Hi guys, just got a letter through that says 'intent to prosecute'. I don't read this section of the forum much so I guess I want your advice. So a week last Sunday I boarded an early morning service at Adwick, which I travelled on no problems to Doncaster, where I stopped for breakfast at...

...hold on a minute...nope, no threat at all. :lol: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1455609/I-am-a-serious-threat-to-Sir-Richard-Branson.-Im-going-to-run-him-right-off-the-rails.html I know it's outdated and I don't believe it ever can to fruition...but if only the railways were...

So this Friday I'm in London with Uni, the plan being to travel on a variety of different transport methods and report on the results. We're hoping to cover: ULTra PRT at Heathrow Thameslink DLR Borismaster (As well as the usual tube & buses) Any suggestions as to what else is...

Does anyone know which locos ran 630F last monday? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H90346/2014/03/03/advanced Cheers!

First have proposed using a variant of the Borismaster instead of the public sector backed trolleybus system. (Coach & Bus Week 1125) First says that the scheme will be much cheaper and deliver more benefit, in essence. My thoughts...simply put the NBfL will be a good looking bus...

Hello, I travel weekly DON-LBO on a Monday morning (usually the 0646-embankment slips excepted!) and return sometime Friday afternoon. Trainscanbecheaper suggests splitting at Swinton-but thats for an off peak ticket. I used to catch the train a bit later on a monday, giving the oportunity...

A while ago I attended a lecture about writing a good CV and covering letter, one of the key messages was to avoid the word 'professional' at all costs. They described it as an empty buzz word with no meaning, but I think in many cases is is relevant! For example, I have had a car driving...

Reading the latest issue of Rail (741, page 62) it states that 47798 "has not been seen on the mainline since its controversial use by WCR". What was this controversial use?

So, just got back from athletics training (yes we train 8:15-9:45!) and developing a banging headache, word of advice, even if it is just a 3k, never attempt a header with a medicine ball! Anyone else done something really stupid recently? :lol:

Hello, as far as I can tell from the Fares Guide on here, what I am suggesting below is not a problem and easy to do, but I thought I'd check! :) I am travelling back(on the return portion) with a return ticket from Loughborough to Doncaster this friday, seeing as all the trains like to...

So I've been reading V Vuchic's Urban Transit Systems & Technology which led me on to raise the question to myself, which is better? As a city grows it is obvious that a purely numbered system can be reasonably simple with similar routes given similar numbers, such as 5, 55, 255 and N5 for...

Announcement: We are sorry that the 15.39 to Sheffield is approximatley 16 minutes late, this is due to additional safety checks. That strikes me as odd! Any ideas whats going on? It's 1F43 by the way!

Ok, so lets assume the Sheffield/Rotherham tram train trial is a triumph(that's hard to say :D ) and along with an extention to Dore the supertram network is becoming more popular than ever. As the concept is new to the UK, do you think it would be commercially successful for the tram train...

From reading through bus threads it seems to me that there are a number of knowledgeable people on the forum in areas other than trains! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in taking part in a light hearted game where each user takes on the role of an bus operator to tackle a problem...

So, with the plans for the Sheffield - Rotherham tram train confirmed and HS2 destined for Meadowhall, what do we think lies in the future for the railway between Doncaster and Sheffield? I remember reading plans to bring it up to 4 tracks around Swinton, which makes sense given it is he busier...

Well Sodor did a best dressed station contest all the time so why not buses? I was lucky enough to see this one at work today! Hope it raises a smile, merry christmas all! But can anyone find a better dressed bus?
