Leisure mostly. As a visitor, using the trains here are very convenient. Compared to one a day in the US (long distance) having one every 15-30min is a good change. The Tube is a great example. It's nice to know you have options when getting a train from Cambridge to Kings Cross, whether you...

I've been told all horns in the UK are 2 tone. However while I was out yesterday at Needham Market, AGA 82102 speed through, and when it whistled for the two crossings north of the station, I heard what was very similar to an American style K5LA. I'm not sure if it was maybe fouled or if it was...

I do remember that when I visited. Its the simple things like that, which make a train trip just that much better. Obviously infrastructure here is not suitable for double decker coaches, but it would definitely help.

Amtrak has no competition for long haul services, yet when they depart a terminus their stock is clean (Locomotives on the other hand...not so much. The P42DC's are garbage all around). Presentation is everything, a clean train at the very least to the customer makes it appear as if a company...

Especially the US carriers. I mean who knows, Genesee and Wyoming might get in the mix. Oh god...

Too bad they didn't take that photo a little later (earlier?) with "Clan Line" on the bridge. :V

When I first saw the photos, i thought, yep, automatic gates within a few weeks or months. Glad to know some spare wooden gates are still around!

Perhaps I should've worded it better in my first post, but this was what I was looking for. Thank you.

I have Run 8 and its a very good indie Sim. If youre into multiplayer, this sim leads the way with its diversity and realism in co-op communications and operations. Unfortunately the developers have gone down the road that Dovetail are doing and adding expensive DLC. Also unlike even Railsim...

I'm told at one point years ago a steam train was used to stand in for one of the services to London as an express service. Obviously this was because of a special event. However would a TOC ever allow steam to be substituted in from one of their trains especially in this day and age? What...

Many, many months ago, I was traveling towards london on one of the tube lines (not going to mention which one, because I'm sure as hell dont want to cause any potential problems). We were traveling roughly 45mph and woosh a station wizzed by. And then all of a sudden on the intercom the driver...

Wouldn't RYTC do compensation of some kind to the passengers who booked this trip? For example at the very least refund some of the cost of the ticket back to the customer. Honestly after 2 cancelations I would want my money back. I can understand if they triple headed this and the passengers...

If this has been asked before, i apologise, and would like to see the thread. So I've slowly grasped the terminology of Up and Down lines and it had me wondering, for Thameslink (or any other lines in London), lines towards the capital is Up at both directions. At what point in the Thameslink...

Over on the other side of the Atlantic, there are countless places to drive side by side with trains for photos or just for fun. So far I'm having trouble finding a stretch where road speed and line speed match along with an absence (or close enough) of vegetation. What are some places around...

I can't say much as I only ventured around Anglia, ECML, and some of Thameslink. Besides the prohibitively high cost of tickets puts me off traveling more but that's another story. With that being said, the most depressing and dissapointing station I've ever visited in Anglia is Yarmouth...

...But first allow me to explain myself. As noted this is my first post and I'm merely a short term visitor to your great country, so go easy please :) I moved here from the US to work side by side at one of your RAF's finest bases. In the year I've been here, i've gone around and took in the...
