If a train cancellation or fault occurs on the borders line, I’ve seen the offending unit run non stop as a class 5 ECS all the way back to Edinburgh on a few occasions. This obviously doesn’t happen very often. The intention is probably to keep passengers from lurking too close to the...

Sheffield is a third as the timings already show on RTT, but do any London Underground timings show anywhere at present? Can’t even find the locations of LU such as Epping Forest, unless I’m missing something.

Superb to see the vast majority of unit allocations available now, having more information available to customers can only benefit the TOCs. As well as London Overground not showing, Tyne and Wear metro aren’t as well.

Thanks for the reply.

IDs of locos on this would be appreciated please https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R13551/2025-09-18/detailed Locos return north on this https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R13550/2025-09-18/detailed Thanks!

The main attraction for me would be Darlington station itself, maybe Locomotion passes through at night once the last service passes?

Ah, ok, thanks. So viewing should be unrestricted at North Road or Heighington? Locomotion continues on towards Stockton the next day so must pass through Darlington station at some point?

Apologies if there is another thread, I couldn’t find a specific reference to the questions below. I see this anniversary recreation of the historic first run of 27/09/1825 is detailed here: https://www.locomotion.org.uk/whats-on/sdr200 There are official ticketed viewing points set up but...

I logged on at 1 minute to 7 when the link on the BLS site appeared, paid and got a confirmation. By 10 past 7 the tickets were sold out!

Iv I’ve just seen this at Carlisle station heading north as 6Z01, the generators in amongst the containers caught my eye as well. I didn’t notice if there was a loco on the rear as my train had just arrived. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:10284/2025-09-04/detailed#allox_id=0

Looks like 66307 is hauling 66316 to Doncaster on 0Z72, I’m at Rugeley so will confirm soon. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:09986/2025-09-03/detailed 1756905306 Confirmed 66316 passed 1410 hauled by 66307. 66316 is still grey but has large white numbers and GBRf logo...

That’s good to know, thanks. My son has bought a couple of Bachmann 37s recently, so they will need to be routed on to the outer circuit!

Looks superb. I have the Lima model of the same loco, only problem with that is the gap between bogies and body to stop the wheels fouling the body on tight curves. Lima (and Hornby afterwards with the same moulds) could have opted for smaller diameter wheels to fit under the body but that...

Much appreciated, will be good to see the ‘container grey’ 90 later today then!

Hi, the IDs of the Freightliner class 90s on this would be appreciated please: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R09898/2025-08-18/detailed

I’m very impressed! What scale is the finished product? Do you have any plans to share the printable files or are these for personal use only?

My son has been on eBay again, he purchased a Bachmann 66718 body only for around £50, he tells me the complete model is difficult to find. Then he bought another more common Bachmann GBRf low emission class 66 loco, which went into works for a body swap! I found the four screws obscured by...

This will probably be D6700, the prototype class 37 which is based at the NRM, AKA 37119 or 37350.

Had delays travelling on the 0652 Edinburgh- Crewe Pendolino on Tuesday. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W10455/2025-06-24/detailed#allox_id=0 Firstly, for some unknown reason the signaller let the 6K10 engineers train to Carlisle out right in front of us at Slateford! Our...

This working? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U56013/2025-06-25/detailed If so the locos are 66710 and 66719. I seem to remember a photo of 66710(?) on another thread showing it repainted in red, I commented at the time it could be hauling this train. Edit: found the link...
