Hi all, Back when 88002 did it's first passenger run up and down the WCML, I was at Nuneaton station to see it. Whilst there a sand train (Middleton towers to Ince and Elton) was in platform 4. I was speaking to the driver and he said that he was still in platform 4 due to a points failure just...

Hi all, After looking at some photos of class 92s, I've noticed that they don't use the upper headlight but it still works and is still there. I'm curious to when this upper headlight is used? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi all, I have seen this service on RTT for the past few days now, but haven't actually seen it run. It is also timed as a class 323, so does anybody know what this may be? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P90036/2017/06/16/advanced Thanks

Hi all, Just a quick question. A service that runs most Tuesdays, Middleton Towers to Ince & Elton Encirc Works, I was wondering where 'Ince & Elton Encirc Works' actually is? Looking on track maps, the nearest place I can find is Kemira Fertilisers, but it states it is out of use. Another...

Hi all, For the DRS Kingmoor open day on 22nd July 2017, does anybody know if there will be a bus service as I think the walk from the station to the depot is about 40 minutes. If not, is there any other means of public transport to get there? Thanks

Hi all, I have heard stories that there used to be a subway under Nuneaton station. Is this true? If so, does anybody have any pictures and are parts of it still visible? Thanks

Hi all, Saw 319365 today from Wolverton to Allerton. May I ask if it was this unit as I may have mistaken the number and what livery it was in? Seemed to be a white-ish livery. Thanks

Hi all, I have noticed that the majority of TOC and FOC drivers and staff have nearly the same style bags with the front being a reflective orange. I have also noticed that some staff have plain black bags with no reflectors. Are there any guidelines on what bags staff carry. Do they need to...

Hi all, Does anybody know what services class 59s and 56s work on past Acton Mainline through the yard and when I could see them.

Hi all, I was recently reviewing my pictures from when I went to Reading a couple of weeks back to see the 707s. In one photos I noticed that the tail lights weren't illuminated on one of the units. As it was a picture, I'm not sure if they were out only for a few seconds or they weren't...

Although current locos such as the 66, 67 etc. seem 'fairly' modern, can you imagine a time where you will see less of these locos on the mainline and a fair few in preservation? Fair enough, the class 66s and other locos have a long life ahead of them, but there will eventually be a loco that...

Hi all, For about a week now I have noticed that the up slow line has been blocked OOU. Tonight I have noticed that in separate blocks, there is now the message 'BANK SLIP'. Is there any information on this as I haven't been able to find any? Thanks

Does anybody know what was on this service? Seems very unusual and appears as ZZ on RTT. Also has return journey: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U53033/2017/03/18/advanced Thanks

Hi all, I recently purchased the North London Line off Steam for TrainSimulator. The sounds all play properly, but when in the cab or at the front of the train and I open the doors, I hear the alarm, but if I then go to the back of the train by pressing button 3, I hear the door alarms again...

Hi all, I've noticed that for well over a year now, 66008 has been sitting at Toton not doing anything. Looking at sightings lists, it looks like something must've happened between June and August 2015, where it has only been seen at Toton since. Does anybody know why it is there? What...

Hi, I know this sounds silly but can I have help with reading the number on the 143? I think it says 143607, but I have no other photos taken of it. Thanks

Hi, I've recently been drawing a few units out from the internet, but when getting onto the locomotives, there are less diagrams (if any) of them. Does anybody know of any websites or links where I can find these diagrams for the locos? Thanks :)

Hi, I've noticed that on 150/1s, the exterior door closest to the cab is similar to a slam door, whereas on the 150/2s, all exterior doors are sliding ones (see attachments). Does this mean that there is no staff corridor behind the cab on the 150/2s? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
