I love the British Rail Class 374, Eurostar e320 i think there beautiful EMU's holy Schnikes does it look beautiful and the way they sound when they start oh man it sounds amazing. Has anybody been on the British Rail Class 374 yet? and if so how is the interior and the ride in general?
Oh phew I was worried that Southwestern, Southern, Southeastern, C2C, London Midland, Chiltern Railways all these companies were going to lose Rail service to TFL? and that these companies would disappear.
But I am glad its still being retained because I really like the Franchise idea to me it...
Ok so Southeastern, Southern, Southwestern and such will still continue just that those stations within Greater London will be taking over by TFL, but the rest that is outside of Greater London and beyond will still have the Franchises going on.
I like that there will be more of an umbrella...
I am curious about something though? I hear that London is going to have a new London Suburban metro network that will get the inner London routes to a huge umbrella company like London Overground?
I am wondering if they will get Thameslink, Southern and Southeastern to join if it will be just...
I am aware of the Go Brightline project and that its going to have four stations three in South Florida Miami, ft lauderdale, West Palm Beach and one in Central Florida in Orlando. Also the good thing about this project is that its going to be privately built for the most part with a few loans...

What the heck Railway travel is only 3% and yet it has a huge network??? I don't get it?

While...

I am in support of HS2, in the United States we are having plans and construction starting in...
Hello everybody this is my own 2 cents for HS2 i think to me both phases should be build at once if its possible because it will allow it to be completed sooner then later, or they could build it all at once and open it in phases while phase one is completed phase two can be under construction...
I saw this that Virgin Trains were advertising and I became interested that it could get me a chance to come to the UK and do this even though I know virgin trains only has a couple of more years left or maybe it can be extended more years as well.

Ohh so that's why there like that I can put up pictures to show how they are? I wonder what about third rail does that has an Effect on steam locomotives?
About electrification over here in the states the Pennsylvania railroad had electrified its mainline with overhead wires which look massive as heck, the ecml and wcml caternies look smaller compared to the pennsy which Amtrak upgraded and currently uses.
