Today's Doctor Syn railtour at Grain and Tonbridge.

Interesting thanks for sharing. Do you have a link to the spreadsheet ? Is it a freedom of information? I know line speeds are part of the sectional appendix but a spreadsheet would be easier to read

2Q11 running tonight via Southampton. https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train/?c=71993&d=24/10/2021 Not sure why I thought 153s didn't run to SOTON due to the tight curve at northam junction? So are these units replacing DR98008?

Has anyone heard any updates on freight reinstatement of the quarry? I haven't been checking here recently but I thought I did see some talk a few months ago albeit speculation. Obviously a while to go before it does happen I assume the track needs replacing to meldon as well as fitting of the...

Must be a common problem . Locomotives from Hornby with a working fan, making a loud unattractive squeeling noise. Video from my 50 if anyone can hear it https://youtube.com/shorts/ImEVQdePzkU?feature=share Does anyone have a fix? As bad as it sounds, I have put oil on the two gold pulleys...

No problem, the source of my gen was someone quoting 'branch line news' however I haven't read it myself

Im hearing rumours the 769s are now ready to enter service on reading to Gatwick, can anyone confirm ? Possibly entry on Monday?

A freightliner green train has come off the rails near Sidcup. Maybe 6Y83 Sidcup to hoo junction ? https://twitter.com/NetworkRailSE/status/1437334942262960128?s=19

Anyone got any pics of this wax person?

Someone has told me you can't have two locomotives tailing on a train, with the exception of class 20 and 73 In the scenario of the 69s arriving at Paddington on the tour, they were removed from the train at Paddington, a 66 brought the train out, and the 69s followed behind. You'd think that...

Portslade station level crossing. Local businesses are in close proximity to the crossing, so is a subway under the level crossing itself, and the road is very busy. I guess it would be possible to build one but it's unlikely to ever happen

69001 failed at somerhill tunnel today with its first loaded run. Good thing it had a 66 to support.

Some of the 313 stop positions at brighton aren't particularly high, but sometimes quite a big gap, I'm not joking it's a real leap

Gatwick airport is served by Thameslink, Southern , Gatwick Express, GWR

47828 at Lewes.

Enjoy it. Hoping 828 is leading to EBN 1628952439 My video here. Nice sunny day for it

With Brighton and Hove buses the 12X is limited stop, although in my opinion the time it gains by missing out stops, the driver tends to have a break of about 5-10 minutes half way! It could just be that he/she is running early due to no stops though. I think X is intentionally used as eXpress...

I can't think of any passenger services that terminate / start at Preston park myself either. Although I don't go there much now since moving away a few years ago But you're right that trains do reverse at Preston park for the depot, this usually is services from the west coastway. I often see...

Heard a class 37 test train leaving Brighton once. Heard it from Preston park, so a few miles away. I can hear horns over in hollingbury some times, a good 3 4 miles away

66109 came south as Newhaven today as it works 6O13 to Newhaven marine.
