Orbital Never http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktgznOFpXeY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Orbital are fantastic! Off to see them next week. :-)

I've driven both 315 and 317. 315 are better off the mark to around 30-40mph and having DMS (motors in leading vehicles) is handy in poor adhesion. 317s are a complete nightmare in the wet getting traction but i last drove them 8 years ago and maybe Sanders have improved things. Once I managed...

Work is starting at Ely Dock to the River bridge

Let's be honest here. Birmingham - Stansted is 3hrs 17. Cambridge is about to get a station at Chesterton and i get the impression this will add to journey time unless dwell times are improved especially at Peterborough when the extra platforms are built. Ideally some off peak services could...

Every unit a 3 Car is all that's needed. Voyager would be overkill.Of course to drive one than a 170 would be great on this route but its not practical. I work this route and we have a brief 95mph line speed Washwood Heath to Water Orton and it's a mix of 70-90 to Stansted. Only improvements i...

I hope this is planned right and the platforms are off the main line so we can bypass this station on XC..

Its now x5 170s on nights. Im often doing that shift.Hope they have thicker ear muffs when we test the horns..

Oh well. I was only asking if it was true. Ended being x2 153. In Anglia Traincrew called them Scuds in the early 90s but Dogbox has seemed to have stuck nowadays

Is it true the 0831 Cheltenham - Paddington was a Dogbox?

I remember the Grainflow wagons in Anglia. Lots of Drivers tell me they had interesting trips on those. How many grain terminals were there?

Judging by passenger numbers from Peterborough to Cambridge and Stansted perhaps XC heading down the ECML to York using Voyagers as the Stansted bay can now take a 4 car. Another one would be Lincoln to either Norwich or Stansted. XC or EMT perhaps.. Obviously pathing issues and traction...

Uuurrggghhh... More delays on the late turns on the way then..

If some punter rabbits on again about 'I pay your wages' I can only reply 'Good.. That's why the fares are going up by 6%! :-D Sorry but it's true. It is that old chestnut!

Amazing Video,Amazing song and err amazing band Doves. There Goes The Fear. Classic traction in this. Euston to Rio De Janeiro :-/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A332V4XZa5I&feature=youtube_gdata_player

TU-95 Bear?

£32bn better spent on Hyperdrives and the Flux Capacitor. Hell we could be on Speederbikes before this gets built...

Having driven a poxy two car 158 from Norwich to Birmingham in a tad under 4 hours... My thoughts were with all those lucky gits in nice cabs on there small 2 hour journey... Yeah locos will always be better from a Drivers view if Driver has knowledge of Mus and Locos. At least the fitter could...

Has anybody taken into account that all these proposed paths have been taken by the Freight...
