    Avantix replacement (previously: Arriva ditch Avantix)

    Northern (or whoever takes over) are replacing the Avantix too. With the Fijitsu been 1 of 3 I think that's was been considered and I believe that once the winning bidder has been announced the order for X amount of trial machines will go in for the preferred one (and possibly the other 2 for...

    St Albans City to St Albans Abbey

    Definitely walk able. I did it and took a slight detour to the Tesco Metro in town as I did it in summer and needed a drink. You walk up into the town and take a left and head down the hill Google says a 24 mins walk

    7 Day Rover trip

    I'd maybe look at if your doing Cornwall get the sleeper down and work your way back up during the day or Vica Versa and maybe your last day getting the Sleeper back from Scotland to London then all you'll need is a ticket from Euston to Three Bridges as your rover will have run out

    'Enthusiasts' beyond the end of platforms

    I've been to York multiple times for charters and they usually have BTP/security moving people back behind the lines/signs, or at very least the VTEC staff come down to enforce it.

    A right farce at Leeds.....

    333s are different no desk for legs to go under. 321s the driving position is higher. If it's the driver I'm think of he's a big and tall lad

    A right farce at Leeds.....

    The driver in question is medically restricted to electrics because of back problems I believe. I've took a 333 to Doncaster at 17:21 confused a lot of passengers. Then a couple of years back before the 322s arrived the 20:21 was diagramed to be a 333 but more often than not turned out a 321

    Unreserved Seats - which carriage/s?

    The 1000 from Edinburgh is the 0921 arrival from Doncaster so be there early let them do the reservations clean it etc but once they've done the reservations before boarding starts have a walk down the outside and find the best carriage and seats so you can dive straight on and claim them

    Scotrail Loco hauled

    Just had a very quick trip on the evening LH 1708 Edinburgh to Haymarket the 68s sound pretty good. Shame I couldn't go further but had to train to catch back south to York. 1 question I do have is what's the difference between the braking on this and other mainline LH sets and HST braking?
