Thank you for sharing those details. Some very interesting points arise from it. Firstly i am surprised the 8car (yes i know it is 9 car now) only has one additional engine! The orginal 9 car 222s has 9 engines, a 9 car bi mode might only have 5 - that is brilliant Japanese engerineering...

Rather have a 26 metre At-200. Considering all the route is accepting 26 metre SET, might as well make GW a 26 metre carriage railway. Plus from 2015 there is a brand new train factory in County Durham with 730 people to build trains! Note the AT-200 meets all EU safety standards and does...

How did you get this archive PDF? I spent hours last night trying to find another PDF from Agility. It was released after the review in 2011 when the goverment confirmed they were proceeding. Showing seating formations of both a 8 car electric, 8 car bi-mode and a 5 car bi-mode SET. I would of...

I found this on the WWW whilst passing time away today....70018 at Brush http://www.flickr.com/photos/21095258@N03/7321431172/in/photostream/ Looks like a mini MPV!

They forgot one!!! 70017 seen in New York State on the 16th December.... http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2845290 http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2845283 Second photo is just epic!

I wonder if any member has had the same difficulties with the incompetence of National Express station staff as I did this Saturday gone at Cambridge Station. I would love your comments on what I might of not done, what I should of done and would i be reasonable to take this up with the Head...

I am pleased to hear there is an over all positive reaction to the AT100. There has been so much negative comments on the forum about Bombarider in Derby. I thought Hitachi could not of had better timing in advertising there communter EMU which will be manafactured in the UK. Thus train building...

A very interesting .PDF thank you. I have had time to take a photo of the UK version of the communter "A" train...the AT100. I am pretty sure it looks different from the orginal Japanese design and im sure its at liverpool street...a good 315, 317 etc replacement? I think...YES! I love...

A very brief post. I have noticed Hitachi are advertising there new EMU concept for future UK rail orders in various rail magazines. Its a picture of what i think is a good looking sleek train in the NE (County Durham) factory they are building (Next to a SET) and at Liverpool Street station...

I have a few thoughts. Firstly, I warmly welcome panto car additions to 220/221s. Extra seating is very welcomed. But... Secondly, Surely these should be built in Belgium where the orginal 220/221s were manafactured, might the "jigs" still be lying around? I find the idea that 57 coaches...

I am rather confused here. I know this is last weeks news, I was rather hoping someone else might of asked on here or GBRf would of done a press release. Alas I now ask... I am confused to why GBRf have just named 66730 "Whitemoor" when 66701 is already named "Whitemoor", why is this and is...

Before i respond to your ridiculous accusation may i ask have you ever travelled for more than a month through the extensive and diverse space that China is? Not just the main cities but the vast geographical space of the country as a whole? Engaged with 56 ethnic groups of China? Asked...

I saw 57308 in the EWS sidings at Eastleigh as i voomed past on 444023 at 19.40 tonight....:)

I dont see, nor would invite CSRE trains. Nor will Health and Safetly or whoever in the Government who will protect European interests and safetly. I have travelled in China extensively and ill tell you, there trains are an awful build quality. They leave Bombardier trains looking like luxary...

I have read on another forum (RMWeb) that a "Network Rail" 57/3 shall be visiting Eastleigh tomorrow (Saturday) for crew training and modifications? I would imagine it might be showing on Carl's Railways Photos site at some point if down in Eastleigh? (http://carlswatson.com/trains.html)

Sorry i am feeling a little dim regarding 57209 & 57212. Where are 52209 & 52212? I dont quiet understand why cant the two 57s be reunited with the two 52s thus getting back 150209 & 150212?

Aren’t passengers truly the most inconvenient for a train efficiency! All that weight they are: Body mass, Luggage, Clothing, Mobiles, Coins etc. I call that we just get rid of all passengers on all electric trains as your making the train most inefficient!! lol Im sorry to be sarcastic, but...

I think Bi-Mode trains are a great idea. We shall never see 100% electrification of the rail network. Not even countries with considerable more electrical networks than us are not at 100%. Thus the Bi-Mode is a perfect solution. It allows services to swap between availability of electric to none...

I am tempted to pre-order the Kernow/Bachmann Class 205 in Connex (http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/product/25953/K2002_Bachmann_Class_205_2H_Thumper_Unit_number_205_012) only because i remember this company and never got a change to throw eggs at them...with the model i can lols. Sorry...
