Thanks for all your help guys! I really appreciate it. :)

Queen's Road Peckham can be seen from Southern trains to / from London Victoria

Hi guys! I live in Kemsley and I'm a regular trainspotter at Sittingbourne station and I was just wondering if there are any great stations to go trainspotting on the Southeastern network away from the Chatham Mainline (I've done the whole of the Chatham Mainline)? The way I say it suggests...

Oh ok. I would love to drive a 379. :p My friend Dan who works on the 379s at Ilford depot says that some of 379s can only couple from one end to particualr units.

Hi guys! I have heard that some of the Class 379s can only couple to another particular unit at one end only. Does anyone know why this might be? Seems a bit strange to me. Thanks guys!

oh I see. I hope this branding is never changed as it reminds us of our rail history.

ok. Thank you. It's interesting to see stations that have still survived with NSE branding since privatisation in 1996.

Hi guys! I was at Moorgate on the FCC underground platforms a few months ago and realised that the station signs are still in NSE livery and are in good condition. Are there any other stations in the UK that are still have NSE branding? Thanks guys!

During enginnering work between Gillingham / Rainham and Faversham on Saturday 5th April 2014 there were two 4-car class 375 Electrostars (I didn't get the unit numbers as I was on my way to Italy :p) on the Sheerness Branch which is unusual as 466s usually operate on the line. It turns out that...

Thanks to everyone who replied. :) Now I know that they won't be scrapped, yay! Passengers south-west will also be able to go on some more modern DMUs.

Woah!

Hi guys! When the GWML gets electrified what will happen to the 165s and 166s? I know that they may be cascaded by Class 319s or 387s but what will happen to the 165s and 166s after thay have been cascaded? Will they be scrapped or will they be transferred to another TOC or route? Thanks guys!

I've never heard announcements on 142s, but I belive that the Pacers are getting refurbished so that they meet standards to run in service past 2020.

They would get transferred to Southeastern?

My favourite intercity rolling stock: 1) Class 43 HST + Mk3 carridges 2) Class 180 Adelante 3) Class 91 / DVT + Mk4 carridges

Yeah, I thought it was that. When Connex had the South Eastern franchise they suffered finance problems and they weren't that good at keeping trains on schedule and maintained. That's why their franchise terminted early.

Hi guys! When Connex SouthEastern and SE used 508s I heard that they were a bit unreliable (I should know as I live right by the station in Kemsley and I know that we used to have them on Sheerness Branch before the 466s replaced them and I traveled on the 508s alot) and I was wandering if the...

Ok. I claim quick questions, but they are never quick :p --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Thank you for your help :) Much appreciated

Hi Ryan, you've missed a few diagrams out for the Faversham route. In the morning peak time there are 2 services in the morning formed of 12 coaches from Broadstairs to St Pancras Int'l via Faversham. There is also 2 services in the evening from St Pancras to Broadstairs via Faversham formed of...

Hi guys! I love the class 375s and I was just wandering if there is anyway of buying a model of one or will I have to do a class 170 converstion and relivery? Thanks guys! :)
