If they did visit, they’d probably thumb all tne books with their sweaty palms.

Sad news, but not surprising. I haven’t been there for a good five years, but when I did go, it was fairly regularly and I usually spent at least £50-100 per visit. Why did I stop going? Products cheaper online, including magazine subscriptions and using, I hate to say places like Amazon for...

A bit off topic. Do LSL have their own drivers, or do they hire in staff from other TOC/FOCs?

From what I’ve read on Facebook tonight, it’s by road. A Colas driver stated that the flow to Sinfin will restart next month, presumably operated by Colas. A Colas 67 was down the branch earlier today route learning.

Thanks Mark.

Do oil trains still run to Sinfin? I’ve posted before, but no one replied, so I thought I’d try again in this more dedicated section. Thanks in advance to any replies,

Recently, on one of the railway groups on Facebook, someone mentioned that oil trains to the RR facility at Sinfin had ceased. I checked RTT, and realised that the trains no longer run. As RR needs aviation fuel to test its engines, how are they receiving their oil now....road or pipeline...

If employed by Scotrail, I’d say 158/170 and the shortened HSTs.

Far North and Kyle lines. East to Aberdeen and as far South as Perth I think.

Modern Railways is far superior. Detailed articles written by respected railway journalists. I’ve read it for the last 25 years. Rail on the other hand....went downhill years ago when Nigel Harris took over. Too cosy to Daft for my liking.

NewSo, a few snippets from a release to staff today..... Most Trent Valley services are strengthened to 8 coaches....the 1546 Euston to Crewe isn't however, as the 1549 to Liverpool via Birmingham gets 8 instead. Thanks for the update, sadly when I travel up to the Trent Valley, it’s mainly...

It’s on their wish list page on their website.

Maybe you’re outside the 60 minute commute?

Yes. Like I said post night shift fatigue.

Are the cab windows the same as the 385s? They look it to my post night shift untrained eyes.

According to Modern Railways, which is usually pretty reliable, the first unit should be tested on the line in March.

An amplified whistle sounds very unpleasant. My ears wouldn’t like that. Definitely follow it up as others have said.

From what I’ve read, onboard the Subway it will be completely unattended. The exception will be in the peaks.

Another vote for Modern Railways. I’ve read it for years and have just resubscribed for another two years. Excellent articles and expert analysis. I stopped buying Rail about 15 years ago. Was great when Murray Brown edited it.

Trainperson according to the job spec sounds like a shunters job with potential to get into the driving grade.
