    Scotrail 334 becomes uncoupled near Uphall (26/11)

    I would assume (and hope) the section would have still shown as occupied and the last signal would have been held at danger ?

    Overrunning Engineering Works Hull 26/11

    Are they normally ? It’s just that it is a TPE managed station isn’t it ? I mean if it happened at say Chester, who’s staff would you expect TfW, Virgin, Merseyrail or Northern ? I once remember an early morning at Prestatyn, there was no rail staff at all but the coach driver (coach provided...

    Cross country 2 car 170s and seat reservations

    Yes, I agree there, If I come along and there is no system to tell me such a seat is reserved, I’ll sit there, why shouldn’t I if I don’t know it’s reserved? and of course I’ll move if challenged. On the other hand I know how I’d feel if I had reserved a seat and it was occupied and I was...

    Disruption to Southeastern services from Victoria (23/11)

    Does it display in the what side the shoes are working on these units or just a line light ? Sorry if I didn’t word it very well but I wondered if it could have happened elsewhere and only become a problem in the locations the incidents happened?

    A 2-coach c2c service?

    I remember reading something similar a few years ago, ISTR one Saturday night the driver of the Brighton-bound 377 arrived at London Victoria to find someone had apparately urinated in his cab and the seat was wet, he quite rightly refused to drive the train and the service was cancelled.

    Greater Anglia 37’s

    Thanks all, thing that threw me was that in the passenger accomadation on the brake the seats were different, also the stickers above the door seemed to be bilingual (Welsh/English). It said 9521 on the side.

    A 2-coach c2c service?

    Never heard of them taking coaches out of a EMU set so guess the Vandalism is internal, seats ect. I think you are correct that they have locked those coaches oou. Must be bad though to lock out the coaches. RTT says the service (1W48) was pathed as a 357, don’t know the route, is that the...
