    Whats the most successful Locomotive or Unit in the UK?

    I would agree with many on here. 1st HST. Pioneer train that revolutionised inter City. 2nd class 47 jack of all trades 3rd class 66. Works straight out of the box. For Units it has to be the Pacer. A short gap that proved its worth. Although I suspect the Pacer haters will view this very...

    Mk1 Sleeping Cars

    Mk1 Sleeping Cars

    Thanks Peter.

But yes,looking for actual numbers with their prefix so I...

    TFW Pacer withdrawals

    Plenty of enthusiasts taking photos and videos of them in Cardiff Central on my last visit last year,but that was when the withdrawal date was 31/12/19. I dont think TfW were ever that keen on sending them off for scrap whilst struggling with stock shortages and the continued delay with 769s...

    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    I hope the 230s are a success Vivarail deserve that at least. The only other plan would be is to retain the 150s for the Borderlands line thus not replacing the Pacers on the Valley lines. Win win lol.

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    I only just got it at Broad Green. It was a fast bail off the 331s from Lime Street. Was running about 35 early. Luckily it was held at Roby for about 10mins. The weather was atrocious. But it was nice to see though.
