Would have been cheaper and quicker to bung up the 225KV lol

Wierd dream last night. Whilst spotting at Stafford (in my dream lol) saw a HST power car hauling 2 mk4s a BG barrier vehicle,2 class 142 Pacers another barrier vehicle 3 mk3s another barrier vehicle,2 more 142s another barrier and another HST power car at the back! Both power cars and all...

I suspect all the ex SR DEMU classes 201-207 had each ends classed differently with the engine compartment/ brake van present. Most notable with an upside down triangle symbol at one end.

Thanks mate

Stored at Walton Yard I think. Ones that have been to Crewe for upgrades if I'm not mistaken? Is there any capacity on the Merseyrail network to take on more 777s atm?

My dream earlier,I was on a HST leaving London Paddington going to Cardiff Central and I drifted off to sleep. I woke up as the train was departing Cardiff,so next stop was Bridgend. When I got off it was a TfW class 170? I crossed over the platform to get the train back to Cardiff and the next...

A single from Maidstone East to Maidstone West is £2.10. Although you won't get a train from East as you have to walk to Maidstone Barracks which takes around 10 minutes. Or if you walk all the way from East to West via the town centre it takes around 15 minutes. Another one could be Penarth to...

Anyone seen the Sky mobile data advert on TV. The fella runs for a train that happens to be a class 168 DMU as its pulling away. The driver looks out of his window and stops his train for him which turns out to be a class 165. Also,notice both trains in the station are 168326 in different...

Saw this in Liverpool Lime Street earlier. What is the reason for a renumber?

Transport for Wales Loco hauled trains. 67+mk3s and 37+mk2s. Preferred for the traditional train of travel. Pacers.-Always been a fan. 158s if I have to get on a sprinter type. But thats my limit of the good. I detest 153s and 150s And 175s have never appealed to me as they have always been...

My latest train related dream saw me waiting at Huyton bus station. My bus turned up and I sat upstairs,sat down and heard a train horn,so I looked out the window and saw a pair of BR blue 4 car class 115 DMUs going passed. I know they used to work back in the 70s but never saw any of the...

This site just gets better and better. Well done Tom.

Last night I dreamt i was waiting at Wigan North Western for my London Euston train from Glasgow Central and when it came in,it was 08347 on load 6 blue and grey mk1s! I asked the platform staff if this was my train,and they said yes! Looked at my watch and noted it was bang on time! I...

Spot on!

Reeltime trains shows this service as Electric locomotive hauling 331tons 1403 Hazel Grove to Blackpool North? Also of note,RTT shows set allocations for all Northern services but not this one?

Haha,smelly brakes on HSTs defo wins over smelly bogs on the Pendo's.

Weren't mk1 coaches round longer than mk3s though? They must have been a successful design if we are talking coaching stock as well. Mk1s include all the ex SR slam door EMUS so this post isn't off topic!

Welcome aboard.

I always wondered about Deltics on the ECML as there were only 22 of them,so they must have shared work with 47s before the HSTs arrived. Also some Deltics worked other routes. They were a great piece of kit and were like Marmite with some. You either loved them or hated them. One thing for...
