I'm trying to find an article from (I think) Rail Engineer regarding the replacement of this bracket signal (77/82/71) on the approach to Hastings but can't find it now. Can anyone provide a link please?

Sorry for thread but on my way home, I went to wash my hands in the MSOL of a 377/5 and apart from yellow toilet door handles, I noticed there was no holder or sign for toilet paper. I had to look 2 - 3 times... Anyone who would have sat down would have been in for a bit of a shock... The...

What's up with this unit please. Appears to have been stopped for well over a week now. Is it undergoing some heavy exam/bogie overhaul at Lover's?

As per title really. I have an old BR Home Signal complete with spectacles in need of loving restoration. Time isn't my friend at the moment so looking for assistance if at all possible

Please could a signaller explain the raison d'etre of such signals. Are they worked from a box, or are they automatic. What aspects can they display?

Who remembers the phonecard public telephone at the vestibule end of the driving first?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but how will the Wickford bays be extended to take 5-car 720's? Certainly Platform 1 bay can just squeeze a 4-car '321 and Platform 4 seems to be no different. I know the station building has been demolished; will the down bay be extended prior to the new...

Is anyone able to help me with a signal diagram for Thorpe-le-Soken after resignalling in the 1980s? I remember the signal prefixes being "T" but am looking for the specific numbers Many thanks in advance

Any ideas? Passed at around 5.30 this evening near Junction 30 heading south. Wondered if it had come from the Clacton worksite?

On Friday early evening, I booked a ticket online from the SouthEastern website to travel first thing Saturday morning to visit somebody in a support bubble. Usually, when i buy advances, I am able to collect from one of their ticket machines the following day. Yesterday, I arrived early for my...

Are there any of these left on the former Southern Region? The only ones I personally remember were at Worthing and Barnham on the Bognor Regis branch which were removed years ago. I've just seen an old track diagram of Bognor Regis and there used to be one below the Down Home. Is this still in...

I hope I've posted this in the right section Last night, I was almost stranded in London after finishing work at 8pm. All the trains between Victoria and Ashford (via Maidstone) were cancelled along with other services towards the Kent Coast. I needed to get to Bearsted. I was advised to go...

I understand resignalling works were planned for Clacton station this year and the new signals to be commissioned any time now Can anyone who lives in the area/or is involved in the project clarify what the current situation is please. Are the searchlights still extant at the ends of P1/2 and...

I noticed new Alexander E40H Enviro 400s (20 plate and 70 plate HT's) on this route today and thought I read something about some of the 70 plate ones originally registered as 20 plate before entering service (maybe not on this particular route?). Can anyone add any substance?

I can't remember if there was an old thread detailing the signalling arrangements around Canterbury West in the 1960s and 1970s but can't find it. I am particularly interested in the signalling arrangements (and signals) between Canterbury West and Minster, how (and why) Sturry was downgraded...

Saw this today and although not actually confirmed, I thought it was newsworthy and worthy of debate. And... should Boris resign? https://www.businessinsider.com/dominic-cummings-father-in-law-boris-johnson-will-resign-february-2020-8?r=US&IR=T...
