Because 3260 and 3532 have been out of service for so long, I had given up looking for them, so I was greatly surprised when they provided my ride last night. Perhaps they've been back for a while and it hasn't been commented on? Colin

Specifically the two operated by West Midlands Trains. Can someone tell me where the one which is not in use on a particular day is stabled, please?

I was surprised to see S7 set 21487/88 running on the District line at Barking yesterday, as it has been out of service for a significant period of time.

I noticed on the Intertube website that set 21479/80, which I believe has been out of service for a long while, is running on the District Line today.

I'm planning a trip to Birmingham soon and I am keen to spot some trams. It appears that only about 15 are rostered for service so I was wondering whether it would be worth my while to take a trip to Wednesbury. Can anybody tell me whether there are any publicly accessible locations around the...

I'm doing a day trip to Manchester soon, and would like to know whether I need to seek permission or get a pass at either Piccadilly and Victoria. If so, where from? Also, which platform(s) at both stations provide the best viewpoint, especially for photographic purposes? Thanks in...

Am I right in assuming that there is a RAT which operates over the entire length of the District line? If so, is it the one consisting of D78 stock 7010/8123/17010/8010/7123, which I understand is stabled at Acton. Dependent on the above being true, is there a timetable available for it which...

I'm going to Birmingham in a few weeks time, mainly after classes 172, 196, 323 and 730. Firstly, are the staff at New St and Moor St relaxed about trainspotters, or will I need to seek permission or get a pass? Secondly, which platform(s) at New St provide the best viewpoint? Thanks in...

I use the Platform 5 UK Metro and Light Rail Systems publication for train formations, but I've seen some sets which differ from the formations given there. Specifically, 51525 is paired with 51717 (instead of 51705), 51609 is paired with 51705 (instead of 51717), and 51556 is paired with 51531...

On a recent visit to the capital, I thought I'd spend some time trainspotting at Euston. There seemed to be no problem accessing the platforms, but after about 20 minutes I was approached by a member of the station staff wearing a pink bib, who politely asked me to leave the platform. I expect...
