Bit of extra info. When the Reigate to London Southern service changed to an all day service (2008? winter timetable change), it went through to Charing X in off-peak times. Can't prove it, but remember as I was going to Reigate College at the time

Yes, im a regular M25 commuter. Tend to find Thursdays are the worst days now!

Boxing Day is always carnage on the motorways. It’s even worse if you don’t have the extra bank holidays / weekend like we have this year!

Platforms at Haywards Heath are numbered the wrong way round. All other through stations on the Brighton Line (I think) are numbered left to right looking north. Haywards Heath are numbered left to right looking south.

‘A’ reg sierra spotted yesterday on the M20, being loaded on a recovery truck!

Not as easy as it sounds. You’d need new flight & cabin crew to come from somewhere. Engineering support would also be required in AMS, so that would need either an engineer to fly with the aircraft or getting additional support from companies in AMS. Most importantly, you’d need an aircraft...

There have been developments of electric motors installed on the landing gear of 737 & A320 aircraft. Biggest issue I expect is the extra weight that had to be carried. Not a huge amount of info about, but the wiki page has some details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EGTS

After my final journey on the 455’s yesterday, a thought came to me. To the best of my knowledge, these are the last units in service (preservation aside) that use the ‘chugger chugger’ compressor (DH.25 I believe). I understand these compressors were also used on the slam door stock and...

RTT showing 2D15, 2D28, 2J29 and 2J36 as 455710 + 455873 as well (and I assume the rest of the days work)

Do you have these diagrams to hand? I’ve got a works Xmas drinks in London tomorrow and would like to try and intercept one at Clapham Junction. Would rather attempt to plan it than turning up and waiting!

Thanks for that. Thought it would've been a bit closer than that!

You haven’t played West Ham in the league yet (although you did beat us in the cup) We‘re always good for giving teams 3 points when they really need it. Mark 3rd January in your calendar!

No, the original tooling only produced this version (it is valenta powered though). Not sure if revised clusters and non-red doors co-existed. The R30343 is the latest tooling. Was in the Hornby black Friday sale for less than £200 recently. Can still be picked up and not too much more than...

There is also the earlier tool set from around 2010. My set very happily hauled 8 coaches. Its heavy and all wheel drive, so is a very capable performer. I've since upgraded to the new version as listed above. Hope this doesn't breach forum rules, but funnily enough my set is on ebay now if you...

Not helped by some pretty inept refereeing/VAR. Handball in the buildup, though apparently it was a legal handball though as it bounced off the player first. What wasn’t legal was 6ft4 Mavropanos almost getting his head kicked off by a very high foot. If he had gone down and rolled around on the...

We already do to a point. We currently have: 4GW to France 1GW to each Holland, Ireland and Belgium 1.4GW to each Norway and Denmark I expect there are more planned as well. New storage facilities are also planned/being built, so we are getting there.

The Wikipedia article states (great source, I know) that if an REP was operating alone, it was treated as a light locomotive and limited to 60mph. Is this actually correct? If so, why? Seems a bit bizarre to me.

That did it. Just odd that both my phone and iPad (both using different browsers) went down at the same time. Thank you

Not been able to access RMWeb since yesterday afternoon. Get the following message on a blank screen. Anyone else have this problem or is the issue at my end?

Or drop them off at the Shell petrol station just off the North Terminal roundabout. Only 2 minute walk from there
