I was browsing the internet and found a news article announcing Trenitalia had been testing a consist comprising of two Class E464 4,693hp locomotives with a pair of UIC coaches in between. http://www.ferrovie.it/portale/articoli/8673 So with 9,386hp for a total consist weight of 230tons - and...

Is there any concrete news on any changes to EPS/nonEPS speed limit changes in advance of the Class 397's entering service?

Can we use this thread to discuss and report/update Class 800's with engines out / short forms etc? Also as the 800s performance is upgraded to a version closer to the 802's - any reports of units having had the upgrade would be welcome. Recent reports from RPS members recording 800310 suggest...

Passing through Doncaster yesterday, i couldn't help but notice all those HST vehicles lined up around Wabtec's facility. How many vehicles are being worked on and for which TOCs?

Travelled on 1J57 Margate to St Pancras Saturday 30th. Service formed by 395006 /015. This service running at much lower line speeds on both DC and AC than usual, despite no obvious traffic issues. Is there anyone in the 'know' as to what the cause was? Ashford to Ebbsfleet took almost 22mins...

Does anyone know which - if any - diagrams are likely to be class 90 hauled this weekend on the ECML? thanks in advance

Does anyone know if WCML EPS limits will be changed to accommodate the Trans Penine 125mph units entering service next year? Currently non-tilt stock is limited to 110mph, but there are clearly stretches of track limited to 110mph that are significantly straight enough to be raised to 125mph for...

Can anyone please confirm which diagrams the Class 180's are currently rostered for? Thanks in advance.

Just wondered why newer BR style overhead cantilever arms - which incidentally - look like a purchased Italian design (see attached photo) - do not use similar Italian lattice style masts - as they are visually far less intrusive than the very steel heavy masts we are using?

If there are any HST drivers/ driver managers on here on anyone related to subject of driving, i wanted to ask if there are any current driving guidelines with regards to starting from stations. In the pre- MTU days, i understand there was an instruction to keep power to notch 3 while one or...
