Regarding filling in the travel diary, some countries are more keen on it being filled in than others (Slovenia and Croatia spring to mind) but more conductors generally seem to be expecting it to be filled in than a few years ago; perhaps there has been a move towards making on-train staff more...

It was previously MÁV (Hungarian Railways) no. 411.144, a history of the locomotive can be found at https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/usatc-6046/

No, because each individual is still working the same number of hours per week, just in a different format.

Have a look at http://www.railfaneurope.net, plenty of basic details and pictures arranged by country.

There definitely is (or was) a driver Driver though haven't seen him for ages.

Indeed, people have very long memories for that sort of thing. I know of drivers who are still referred to as "scabs" for working during the ASLEF strikes over flexible rostering in 1982. Two other things: Firstly, if it comes to a ballot, make sure that the RMT have your correct current...

No, it's probably Willesden Carriage Shed North in Wembley depot; the nearest station is Wembley Central. It was two shifts, 6:00 to 14:00 and 20:00 to 6:00 and 6:00 to 18:00 / 18:00 to 6:00 on Sundays but that was two years ago so things might have changed since then.

I wouldn't like to risk walking over the bridge at Pocinho on the rail deck but crossed using the road deck underneath last month on foot.

I mostly use Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland though have more recently taken to using the Raildar site mentioned above but still cross-check with the Atlas. I got fed up with the UK for "bashing" around 20 years ago, it doesn't help that I have zero interest in multiple units of any sort.

Not sure how to do that as its the best part of 3,000 lines long! But here is a brief-ish synopsis: January 4,744.97 (decimal) miles (started the year in Budapest and includes travel in Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland followed by a railtour in the UK then back to...

I will have to declare at 60613; still have quite a lot of silly bits and pieces to work out but nothing major. Won't have time to finish the job in the short term due to starting to amass this this year's haul though, TBH, I'll be rather surprised if I beat 2018s total!

Been busy doing a lot of catching up over the last few days but still haven't quite worked everything out :oops: There are only a few long journeys to work out now so I'll concentrate on them and stop stewing my brain over some rather complicated Hungarian narrow gauge and tram distances.

In a very similar vein, mine was D8137 and 7903 double heading the 17:00 Cheltenham Race Course to Toddington on Sunday.

Yes, they are the Kms + metres.

See HERE ; not run by DB or terribly frequently but have been running to roughly these times for a number of years.

Could do worse than check out the Ibis budget at Zürich City West Tram no.4 stops right outside the door or Hardbrücke station (numerous S bahn services) a short walk away. There is an Ibis and Novotel in the same block if you want something a bit more upmarket as well.

Yes, it should be 44871.
