Are you saying the wagons are pulled by steam, or just that The RSR must give permission for EWS to use the line?

A 4-car 377 had a crash earlier this year, that required repair or maintainence to three of her cars. The fourth car (one of the middle cars, I think the trailer) was not damaged and remained at lovers walk. It was briefly used to make up a 5-car 377, but for some reason it didn't work out and...

Pausing the overhauls at Wolverton would also free up 2 units.

I can't give unit numbers, but I think I've seen this on the FGW services running Brighton - Great Malvern, if not then it would have been on SWT units.

Yes, it definitely booked me a ticket. The first two times I went through the booking process it said something along the lines on "there are no more reservations possible on this service". The third time (later train) I was able to reserve a seat and I got the "seating is reserved" message. I...

I purchased an off-peak open return ticket from Brighton to Bristol TM on the national express east coast website today. I specifically delayed my journey so that I could get a train that had seat reservations available (the site will tell you if a reservation is not available on a particular...

On some units the windows are secured with a T-key, on others there is a small handle for passenger use.

That blue might be for the teenage cancer trust, which she is named after ("Teenage Spirit in honour of the Teenage Cancer Trust"). https://www.teenagecancertrust.org/

Great, thanks

I normally buy a monthly season ticket between Brighton and Burgess Hill. With the forthcoming fare increases, can I buy one for a longer period, say 3 or 6 months, to keep the current lower price, or are you charged the cost on date of travel anyway?

I'm waiting to see 364 and 365 running *together* :P

That sounds pretty silly to me - you'd end up with two different length sub-types and less flexibility. Wouldn't 6 car units that can be coupled make more sense?

Well it didn't take long for this prediction to come true! No, there haven't been any franchises handed back, but a power company has gone out of business. They were a small one who had too many customers on fixed rate tariffs and were therefore unable to cope with wholesale power price rises...

"The world's easiest quiz" 1) How long did the Hundred Years War last? 2) Which country makes Panama hats? 3) From which animal do we get catgut? 4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? 5) What is a camel's hair brush made of? 6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are...

I'd be interested to see a study into loading and passenger perceptions of individual trains in the central Thameslink area. Some of the 319s are 2+3, but others are 2+2 (at least between the doors) with the same seats, leading to a wider isle. Personally I'm happy to sit on either of the...

They have now updated their website, it will be 26 trains per day in each direction (up from 22 now, 1 more for Paris and 3 more for Brussels). http://eurostar-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/eurostar_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3782

I wasn't able to find the Norwich union advert on their official site (it should be in the list at http://www.aviva.com/index.asp?pageid=61) but did find it at visit4info. http://www.visit4info.com/advert/Norwich-Union-What-About-Keith-Norwich-Union-Insurance-Services/62849 I imagine the 458...

I've not seen the figures, but I'd have though the last two of these, plus site set up / return and general red tape would be the vast majority of the additional cost. If it was just the first three factors then I think we'd be talking about 10 times the cost, rather than 1,600 times the cost...

Can you provide a picture of a tri-lens signal, as from the above it sounds like a signal with one lens that changes colour, but that would not work for drivers who were colour blind.

I always think that when the same guard wanders down a train more than once. Can he really remember whose tickets he has checked, or is he just relying on those whose tickets he hasn't checked (and have valid tickets) to show them? Would it not be much more effective to do an hourly check of...
