https://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/exclusive-london-gateway-liverpool-street-freight-trial-planned I can't find anything on here about this, I thought London Gateway is containers only. What would a 769 bring in to Liverpool Street? Does anyone know any more about this?

Having been reminiscing on the Progress or regression thread, I thought I'd start a new one (mainly for us older ones who remember the slam door days well!). With so many units now in very fixed formations and not interoperable with other units, the days of seeing a "hybrid" or two different...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/greater-anglia-rolling-stock-updates.143516/ With no realistic end in sight to GA issues, how difficult would it really be to get some 365's and or GWR HSTs in (short or long formed) to cover? How many hours training would drivers...

Watching a video of a brand new 321/3 on test in 1988, I remembered the very first units had a poor quality first class section which caused an uproar by disgruntled passengers on the GE. The window layout with two identical windows shows this, I'm sure the spacing of the seats was one issue...

I seem to remember shortly before 305's were withdrawn from Liverpool Street duties that a small number of 305/4's (3 car, large windows, low back seating) had class 302 trailers inserted into them (possibly giving first class) and then the whole unit received high back seating with NSE blue...

I'm just trying to amass some pics of HST interiors over the years. The original interiors of blue/green seating in standard and orange in first married up to the blue/grey livery - the red interior of standard and grey first class married up to Intercity swallow - but I've seen a pic of...

Hi, booked to go from Paris to Trouville (Normandy) next month - what rolling stock can I expect to get on? TIA

Sorry this has probably been asked before but just thinking after seeing GWR getting their short HSTs together. How much fuel does, say, an HST use vs a short HST vs a sprinter? And how does the cost compare to electric? Can they be measured in MPG? (or GPM?)

Sorry to ask about this old chestnut again, but in years gone past if a service is standard class only but happens to be using stock with first class carriages, you could sit in them with standard fare tickets. Is this still the case? I'm sure it is, if so is it with every company? GWR are...

It seems to be a busy time for the railways at the moment, with so much new stock and projects coming online, however it all seems to be in something of a crisis and a complete mess. I'd just like to consider the major stock procurement programs going on at the moment: Class 800 / 802 - (GWR)...

Boarded the 15.00 LST - NOR yesterday and after getting off at Colchester noticed a strange device bolted to the back of the loco at the rear of the train - not quick enough to get a photo unfortunately as the train pulled out of the station. It was as tall as the loco and looked like some sort...

I remember on previous threads on here people asking if a renatus style project had been considered for the 150 and came to the conclusion it hadn't. I've just found this - and not seen it discussed on here - when does this date from...

GA have stated that Sudbury services will be extended to Colchester Town once the FLIRTS have been intorduced. However, this would mean to maintain an hourly service with only one unit on the branch, there would need to be a long layover at Colchester Town hogging the platform. I've just...

https://tornado150.co.uk/ Tornado is making a return trip from Liverpool Street to Walton-On-The-Naze on Saturday 12 August, tickets are still available. During the day it is making return trips from Walton to Colchester Town (these trips are sold out) Does anyone know if the shuttles...

Set myself a challenge - travel around the edge of Britain, staying as near to the coast as possible. Not allowed to travel the same route more than once even in the opposite direction. No travelling at daft hours! It looks like this could be done with a hotel each evening. I live in...

Have a look at: http://player.bfi.org.uk/collections/railways-on-film/ Its full of historic railway footage. I particularly like this one: http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-river-ride-1963/

https://www.abelliogreateranglia.co.uk/investingtoimprove In the banner picture, which is blurred, is that a 379 with red doors? It looks like it to me. Do any 379's have red doors?

I've just found these pictures of a class 308 with an unusual motor car: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/85326-dave-fs-photos-ongoing-more-added-13th-november/page-31...

I thought I'd start a thread re new liveries for people to add pics / links: https://anonw.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/enfield-town-is-almost-ready-for-boris/olympus-digital-camera-7033/ (Includes the naming of 315817) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ycBEWbmH80 Does anyone know if the...
