Hi all, I will be going to London on 2nd September, and I intend to spend approximately half an hour at Shadwell DLR station photographing c2c units (between 17:00 and 17:30). Should I have any problems taking photographs for my own use at Shadwell? Also, if DLR have any photography...

Hi all, I've just found this train on RTT. Any ideas what it might be? Many thanks

On this thread, East Coast IEP has come up again. This has got me wandering what the long distance high speed services on the MML are going to get when it is electrified. The route isn't getting IEP at the moment, EMT nor DfT seem keen on Tilting trains and there is speculation that the route...

http://railpicturelibrary.zenfolio.com/blog/2013/4/fares-to-be-slashed-in-scotland-as-split-ticketing-inconsistencies-to-be-abolished Certainly the first time I've seen anything like this. If only the DfT/ATOC/ORR/TOCs or whoever is responsible for fares in England and Wales would take...

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up a train recognition website, and am looking for any ideas to make the site as user friendly as possible. What is it that forums users would want to see or expect of a train recognition website. Feel free to PM me or leave any comments or ideas below...

I am intending to make a journey tomorrow morning between Leicester and Tamworth, returning early afternoon. Would an off peak return between LEI and TAM be valid both via Nuneaton and via Derby? Thanks in advance. :D

I am intending to go to Nuneaton or Rugby for photography on Friday morning, but I am struggling to make a decision on which one to go to. From forum user's past experience, which of the 2 is better for photography? Is there anywhere between the 2 stations which is good for lineside...

Can anyone tell me whether the Class 91 traction motors are ac or dc? Thanks in advance.

I'm currently in Year 11 (aged 15), and my school is running a work experience scheme between the end of Year 11 and the start of Year 12. I was wondering whether any TOCs or Network Rail offer work experiance to school students aged 15 - 19. I am particularly interested to find out about...

Whilst consulting the Working Timetable for Cross Country diversions on 27th January, using Open Train Times, it occurred to me that an unusually high number of trains were timed for HST operation: of the 27 trains diverted from Burton, 12 of them were timed for HSTs, as opposed to Voyagers. Can...

On Loughborough station earlier today (14th January), I saw a Class 150/1 in a holding siding just north of Loughborough station, from which I assume it was to go into (or from) the Brush factory. I think it was a Great Western 150, but due to the heavy snow it was unclear what it was. Does...
