Yes but if Virgin are a Pendo short which happens a lot, then everything gets stepped up, so it can pulled from that diagram

To answer your question often 50 to 60 times a day! I see your point about boarding late but we do try to most of the time to board 20 minutes before departure which is plenty of time. As regards the concourse, space is limited due to the design of the station not being suitable for the amount...

Some of the arguements I've seen on here are really pretty poor. I cannot see why it is so important to wait on the platform, why why why do people panic so much at stations? If you are not so quick on your feet book assistance, if you are able bodied then book a reservation (which you can...

Never understand people like you, why there is always such a flap and panic about being at the platform ages before hand, 15 minutes is plenty to board a train. They are held back because there are so many platform alterations due to set swaps, delays etc and also to allow trains to undergo...

It is often a Voyager due to Pendo Shortage on the EBW's, nothing to do with North Wales, Chester etc

Was formed of a 9 car Pendo this morning (390 002) but more then often its a 5 car Voyager, normally forms the 0803 back to Birmingham

Why is a corridoor connection that important? I think for that route they are much better suited. Have you ever tried getting on a busy 159 at Woking or Basingstoke? You wouldn't have the problem of limited access with the door locked out of use at the front. As comfy as 159's are, and I hate...

But as mentioned earlier some will need to be retained for the Cleethorpes route probably I would imagine, about ten. Since the fiiters etc will already know how to maintain them it makes sense.

Yeah I would imagine so, would guess trains would join and attach at Chester to the Holyhead portions too

I've heard from a good source that the plan is to run a loop so in effect - Euston Milton K Cov Bhm NS Wolves Telford Shrewsbury Gobowen Wrexham Chester Crewe Milton K Euston So it will combine the Wolverhampton and Chester services freeing up Voyagers and Pendolinos for other...

Is there actually a reason why? Money i Guess.... I cannot stand some seats on modern trains especially the Class 450's they're a joke

Waterloo - Exeter would make sense as the faster accelaration and top speedof them would free up a path on the SWML between Waterloo and Basingstoke. Allied to the fact you can board people on and off quicker then a 159. Also as they are part of the desiro family things like maintainance...

What's happening to the class 185's when the trans pennine gets electrified? Also is the hope valley being electrified too?

Guildford to Havant is a really nice line for scenery especially south of Petersfield

Someone with a gun apparantly on the train!

I was on the district line yesterday from Wimbeldon and noticed a class 460 sitting outside the back of the carriage shed at Wimbledon depot. Are they doing the modifications there?

What about the door at the front surely that counts?

There is a charter from Blackpool North to Wembley, 67's I think is the traction

Class 170 to Nottingham

Holyhead is also on an island
