    Class 710 LO

    Having bashed the 710s today, these are the formations I noted in no particular order: 109 + 122 126 + 127 108 + 129 263 + 124 121 + 102 115 + 114 116 + 105 117 + 118 125 + 103 112 + 130 104 + 110 123 + 113 128 + 265 Think I missed a couple, but was getting quite hot and tired of going back...

    South Devon Line Wrong Way Working

    As far as Manningtree goes, there was SLW through P3 last Sunday (24th September) all day whilst P1 was being relayed. Believe it caused some delays to start with.

    Trivia; if tube stations were sponsored?

    Wombledon, surely.

    Which train type will you miss the least when they are all withdrawn?

    376's - Soulless trains. The Networkers aren't far behind, but that's due to lack of care- they all reek inside.

    Cheers. I'll go hunting for others then :)

    Class 710 LO

    Does anyone have a list of which 710/2's have worked out of Liverpool Street? I've had 265,272 and 273 but was wondering if there have been any others. Thanks.

    How difficult is it to arrive or leave at all timetabled platforms. 5 year project to achieve this.

    I would hold off on Bromley North P2 until they have engineering where they run trains from Charing X straight through (or via Lee Curve!)... admittedly, this has not happened in quite some time now. If I would have known you was in SW London, I would have come and said hi :)

    New waiting shelters at Clifton (Greater Manchester)

    The only time I visited, some local workers were using the shelter to smoke wacky-baccy - I'm sure they will be most appreciative of the improvements.

    LSL announce Pacer railtour

    Adam Savage has his own Youtube channel 'Tested' which is quite entertaining. The guy has endless enthusiasm.

    Why the SDO at Drayton Park?

    Similar thing last time I went to Bowes Park. Onboard announcements saying rear coach doors would not open, but plenty of room on the platform and all doors were released.

    One person's Carriage Line is another person's Battersea Reversible :) The line is noted as "BRV" in online timetables...

    How difficult is it to arrive or leave at all timetabled platforms. 5 year project to achieve this.

    It's the lines that run from Wandsworth Road marked as Up Stewarts Lane and Down Stewarts Lane. Unusual for passenger use.

    RealTimeTrains website

    I believe this post from a few pages back explains the situation: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/realtimetrains-website.189152/page-63#post-6267676 TBH, if I ran RTT, I would probably have chucked it in by now with all these silly requests. You don't think Tom knows what needs doing or...

    How difficult is it to arrive or leave at all timetabled platforms. 5 year project to achieve this.

    Earlsfield P1 (not P3) is doable, but I've only ever seen early morning Sunday services use it during a slow line block- obviously up services skip the station. Wimbledon P4 can also be done with mainline trains, but is much rarer. The hardest platform for London Overground at Richmond is P7...

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    Another 701 being taken to Wimbledon this morning (thanks to a GBRf 47). Activity is certainly ramping up. As Wimbledon folk are on here, 5914 sounds like it has a problem towards the centre of the train- have noticed it sounding odd for a couple of days.

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    Just seen a GBRf 47 hauling a heavily graffiti'd 701 near Wimbledon- good luck cleaning that mess up.

    Class 455 and 458 ongoing maintenance updates

    Just seen a ROG 37 hauling a single 455/8 through Wimbledon (didn't catch the number). Is this off for scrap?

    SWR Class 458 to be retained

    Just out of curiosity, can a 458/4 run in multiple with a 450? Edit: I'm guessing not seeing as two different companies, but as a way to move a failed unit for example.

    How difficult is it to arrive or leave at all timetabled platforms. 5 year project to achieve this.

    Nice going on clearing Watford Junction through to Wolverton fast line platforms. We probably passed each other on Saturday once or twice, as given the information you provided, I decided to do the same thing :) It was odd that all the local stoppers were 12 car trains, and the semi-fasts were...

    68013 1K52 1746 London Marylebone to Kidderminster Thursday 11th May 2023.

    Don't hold back... Tell us how you really feel :lol: I do agree, beyond Birmingham was more a empty stock move than anything else, and I actually commend Chiltern for making it a class 1 instead of class 5. All good things come to an end at some point.
