Fair comment. Hopefully that's an announcement that we won't hear too often, although I'm not holding my breath, especially on the Tottenham Hale - Broxbourne section!

LOL, true enough!!

No offence, but I can remember my dad talking in a similar way about Japanese cars in the 1970s. These days, the UK's largest, most modern and most productive car factories are.... Nissan, Sunderland (4,500 directly employed, 18,000 indirectly employed), Toyota, Derby (4,000 directly...

17.40 St-Ex departure from Liverpool Street (379110 + 379114) painfully slow between Tottenham Hale and Broxbourne, with two unplanned stops. PA announcement - pre-recorded - apologising for the delay due to a slower service on front of ours. It's a bit of an admission of failure if you are...

CSRE would love to "knock up" a couple of demonstrators, but it is impossible in the UK system without an operator partner, due to the way access to the network is gained. This would involve using franchise assets at the taxpayer's expense, which invariably involves a TOC getting permission from...

Any idea what the painted numbers are on the six good ones?

There are currently no spare Mk III coaches, although I suspect there may be a number of HST trailers floating around as IEP (or a "credible alternative" - ever the optimist :wink:) come on stream. That will not be for quite some time and I suspect "Traxx II" (or a "credible alternative" :wink:)...

CSRE is one of a number of companies that have expressed interest in a potential rolling stock opportunity, which at this stage is only a market testing exercise, being conducted by Merseytravel (Merseyside PTE). To the best of my knowledge, Merseyrail, as operator would not be directly...

To be fair, at that time, the Chinese weren't ready for the European market and a meticulous due diligence exercise in early 2004 highlighted that the Chinese Ministry of Railways had nominated the wrong facility (CSR Ziyang, who, whilst being an excellent diesel locomotive builder, had never...

You'd like to think so, but I guess like any bank, they have a credit committee and the numbers will need to stack up to support them taking on risk.

Especially if he approached them at the speed he did. It would be interesting to know whether, routinely, that service would crossover or whether that was an out of course event and the driver didn't expect to be changing lines.

Thanks. We've just uploaded the 2011 Pulsar data sheet, with new address and typical seating layout, HERE.

True, but actually the product from our range that is targetted at Pacer, and eventually Sprinter replacement is Pulsar. You can download a data sheet for this product HERE. For Pacer replacement, the product needs to have a low headline capital cost and a low life cycle cost, as well as...

Here I am, in the post immediately above yours. The problem with pseudonyms is that it's hard to tie people to names. My name is David Shipley and I'm the Managing Director of CSRE Limited. If you have made an enquiry about Pacesetter (we decided to change the name based on feedback - some on...

Did... part of the "we're too busy talking to customers to update the web site" thread. CSRE's new office address is 78 York Street, London, W1H 1DP. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It's no secret that until May of this year, CSRE and Grand Central shared common ownership.

I've got a Railway Clearing House map for Manchester, which was the personal copy of George Hughes, the CME of the Lancs & Yorks Railway.

We have a number of key criteria for the final assembly site: - close proximity to a deep sea port (for obvious reasons); connection to the main line railway; access to a suitably skilled workforce; sustainability i.e. not too big to be kept steadily busy with either new build, or refurb...

I must confess I did look a few times at this. However, I still think you're wrong, based on the following logic: - If 1,000,000 is one million (any argument?), then 1,380,000,000 must be one thousand three hundred and eighty million, which equals 1.38 billion. Therefore, if a trillion is...

And I can confirm that "from the horse's mouth" so to speak.
