Currently on one of these services and it is absolutely rammed...

Just received message from wife. And it was a UK registered lorry...

We are travelling up to Wales on 29th April and NRE are showing trains running from London Euston but Avanti West Coast says London Euston is closed with no specific advice on alternative travel arrangements Can anyone help??

I note Southern are showing on their website as running an amended service on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Apart from the closure of Victoria (Southern) all weekend, what does an "amended" service mean? Is this a Sunday service, Saturday service or what kind of service?

Given that the withdrawal of Southern's 455s is happening, is there a firm date set for Southern's 313s considering they are slightly older?

Just heard 313.209+211 are working to Streatham Hill today, what's the purpose of this please?

Is this the start of resignalling work between Minster, Canterbury West and Ashford?

So yesterday I was at a station where a service train was inadvertently signalled into a platform that was occupied by a train. The driver took the train into the platform and realised that there wasn't enough room. All the passengers were told to alight from the first and second carriage. The...

So, I understand 377/'s, replaced Network operation on this line some time ago and interwork with 375's. With the rumours that these might transfer to Southern, what are the likely replacements? If Networkers return with possible reductions in capacity (e.g. 4 or 6 cars), this is going to be a...

I have read about the recent flashovers on Southern Class 313s and understand that the seriousness on unit 205 led to its withdrawal. Presume this is the first of the class to be withdrawn (from Southern) Any reason why 313s in particular are suffering from flashovers?

Heard that it had been involved in an incident about a week ago. Will it return to service or is this unlikely now?

My memory is hazy now but on a signalling diagram, what did a distant signal mean when half of it was painted black (towards the fishtail)? I can't find a decent picture, but an example would be a home and distant on the same post (e.g. Advanced Starter and ??) Was this a fixed distant?

3 questions really: When was the station layout simplified (post 1960)? How did signal EBZ39 interwork with Betteshanger's Distant (No. 1?) when it was converted to colour light?

As title from Construction Engineer https://www.constructionenquirer.com/2021/12/21/southern-rail-starts-hunt-for-3bn-signalling-and-track-partners/ Is this newsworthy and if so, what does this mean for much needed resignalling schemes such as along the South Coast?

https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/greater-anglia-live-updates-train-6312689 A train has smashed into a road vehicle at an Essex level crossing this morning. Greater Anglia train services have been blocked after the incident on the Clacton to London Liverpool Street line between Great...

Haven't seen a thread on this but Eversholt Rail and Gemini Rail Group announced on 18th November that 4 321's are to be converted to parcels use and introduced around February 2022...

On Monday I purchased an advance ticket online through Southeastern s Web site. I paid using debit card and got a booking reference. Today I went to the ticket office and the lady couldn't find a ticket. Nor could the TVM. She told me to travel and just show any RPI or authorised person my...

Thought I'd create this thread for people to post sightings and workings of the remaining 26 non-PRM Class 321's so that the last workings can be recorded. Their derogation expires on 31st December 2021 after which time, they will not be allowed in service. This means there are 7 weeks left to...

I've just ordered a CD from SRS but have the following queries whilst I'm waiting relating to the 1970s/1980s period I know CDB18 protected Willingdon Junction from the Polegate direction. What was it's counterpart from the Stone Cross/Pevensey direction and when was it replaced by a colour...

My wife and I are planning this journey on a weekday in November. We're travelling from London Euston. How much time should I allow for interchange at Crewe given the fact we're not the fittest and will have suitcases? Many thanks
