    Why are Class 488s given a Class number on TOPS?

    It doesn't make sense, as everything else assigned one has the ability to move on its own, but yet these Mk2s received Class 488. Why? :|

    Railway Fonts

    Hello, I sometimes find myself wondering what fonts are used on the railways. I am particularly interested in a free font that mimics the EMT Class 158's destination display. If you have any idea where I could find such a thing, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks. :D

    Class 43 with police tape.

    Spotted a GWR HST set parked up in Exeter New Yard, with police tape on the cab door of the North-facing power car. Anyone in the know of what happened? Checking the carriage labels, it seems to be the late-night terminator from Paddington.

    Class 395 with First Class?

    I was looking at RealTime Trains for Faversham today, and I came across this peculiar Class 395 working that states itself as having First Class seating. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/W47126/2016/04/01/advanced I thought these units weren't given First Class because Southeastern...

    The Class 165 and Class 166s are moving down to St Philips Marsh once cascaded from the Thames Valley, and this means the Class 150/2s and Class 158s move to Exeter T.M.D. Will the Turbos ever end up on services to Devon and Cornwall, on runs to and from Cardiff or Bristol? Currently this...
