it, but nothing more than that. It looks like your coaches will get...

No idea about traction but............ Im guessing its train D344, which by the time it has reached Berlin will have cars from, not just Krakow but Lvov, Simferopol, and Kiev. When in Poland keep an eye out for these: http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/pl/electric/EU07/001-049/pkpj1057.jpg...
