    Class 387

    Ooh what's the other fleet? (Genuine question) i thought it was just 387's they were bringing out Swt are a heaven like company compared to govia though imo! The trains on thameslink and gn (i use both) have definitely got a lot dirtier and less timely since they took over, and they were bad...

    The Bakerloo line has a new voice

    Oh okay it does sound like her, but I guess the question then is why? The announcement is pretty much the standard "all change please" that Emma had. I can't work tfl out sometimes :?

    The Bakerloo line has a new voice

    Today I was on the bakerloo line to queens park, and noticed some strange old woman voice talking at me rather than the usual one. I thought I was going a bit crazy because it sounds SO weird, but I found it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CWb4O20s7kA#t=605 skip...

    Govia 365 refurbishment

    well, to be fair the conflicting info is also the fact that all i ever seem to see is the FCC liveried ones - always seems to be about 30% GTR and 70% fcc but guess that's water under the bridge now I know it is still going ahead. plus I'm guessing that the GTR ones usually only are used on...

    Govia 365 refurbishment

    So the refurbishment is still going? Gah too much conflicting info, wish govia would just be upfront themselves about it :/ But that is a shame if they're only keeping half, they're the best trains in the gn fleet currently

    Govia 365 refurbishment

    Hi, I don't post much so sorry if this is in the wrong thread or if it's already been covered! But what is happening with the 365 refurbishment with the new franchise? I read somewhere (just someones twitter not an official) that govia stopped the refurbishment and the only refurbed ones are...

    Are our railways haunted? (ghost stories)

    I've heard quite a few have been seen at kings cross, apparently one man saw a woman dressed in jeans sat down crying inconsolably, but when he approached her she disappeared :/ she was presumed to be a victim of the kings cross fire in 1987 i find it sad more than anything that because of one...

    Class 387

    so when will the entire thameslink fleet be run by 387's and all 319's cascaded? sorry if it's already been mentioned

    Double-decker trains could hit Britain’s railways to ease overcrowding

    those "express flyover" things don't make any sense, why would you want to bypass basingstoke or woking? they're busy so wouldn't all trains stop there.. i call bs on the dailymail, don't think they know what they're talking about :roll:

    Class 387

    Oh really? That doesnt look great to me either as it doesnt even go with the thameslink logo. What was the reason for some 319s having the white with pink doors?

    Class 387

    What even IS the thameslink livery, whilst on the subject? I've seen about 5 different ones floating about. Is the official one just white with pink doors? Confuses me how some have pink doors and some blue, and the fact 387s which are completely new so couldve been painted, have green doors :|

    Class 387

    oh god so we have to wait until the 700's start coming in? I just thought there'd be enough 387s for the entire thameslink fleet, displacing both the 319s and the 377s but sounds like i was wrong woops

    Class 387

    as a commuter on great northern rather than thameslink, does anyone know what's happening with regards to the 321s and 317s replacement with 377s? great northern said it'll happen in 2016 but if all the 387s are running on thameslink by may 2015, i don't see why the thameslink 377s couldnt...

    Are our railways haunted? (ghost stories)

    That feeling when you reach the end of the thread, sigh. I want more from old timer!! :D --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I hope everyone else hasn't given up on this thread, but I just remembered hearing about this story from the moorgate crash. At Moorgate, in the mid-1970s...

    365517,New Livery.

    I have a love hate relationship with First, but I do think dynamic lines looks great on the HST's and adelante's (not so much on the 166's as they seem too small in length to have it IMO) its just the neon pink on the grabrails and doors when youre inside that I really think makes their trains...

    Woah. Can't believe the amount of hate, have you seen what it's replacing? The stupid First corporate dark blue and neon pink looked awful!
