    Does anyone know if 66309 is still in the yard(s) at Eastleigh, or has it moved into the works yet?

    Faster turnaround at a Long Distance Terminal

    I've used a similar set-up in use in one of the termini in Moscow, the equivalent of the Gatwick express arrives, doors on the left open and you can exit quickly because the platform is empty and everyone is heading the same way, once empty the doors can be swapped over (left close, right open)...

    Railcard app version suddenly not supported

    A right faff Followed the instructions but the link to create a new code did not work. Had to delete both phones connected to the F&F railcard, only then it would let me generate a new code which finally worked. So I'd give it 2.3 out of 10.0 for the quality of the fix and the associated...

    Railcard app version suddenly not supported

    Same here (android). Deleted the app, reinstalled, now says I'm not connected to the internet (I am) and now says 'Oops! something went wrong, please try again later). Thank goodness I wasn't travelling.

    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    Hamilton Square for the Wirral Lines - once they've been around the loop you can stay on the one incoming platform and get them that way. Sandhills for Northern Then you also want to travel past Birkenhead North depot (anything to West Kirby or New Brighton) and Kirkdale depot (anything to...

    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    We were out and about yesterday in Merseyside- without trying too hard we saw about 2/3rds of the fleet (about 20 of each class + 10 x 777s). Except for a few parked up, the vast majority were working - so you shouldn't have too many problems getting a few shots.

    Ghost train gen info

    Try this: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P05164/2023-05-27/detailed#allox_id=0 Some services do not always show at all the intermediate points on a route, so if it doesn't show immediately try searching at a major station (like Dawlish Warren) as well.

    Willesden Junction also worth a try with both high and low levels producing freight.

    HS2 Colne Valley Viaduct construction updates

    So a few photos from last Sunday (Feb 6th) No progress from the near side of the latest arch, but the machine how now moved forward so that it spans over to the next pier and some concrete sections are in place. The metal strapping around the latest gap is in place and it looks like the...

    HS2 Colne Valley Viaduct construction updates

    Will do. I drive past about once a week, so will try and grab the odd photo when I can. I suspect it'll get hard to photograph once it veers away from the main road, but I can only try.

    HS2 Colne Valley Viaduct construction updates

    A few views from today: Piering into the distance: Construction is approximately one span further on than a month ago. Here you can see half a span in place and a clear view of the cross section. Notice the 4 workmen and the temporary barrier fencing which gives a real sense of scale. It...

    HS2 Colne Valley Viaduct construction updates

    As of this morning (1/1/23) it looks like this: Depending upon how you count them the latest span (5) is almost complete and the first half of 6 is in place. I'm ignoring the short initial span in my count, if you include this then span 6 is almost complete. There is a small gap still to...
