I am aware of LocoTrack which is a CD-Rom based record facility. Where you can keep a track of your sightings and any photos etc. Are there any other similar facilities out there, preferably internet based?

Has anyone any details of the class 67 at the head of what I presume to be the Kings Cross Class 91 pulling out of Leeds at approx 20.15 Saturday evening? Did anyone get the Class 67 number? Many thanks

If you have seen the latest issue of the Railway Magazine, you will have seen the item on Sydney Gardens in Bath, with until recently an excellent view of the passing trains. Now a chestnut cleft fence has been erected obscuring the view. I am trying to work out the logic. Obviously the low...

I realise this is very short notice, but just found out I am going to be in York this morning, and have a couple of hours spare to watch the trains on the station. Where is the best place to watch? I will be arriving by train from Leeds late morning. Also anything interesting to watch out...

Can anyone tell me the number of the class 47 through Leeds today about 2.30pm with the big Union Jack on the side, pulling what I think were Steamtown carriages? Thanks.

I have just watched (recorded from Friday) Parade's End on the BBC, it is a period drama. Yet again TV producers/directors insist of filming steam trains on single track sections of line, even though the train depicted is an Express passenger. I do realise that double track on preserved...

I am sure this must have been asked before, but could not find anything in 'search' I have a new android phone, and wondered which is the best app to download for train times. Also any other railway apps that may be of interest. These do not have to be free, as none seem to cost a lot...

The above was the 02.30am depature class 90/67 hauled train to Leeds to run as required duing the Olympics. Does anyone know if it will be running as required during the Paralympics?

Does anyone have any photos of the Glasgow-Euston sleeper that was diverted over the Settle and Carlisle line on 29th June. As it was delayed I understand that by the time it reached the southern end of the S & C it may have been light enough for a shot. Also any photos for the...

I was in W H Smiths the other day and noticed they sold a 'Spotters Notebook' This was not just blank or ruled pages but had columns headed 'date' 'location' 'ref/number' etc. Not specifically designed for trains it could be used for any kind of transport, or wildlife for that matter. I cannot...

I appreciate that there is only a limited number of booked loco hauled passenger trains on the network these days, but are there publications, or websites that list them, similar to Freightmasters previous Class One publication?

It is not uncommon to hear enthusiasts to say that there is a lack of variety watching trains these days as opposed to in the past. This is not however what I want discussing. As much as I still love railways, for me a lot of the 'romance' has gone from the modern rail scene. One way to...

Having picked up a leaflet showing the timings of The Railway Touring Co. steam specials, it says it runs every Sunday from 22nd July to 9th September. The times for calling at Appleby on the return journey was 17.55. So yesterday (29th July) I went to Appleby station, but no sign of it, or...
