The desiro's are rubbish at coupling up, theres problems with them at Euston quite a lot too especially when its cold! I wish they'd left the 442's on the Waterloo to Weymouth Route, they were the perfect stock for that line, as the 444's are on the portsmouth route. Then the 458's could have...

Isn't there a stretch of 100mph track between Dundee and Aberdeen?

When they operated Birmingham - Liverpool, MML and Norwich - Liverpool (between Peterbourgh and Grantham) I guess they reached 100 mph regually.

The wires are down at Wigan North Western, OHLE team can't get there because of snow....going to be a messy day.

A landslip on the DF at Wolverton meant all services via the DS which can't be accessed from plat 6

The residual delays caused by the blockage of the UF might cause delays for the Gatwick - Reading trains, you'd be surprised how one incident far away can set off a domino like effect especially on a line with tight pathing like the BML

Think I may have seen this today about 13:30. There was a 442 unit half through the last signal before the platforms on the UF.

I think during the snow a few years ago they ran shuttles between Victoria and Brighton due to them not requiring 3rd rail. I believe they went from the south eastern platforms due the restrictions on fumes on the central platforms due to the low roof.

That's absolutely hilarious!

Thanks Tomnick, is it only on the GW main line these are in operation? How long have they been around for?

Thanks! That must have been what I saw. How does it work? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Almost 100%, the second signal looked different from what looked like the main one.

The other day I was travelling from Twickenham to Bristol TM. After we'd just left Reading I was sitting facing backwards on the side facing the up line. We'd been going probably 5 or 10 minutes and I saw a very strange signal. It was like two signals strapped together, the 2nd one seemed to be...

My neck of the woods, very sad just always think why? :( again sympathies to all concerned.

Top 3: 1: Class 465/466 (Spacious, bright, comfy seats, love the ding when the doors are released) 2: SWT 455 (Spacious, everyone gets on and off quick, just a nice place to be inside) 3: Class 377 (Spacious, seats line up with windows, air con works properly) Bottom 3...

5M16 slipped to a stand on the bank blocking some of the throat but on the move now, caused a few problems but nothing major

I've hear a rumour the Apsley one wasn't suicide...not sure how true that is, but that is truely horrific if it is true. I know the BTP took a block yesterday to more investigating

Was the 1538 Tunstead to West Burton PS hauled by 66 610

Would it not be an idea to send the 317's to Manchester to suppliment the 323's allowing those dmu's working under the wires to add capacity elsewhere in the area?

Hmm i'm sure I saw a picture though?

I think I read somthing somewhere that they trialled a LOROL 378 on that line recently.
