    11 coach EMU at East Croydon?

    That is highly illegal & against the railway convention (2007). Rules clearly state no service train is to ever exceed a length of 6 coaches, any TOC with the forward thinking & brain to run longer trains to meet demand will be penalised heavily!. :lol:

    How did you get interested in railways?

    I blame me mum, she took me to the national rail museum in york in 1983, and it all went from there really. Had a bit of a break in my mid teens, but got back into it again in me mid 20's.

    XC HSTs being shortened?

    Railway logic always seems to defy logic. Was in Edinburgh last night & saw a group of some 200-300 people gather for a train to Berwick. Then turned up a little 4car bus & i laughed as it went, seeing all the passengers crammed in like sardines.

    When will the tour operators put their 2010 programmes on their websites?

    Dont know why, maybe an operating reason. The Kettle tours on the other hand always seem to be announced well ahead, even at the end of a year.

    Group to preserve a different class of loco which is more unusual?
