    Scottish Electrification updates & discussion

    I'll let Highlander speak for him/herself, but the presence of these documents doesn't mean much. Newsletters of the Friends of the Far North line list broken promises. When the politicians say '2019', 2025, 2030, in my mind they might as well save their breath. I'll beleive it when I see it...

    Mumbai: Worlds Busiest Railways...

    I don't know, but, on one of the programmes where Robert got to drive an engine he said it was 7 years training before you got to handle a real locomotive! So I am guessing 7 years of training at the college, and then some time on shunting, freight, until 12 years and then you can drive a...

But, it was a lot of materials, at least the new method isn't constantly handing out bags that might not be used - but if they are...

    Serco for Sleeper

    I saw the change in maintenance this week at Inverness. Rather than being taken to the depot, the sleeper seems to be serviced (and stored) during the day on platform 1 at Inverness station. It is sad to think that the farily modern carriage maintenance depot will hardly be used now, not to...

    Scottish force to police railways

    There's no name change :roll:. I'll spell it out 'British' Transport Police. I am saying the SNP probably want to get rid of it because they don't like the name. I wouldn't be suprised if they were that petty. "Only a unionist could be petty about a name of an organization that will cease...

    Scottish force to police railways

    yes! This is just our nationalist SNP government wanting more power and control. And maybe the don't like the name of this force either (they are that petty). The BTP in Scotland work closely with Police Scotland, so they already have the larger pool of officers, but retain the specialist...
