Ultimately if you get off on posting videos of dangerous driving etc there's a fair argument that you're beyond saving anyway. In my town there is a big problem with balaclava'd teenagers stealing motorbikes, riding them dangerously around town and filming the whole process for social media...

Depends what you call home. Salisbury has been the shortest time period it's been allocated to a depot. I think it spent about 15 years allocated to Heaton, 9 years at Salisbury and 11 years at Eastcroft.

That finished with the end of the South West Trains franchise in 2017 or so, the lease formally transferred to EMT then.

It's been proposed internally as an option for the unit for a while. Was confirmed as likely to be departing the other week. Annoying really, actually having some luggage space is quite helpful.

It is.

Rather confusing as to how it can happen really. It appears they were evacuated from their control office yesterday afternoon which has lost power and they can't access the majority of their IT to even send out disruption messages or updates. Seems the only trains they are running are the...

Some of them are booked to call depending on pathing requirements, but not all.

Isn't it the National Rail Awards?

There is a feral population who think they run the show in this country who have no respect for the rule of law or societal norms. They need nipping in the bud by any means necessary.

The staffing issue has had a resolution for ages. It's just not been used.

The 222 has a kitchen that is nearly as capable as a HST, it was designed to be able to cook proper hot meals. The 810 unfortunately Is nowhere near as highly specified. However Midland Mainline's model was a full service with dining sold at a large premium to business customers, in both...

The tapas one is the best. Actual half decent cured meats and stuff.

810011 letting the side down this morning, failed at St Pancras with a key stuck in a cab door.

Indeed - the 170/1s were originally different but were modified around 2013 to the same SDO system as the /3, /5 and /6 fleet. Before that you had to be careful on certain diagrams as they couldn't serve short platforms.

It relies on New Street crews which seems to have more staffing difficulties.

It's going empty from Nottingham to Etches Park as 5Z06. Perhaps the crew needed to be in Nottingham or similar for their next workings and a spare driver is being sent over from Derby to take it to Etches Park?

You'd have thought so yet it's allowed to happen. Happily at Havenhouse there's basically no one to inconvenience as there's no regular (or indeed irregular) passengers, unlike Whittlesea.

222103 staying true to form, total failure stopping the job on the main lines at Dore on 1F03.

Yes, albeit a different level of inconvenience in terms of passenger numbers.

It didn't actually call, a not to stop order was issued.
