Ha,I wouldnt expect a class 777 to turn up on a service anytime soon. The lower level at LSP used to be Garston and the Mainline station used to be Allerton. It became Liverpool South Parkway as a bus and rail interchange in 2006. Coincidently the Mainline platforms are situated in Allerton and...

Heritage Class 50 doing 100mph between Reading and Paddington. Class 37 unrefurbished original Blue ones on heavy freight. Class 20s,as I always saw them in pairs and they look and sound impressive. DMU Class 116 (affectionately known as the C3s on the Valley Lines).I hated their replacements in...

I notice for Scotrail services unit numbers are shown in the train running description. Does this feature for any other operators at the moment? Thanks in advance

The Cardiff ones were B40D but when converted to single door became B44F. No luggage racks in ours. These were of course 10.3 metre examples. Also of note. 201was an M reg which had a long pod. The others 202-221 were N reg and had shorter pods. Does,anyone remember travelling on 2 speed ZF...

So by the looks of it Leisure travel is not allowed still?

Was wondering if spotting is,allowed again at railway stations or if stations have banned it during the lockdown. Now it's been relaxed a bit,was hoping to get out in a few weeks. Obviously subjected to social distancing.

The Cardiff Nationals were pretty fast. Average 55mph top speed. Does,anyone know of any 2 speed ZF examples in existence? Thanks for the above replies btw

Is there any difference between 10351 and 10351A models? Did,A mean automatic? And did transmission differences make a difference in the codes. There were Automatic and semi automatic versions. Cardiff had some 2 speed ZF examples.

Thanks chaps

Yeh,noticed its 2hrs later through Huyton tonight. So I won't see it to film it this time round unfortunately. Wonder why it has to spend so much time parked up at Crewe and why it doesnt get routed via Runcorn?

Nice to see them back in action.

Ok,just posted my reply whilst others were posting theirs. So if its,a TfL pass,then it's as ComUtoR says unless you are offered the privilege.

If it was a quiet service Why would the gaurd be even bothered for letting a member of staff the privilege. If you offered your Priv for examination,then ask, the guard would know you were an operator and there would be no confrontation. It's like a bus driver refusing free travel to another...

Yeh,I noticed all the tapework lol.

Just got it passing Huyton bus station

The trains come out of Merseytravel budget not Liverpool City Council. Will be nice to hear of more 777s arriving soon. Ha, I still havent seen one yet!

I seem to notice when searching through more train information for various freight trains,it shows the actual locomotive number operating the service in question,but only on GBRF services,notably the Drax-Liverpool corridor biomass trains. Just wondering why DBS or any other operators trains...

Up thread,someone states that all the GWR 143s worked in Wales. Found an old photograph. This is 143 611 in Valley Lines livery.this post is to clarify,you were correct.

As a bus driver,I wasnt keen on Volvo B6s. As an enthusiast though I loved them! Some of the ones we had at Gilmoss were dire to drive,but they made some nice sounds. Nowadays,I can't go a bungle on MMC's and Optare Solo's. Does anyone ever remember CVE Omni's? CMT Buses had some. When they...

Also,government relaxation of all rail franchise agreements due to covid-19 pandemic.
