A couple of queries regarding aspects of this line. Oulton Broad Swing Bridge: I noticed that, despite the line being single track between Oulton Broad junction and Beccles, there is space for a second track on the bridge itself, which I would imagine there was a second track at one stage or...

I was wondering, since the South London Line services are no longer run by Southern, what are the 456s used on nowadays? Do they run services by themselves or are they coupled to 455s to provide extra capacity. As I'm hopefully doing some travelling in London next week, do they run on...

If you were ever in doubt about how stupid the EDL are, feast your eyes upon this story. The irony of them using an anti-fascism song to promote far-right bigotry is absolutely hilarious! :lol: Good on the Manics for taking action. http://www.nme.com/news/manic-street-preachers/71397...

Does anyone have an idea of how many and which Class 150s operated for Scotrail? What replaced these in Scotland, and where did they get cascaded to?

I know the Chingford-Liverpool Street service is normally operated with 315s, but I occasionally see 317s on the route. Are these actually allocated/used on the Chingford services, or are they just heading to and from the sidings at Chingford. It definitely seems a more common occurance at weekends.

Would it be theoretically possible to travel on the Stansted Express between Tottenham Hale and Liverpool Street using an Oyster card? I think it can be done on the basis that I touch in on a reader at Tottenham, and then I can catch any train from there heading into the city, but I'm not...

So yeah, it's another one of my mad London trips, and sadly the only one I've managed to do this year. Personally, I didn't think this one was as good as my August 2012 trip which can be found here.), primarily as I had to return to Lowestoft the same day. But here goes. Caught the half seven...

I was thinking about how much of the London Underground map (including Overground and DLR) I've covered over the years. This is what I've done so far. Bakerloo: Warwick Avenue to the Elephant. Central: Shepherd's Bush to Debden (excluding the Hainault loop which I haven't touched so far)...

Yesterday, I bought tickets to travel between Norwich and London Liverpool Street, plus a return, for the 23rd of February. It transpired that First Class would actually be £4 cheaper than standard class (£19.50 against £23.50) on the journey to London, so of course I went for it. But why would...

This was the second time I'd attempt London's transport system on my own, the first being back in April of the same year. It was basically taking advantage of the fact that the Olympics/Paralympics meant that there was no tube closures whatsoever. Anyway, I left Lowestoft with my family at...

I was wondering if any of you on here have had this; where you really like a band or musician, but over a few months you just go right off them. It's happened three times to me, with the Lostprophets, Muse, and The Verve. I was a massive Lostprophets fan in the autumn of 2011, but during the...

What actually is this line used for, as it has no passenger services whatsoever and still has semaphore signalling?

Looking for photos of Anglia Railways Class 150s on Flickr, I stumbled across this, which is 150229 sitting at London Liverpool Street. Which I found especially unusual. Which made me wonder, apart from Silverlink's 150s on the GOBLIN and SWT's 158/159s, have any other Sprinters been used on...

I've noticed several photos of these DMUs over the last few years with a prominant 'body sag' in the centre of the carriage. Now I wonder, what has actually caused this to happen, and how long can these units feasibly run before they'll have to be withdrawn for fear of severe body failure?
