Is it my imagination or is only the WCML whose fast lines shut sometime after 10pm on weekdays - meaning all express trains end up routed on the slow lines extending journey times? On all the other main lines - GWML, ECML, GEML, MML, i'm sure both the Slow and fast lines remain open until the...

Just noting that 1M19 Glasgow to Euston has been stuck behind a slower Liverpool Lime Street to Euston service tonight. Looks like NR signallers are to blame as the Glasgow was on time as far as Stafford but the Liverpool was not routed out of the way on the up slow from Stafford. The Glasgow is...

While the North end of the Trent Valley stretch of WCML is 4 tracked and 100mph+ on both the fast and slow lines..the southern stretch is only 3 tracks with slow lines limited to 75mph. Is there any evidence to suggest this southern section is proving to be a performance / reliability...

Looks like Greater Anglia ran a non-stop train from Liverpool Street in Norwich in close to or faster than record time. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/servic ... 5/detailed 9P26 seems to have covered the distance in under 83 mins, where the current record from 1987 stands at 83 min 22 sec. I'm...

I boarded a Class 745 at Manningtree recently and noted that first class was at the country (Norwich) end for a change. I guess that somehow it must have ended up wrong way round at the Crown Point triangle? Is there still a plan to keep first class at the London end, or is that irrelevent these...

As the title suggests, should there be a basic standard fare based on mileage travelled? And if so, what would be a fair fare? To encourage more people on to the railways to take the train rather than drive (where the service exists) does anyone have ideas on how should the train be priced? The...

I am noting that quite a few of the Class 22x have 'blown' window glass - the exterior tint is much darker than usual with a build up of condensation inside. This might seem a strange request but I am looking for reports of set numbers with these blown windows. Last night I noted that 222005...

Moderator note : posts #1-#7 originally in this thread: (2) Class 810 (was originally class 804) for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates | RailUK Forums (railforums.co.uk) More time is likely to be lost for pathing allowances to let TL criss cross to and from the fast lines...

Can anyone confirm what motive power this is today - 1C43 Leeds to St Pancras? Thanks

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #14 originally in this thread. Weren't there plans to introduce an hourly HML service each way eventually?

Just clarifying, it it true the maximum speed allowed for carrying passengers is 25mph on Heritage railways? Is there a reason why that is the case? Are higher speeds allowed on Heritage and private railways for test/ other purposes where passengers are not carried? if so, how is the maximum...

Are all GA 360s now off-lease or are some still in service? Details please.

Monday to Friday Class 720 diagram; Diagrams seem to have changed from Mon 14 December - awaiting further detail:

Can anyone help with identifying which trains are most likely to be allocated to Class 380's at this time? cheers in advance.

The Renatus units are very clean and bright on board of course..i can understand people mistaking them for new..

A further 43 km of the Bologna to Lecce Adriatic railway has now been upgraded for 200km/h (124mph) running - between Bologna and Ancona as part of a long term plan to convert 300km (186 miles) out of the 798 km (500 miles) between Bologna and Lecce to 200 km/h. The works are planned to be...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/gwr-operating-short-hstgti-sets-see-diagrams-section-for-workings.145727 In hindsight, they should have gone for bi-mode 755's for these services. Cardiff to Taunton services would have been able to use electric power to Bristol...

Does anyone know for defnite when Greater Anglia Class 379's are due off-lease due to new Class 745's due in service?

1H23 Paddington to Weston Super Mare - a 5-car 800 016 Certainly one GU did not power up at the Bristol Parkway changeover. No traction motor sounds in coach B either. Approaching Reading we caught the 1236 Paddington to Exeter , which having left 5 late had lost even more time to Reading and...

Does anyone know which routes the Class 380's are now used on since they have been displaced off the Edinburgh Glasgow route by 385's?
