    Diagram and Allocation "Security"

    You're absolutely right - there's no reason for it to be any kind of priority. However there are websites, for example, that show the live location of planes and actually give the identity of the plane. The same with boats. I've absolutely no idea how difficult it would be, but could the...

    Diagram and Allocation "Security"

    That is a very reasonable suggestion in the case of Twitter. More widely, though, I presume there is another reason why only railway professionals can get access to allocations and its not available in the same way that the live train position etc... is. There must be plenty of enthusiasts who...

    Diagram and Allocation "Security"

    They did ask the person in question to DM them so presumably it does make a difference. However, I'm not sure what difference it makes as it could still be someone with sinister intentions sending them a DM and they could very easily circulate the information they receive.

    Diagram and Allocation "Security"

    Today I noticed that somebody had sent a message on twitter to East Midlands Railway asking for the diagram of a particular unit. They replied that for security reasons, they cannot make this information available. At first this seemed to make sense, but I'm somewhat struggling to comprehend...

    WMTrains livery and station branding

    So why are they going to the effort to refurbish the 323 interiors into the WMR style? Will this also happen with the 170s?

    WMTrains livery and station branding

    Does anyone know why the Class 172 units have been given the much smarter purple livery whilst the almost identical Class 170s have the comparatively boring yellow and silver job? Something to do with the 170s moving on soon?

    If at all possible would you be able to confirm whether there was also a split after the 0702 from Great Malvern to New Street? From what I can make out it seems it was a Class 170 acting alone? Many thanks again
