    Arriva Southend

    I haven't heard anything other than the possibility of those extra Wright Streetlite buses possibly leaving and moving to Guildford depot. But that is not confirmed yet.

    Potential Labour Party split (Split now happened).

    No the problem is people who can't understand the difference between anti semitism and anti zionism. That is the problem. Criticising the Jewish people and criticising Israel are two completely different things. So many people don't understand this. Saying that Israel is a fake illegitimate...

    What is the least used station on our Heritage Railways?

    Isn't it Ketches Farm Halt which is the one that still exists but no trains stop there? I thought that Freshfield Halt (and also Holywell Waterworks Halt and Bluebell Halt as well) has been demolished years ago?

    Arriva North West and Wales

    That £5.50 day ticket for Arriva North West & Wales is probably one of the best value bus tickets in the UK. You can get all the way from Greater Manchester to Anglesey on it.

    Potential Labour Party split (Split now happened).

    There is nothing else to say. The so called anti semitism issue doesn't actually exist. There is no anti semitism in the Labour Party at all. It is just all the zionists and their allies in the apartheid fake state of Israel trying to cause problems like they always do. As for brexit Jeremy...

    Potential Labour Party split (Split now happened).

    What else should Jeremy Corbyn say? Whatever he says the right wing blairites and pro EU lobby and zionists will continue to attack him so what is the point of making any other statement? There is nothing else to say. Better to just be glad that they have left and continue with making the Labour...

    Flybmi - another one bites the dust.

    Blaming this on brexit is complete and utter nonsense and typical fearmongering by the pro EU lobby. If it is really due to brexit then how do all the airlines in non EU countries such as, Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Turkey, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc etc etc, all manage to survive...

    Scotrail franchise award 2015

    Abellio Scotrail took over on the 01/04/2015 almost four years ago. That is not fairly new. That is more than enough time to know that Abellio are rubbish and that First were much better (they were still not excellent but they were a lot better than Abellio are).

    Arriva UK new buses 2019

    I wonder if Arriva The Shires (all of their bus depots in, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, etc) are due anything new soon. They seem to have quite a few older vehicles still in use at the moment.

    buses in legacy liveries

    I think that Go Ahead South Coast have a bus painted in the original Wilts & Dorset livery.

    Websites and apps that have a bus tracker that shows the reg number or fleet number of the vehicles.

    Yes i am hoping that Arriva in Kent and Surrey and Sussex will be added soon. It would be great to see the rest of Compass Bus added too as only some of the routes are showing at the moment. Also it seems that Go Ahead Brighton & Hove has now disappeared.

    Are there any bus vehicles left still painted in the original Arriva and First liveries?

    Many thanks for the info. I didn't realise there were so many buses still painted in the older Arriva and First liveries. I would quite like to get a photo of buses wearing all three Arriva liveries in one photo. Has anyone managed this yet? Where do you think would be the best place to attempt...

    What is the least used station on our Heritage Railways?

    Newby Bridge on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway in Cumbria might be another candidate for a very little used station.

I see you have already made two posts so you will need to make three more posts on this forum before you can message other people on this forum. I believe it...

    What are your favourite and least favourite trains in other countries?

    Another one i forgot to mention that i really like is the ER1 / ER2 / ER9 EMUs built by RVR and the DR1 DMUs built by RVR and the D1 DMUs built by Ganz Mavag which can all be found in Russia and most other ex USSR countries. They are mostly used on suburban and regional services. They are all...

    How is fare evasion dealt with abroad compared to the UK?

    Thanks for the info. I was wondering what the point of them was. So are France and Italy (and the other example in Switzerland that Bletchleyite gave) the only countries to use these on their mainline railways? Or are there any others as well? Just another question. At stations around Paris and...

    First trip to Germany

    You can still board trains right up until departure at stations in London. I do it all the time and see many people board as the doors are closing. I have never seen them stop access to the train one minute before. It would be impossible to anyway.

    Are any other railway network maps for Germany available?

    Many thanks for all those links. That is very helpful. Very useful to have for travelling around Germany on the regional trains.

    Progressive federalism - is now the time?

    I made a sort of similar thread last week - https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/does-our-administration-division-system-need-to-be-revised-and-simplified.177930/ - on this link. Yes i believe that the governance system needs to be overhauled. I wouldn't support a full federal system like you...
