    Shelved Plans re Selhurst Triangle Bottleneck

    Spend the money on electrifying the uckfield line, the north downs and the marsh link instead. If all current coastal to london trains were 12 coaches not many being 8, the reigates were 8 or more (platform expansion needed), bring back the missing hourly train via worthing to London, reinstate...

    Great British Railways - First Train in New Livery

    I think there is widespread concensus that it isnt great as it is. Youd need the white and red union jack to form stripes or something that would continue on every coach to meet up again at the other end to join the mirroring union jack bit. It may look too much like network southeast.

    Great British Railways - First Train in New Livery

    Exactly. I do however think during privatisation there should have been more default / universal liveries to avoid the extra cost im painting trains if they were to change operators. Theres been alot of silliness over the years.. great eastern had about 6 different liveries on its units at one...

    Thats why its flipping ridiculous that we even need to complain about the seats. They should already be good enough.

    No lumber support affects me on these plus the hard base 1787917948 I reckon the 387s will get new bases too.. especially if we keep putting pressure on them lol

    Yes.. certain train seats were less comfortable than the ones before but 700s are ALOT less comfortable. Any extra padding would be an improvement

    Lewes derailment - Thursday 13th August

    Thats my thought. If the front of the train went over that it would definately have been derailed aswell. I would say the embankment gave way under the train 1786642446 Sone really poor reporting as usual
