    Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) - Suggestions and speculation

    Wouldn't 4bn be enough to even electrify the Calderdale line? That would lead to more faster and frequent trains to Bradford . You could even include ETCS in the package, am I right??

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    I looked at a cab-ride video of a journey between Huddersfield and Manchester Vic. Also looking at Google Earth, would there be provision for quad tracks between Huddersfield and Marston. From my view it could just about be done , but remodelling is needed. (From my limited Knowledge, correct...

    Hydroflex - testing

    The Hydroflex has so much potential and it is a great step for decarbonisation. But then you look at the class 769s and how long the delays with the engines took. How much more with the new hydrogen equipment. Doesn't look promising production wise

    The future of Leeds guided bus way

    The A64 York road Guided Busway I feel is highly underused. 4/14 bus routes even use the Busway. It's a weird situation, Bus companies are reluctant to acquire guided wheels due to expenses, but it's even more expensive for the council to scrap the guided Busway.

    Now EMR are confirmed as operators of Liverpool-Notts, what stock could be used?

    https://www.railjournal.com/fleet/wabtec-to-overhaul-40-class-158s-for-angel-trains/ Looks like 16 EMR Class 158s are going to be overhauled and refurbished. So I'm guessing these as well as the 170s would be their fleet for the route. Remember, the class 171s aren't likely to be released any...

    Could the Harrogate Line be split?

    Are BMUs possible on this route? Bombardier and Hitachi have stated that their battery units can reach 90-100 kilometres (50-62 miles). According to Wikipedia, the entire Harrogate line is 62 kilometres (39 miles). With wires at each end and Harrogate being in the middle, its possible for BMUs...

    My Ideas for 3rd Rail Expansion

    This may not exactly be 3rd rail expansion, but 3rd rail can be installed at stations with no OHLE. But for battery charging instead via a contact shoe. Northern raised this as a possibility at Windermere station.

    Northern Class 331: Construction/Introduction Updates

    That is still a possibility, with platform 0 at Leeds going to be completed from Dec 2020 - May 2021 But i do not know what the 331/1s would replace. 3 car 323s? That would lead to a surplus of 323s There should be more battery 331s really. (going of topic abit)

    Northern Class 331: Construction/Introduction Updates

    Can Leeds - Doncaster handle 2 X 3 car 331s?. Even that route seems to be very full at peak times but very empty during off peak hours.
