    Tram Derailment at Bulwell 12/06/2023

    Isn't this the wrong way round? The front section took the wrong route and the centre sections bogie took the right route? Admittedly it’s made very confusing by the wrong route being the route directionally to the right!

    EMR Class 170 updates

    As both are former Anglia units they may have even met before in a previous life (although I'm not sure how much overlap there would've been)

    Tram Derailment at Bulwell 12/06/2023

    Oh dear another points related incident

    Major Incident in Nottingham (13/06/2023)

    I think it’s more that there are multiple police cordons blocking the route in the city centre. The full service never got up and running so there won’t be enough trams on the other side of the city centre to Wilkinson St

    Tram Derailment at Bulwell 12/06/2023

    Unfortunate timing with the Robin Hood Line suspended due to a broken down train since 2pm. City buses also impacted by Parliament St/Milton St junction being closed

    Not stopping at Cheshunt

    I remember back in 2020/21 I got a 317 in the evening peak that was either non-stop to Liverpool Street or called at Tottenham Hale only. I think it was the return working of a stopping service (that may have gone via Seven Sisters? I can’t remember)

    Isn’t it this? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P72196/2023-05-25/detailed

    Class 180 Adelantes leaving EMR

    It has, however, spent the whole day as part of a 10 car formation with 222010. No idea about how many engines it’s on though

    Class 180 Adelantes leaving EMR

    That’s probably best for a speculative thread, but realistically why would the government fund XC taking on 180s when it is reducing the HST diagrams at the same time? Seems unlikely

    Class 180 Adelantes leaving EMR

    Off topic for this thread but it has been reported elsewhere on the forum that GC will be taking 10x221

    Issues with ADL E350H and E400H(Classic)

    I believe they need/needed a battery replacement as part of their mid life refurbishment works

    Issues with ADL E350H and E400H(Classic)

    Does this battery replacement issue affect all hybrids or any ones which use the batter in series? Do later Enviro 400Hs such as MMC suffer the same issues? Or will they?

    1992 stock Refurbishment?

    If they’re having to add a piece of moulding the full width of the window it seems daft to go for such a small PIS screen but that’s just me. Someone will say ‘it’s the same size as 95/96/09/73ts’ but personally it just seems a bit daft. Especially the 09 stock where the announcements need the...

    DLR B23 Stock (CAF Inneo)

    I think he might be referring to the fact that phone camera mics can sometimes make motors sound louder than they are in person. I remember it being a topic when videos first appeared of the 484s(?) moving and the new motors sounded really loud but people that had seen them in person said they...

    Thameslink trains becomming tired already?

    I wonder if having light coloured interior panels presents almost a ‘blank canvas’ on trains that go through areas with these problems. Something like the 345s might be better, at least perhaps as a lesson learnt for the future

    St Pancras Departure Boards

    I understand the escalator diagram says ‘current floor’ etc to show you do actually need to go up, but I think have a big arrow pointing downwards next to a picture of an escalator is asking for trouble

    Interesting the southeastern arrow is pointing down!

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    Surely someone could have come up with a better way to convey the info than that? :lol:
