    Tier 4 Eurostar Question

    Thanks, I have found their website has been updated very frequently actually, there have been updates on both the 19th and 20th! With regard to the ferries it seems like it may be my only bet, but being a foot passenger could be a problem. I do have a car but no insurance to drive abroad, so...

    DMU Fuel Economy - Sense Check

    If you want to be very accurate you should then multiply your final answers by 1.xx to simulate real life loadings and weather conditions. I wouldnt have a clue about what .xx would realistically be though, I'd guess .05-10 on average. Also as car lengths increases units should become more fuel...

    Trivia: Stations on our railway network which are closed but the platforms still exist.

    Two more from me that I havent seen in the last 7 pages: Thame (London-side of Haddenham and Thame Pway station) and Greenford (platforms on the ANL)

    Gare du Nord to Montparnasse tomorrow lunchtime.

    If it helps I did this journey about 1 week ago, and will be doing the reverse in early August. I can tell you that from what i have seen the RER is less busy then usual but still reasonably well patronised. Line 4 is the most simple way to get between the two stations; if timed right can be...

    Incident at Chalfont & Latimer (21/06/20)

    I realise it should actually be north/southbound but 1 towards amersham, 2 towards bakers street, 3 bay? (Assuming platforms are numbered 1,2,3 and not 2,1,3)

    Incident at Chalfont & Latimer (21/06/20)

    I was more referring to the fact that if it had taken the crossover from southbound to northbound at linespeed i would have imagined the train turning horizontal to the platforms, crashing into both the s8 and ending up on the platform due to the force of the impact. Could have been very messy.

    Incident at Chalfont & Latimer (21/06/20)

    Thankfully it had slowed sufficiently to take that last set of points, otherwise we might have had a scenario where the 165 ended up on the platform.

    Incident at Chalfont & Latimer (21/06/20)

    That is the assumption i made as a s8 cant fit in the bay platform, and therefore the only reasonable assumption

    Incident at Chalfont & Latimer (21/06/20)

    I have no idea what happened here but several worrying things about this: A: I wonder what speed the crossover was taken in order for the 165 to come to a rest so close to the S8 B: was the move signalled C: why were the points set to cross the 165 from the down to the up with another train...
