If there is a delay which impacts on breaks at Cardiff which would then result in the Northbound service from Cardiff which the Crewe based traincrew would work being delayed Control and Resources would try to get relief with with a Cardiff driver and / or guard at Newport. This would mean the...

A long time ago when I tried both these PSUL's they both took two attempts. Hopefully the same happens for you. When i did it they were totally different services but it must have been about 10 years ago. I think you can check these days on Real Time Trains on a week by week basis in the...

That would make sense now. I wish I'd looked down at the Unusual Track now.

I went on my trip to Lille last week and had an excellent day out. Many thanks for all the tips. I incorporated many of them into my day out. Leaving Chester at 04.18 this connected with the West Midlands 05.11 Crewe to Euston. Arrival at Euston was 5 minutes late at 07.33 which worried me a...

Done Thur 5/3/26 St Pancras International Eurostar Platforms - York Way South Junction Lille Europe - Marrie de Mons Just one regularly used domestic line left now which isn't preserved. Watford East Junction - Watford North Junction on the Metropolitan line all that is left for now.

Like you@aar0 I wish there was a seperate thread for these enquiries. Like many other I'm not interested if the Loco is leading 1W96. I see an alert for this thread hoping for an interesting update but often find it is just about what is leading 1W96. I waste so much time over year reading what...

Many thanks for all the replies. It sounds like there is lots to do. Indeed I may return again with my daughter later in the year. 1770828456 I love Loco haulage. However I'd like to see a bit of Lille too. Can you catch BB22000's part way to Calais. Is there somewhere obvious to go to, perhaps...

On a Thursday in early March I'm going on a whistle-stop tour to Lille. I arrive on the Eurostar at 11am and return at approximately 18.30. Have anyone any ideas on what to do? 20 years ago I did something similar and just stuck to the city and did a bus tour. I'm tempted to go on the Metro...

Now that I'm down to just two bits of track in the UK off to Ireland for a change. 23rd January Dublin The Point - Abbey Street Busaras - Connolly O'connell GPO - Parnell O'Connell Upper - Broombridge Broombridge - Drumcondra 24th January Dublin - Belfast Drumcondra - Dublin Connolly Dublin...

Many thanks for that infomation. That's really useful.

I'm travelling to Ireland next Friday to start my quest to travel on all of Ireland's Rail and Tram network. As we are staying in Dublin I may start by trying to cover some of the LUAS network. I've looked at the LUAS website and the Branch Line Society's PSUL and I'm unsure on how to cover the...

It's an excellent Atlas. I use the same one for a similar challenge. I go on one trip a month to cover all the lines in Great Britain. 40 years on I've just got two left. These are Eurostar out of Saint Pancras and Underground Watford North curve.

Only at the start and end of the day. Also if there is a set swap midway through the day.

Many thanks for this infomation. That is great.

Many many thanks. That's really useful.

Does anyone know the history of the Rail 200 coaches in the Inspiration train? They are all Mark 3 coaches. One appears to be a sleeper converted into a generator coach. Are the others ex HST coaches? Alternatively are they from the West Coast Main Line or possibly ScotRail? I'm 99% sure they...

Many thanks for the detailed and informative post. Before I travelled I wasn't aware of the disruption on the Metropolitan line. I'd looked about a week in advance and noticed on the TfL website that there was no planned engineering work. There is a good document on TfL but only last updated in...

Unfortunately I'm working over New Year so won't be able to make it down to London then. 1762858900 That's my biggest fear. Whilst they may be timetabled they just go as ECS. Certainly on Friday night there was a train which left Watford 5 minutes before the scheduled Rickmansworth service as...
