Interesting, I suspect the lack of roof paint is due to the OHLE still being energised and access being unsafe.

153384 is VIU6, its not proposed to be a direct replacement for the TRU. The 153s are handled by NR region - one 153 for each plus a spare. 153381 is currently being refurbished into VIU5

The 4th of September is the last date of use with: 2208 Reading Triangle Sidings to Derby R.T.C. (via Aylesbury, Princes Risborough & Oxford) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U01120/2026-09-04/detailed Following on from this, it will be replaced later in the year by a purpose...

The TSC (59980001) is Varamis though as referenced in many ORR documents like this. I suspect any mention of Orion is an error by Rail-Record.

I suspect its more likely the 325s were purchased with the intention of use if Royal Mail U-turned on Mail-by-rail. The paths are probably confirmation of some type of U-turn for Christmas traffic. Just for balance, I note that the paths are timed as Unadvertised Express not Parcels.

Looks like DB is looking to cut DB Cargo UK. https://news.sky.com/story/rail-freight-giant-db-cargo-shunts-uk-operation-into-sale-process-13573979

Many thanks. Assuming 50% are useable with spares stripped from others - it begs the question, where is their work?

Thanks Dan, I doubt 60082 will make it out of Crewe in one piece! What location is SANDAR BS? its probably Toton but I've never seen this referenced

That is not the point. The livery is of an operator which does not exist, operates no trains, has no staff and cannot be searched for online. Rebranding at scale is the wrong option when C2C and Greater Anglia are still the fronts to the public. C2C is especially odd since it now has three...

I find the decision to brand these solely as the 'incoming operator' strange as the GBR company - legally - does not exist yet.

I would treat any and all GBR liveries as media specials and not yet refined. We have seen this many times whether it was with SWR's initial 444040 and 450111 liveries or West Midlands train's 172339 livery. The finally livery will be a refinement of all this and hopefully will also take into...

Does anyone know what unit operated 5H50 0635 Worcester Hereford Sidings 5-7 to Tyseley L.M.D. on 08/07/2026?

The article on the BBC mentions the RMT

Thank you!

Evening All, Would anyone be able to help with the railway names of the locations detailed below. I've added my assumptions, feel free to correct: Dublin Connelly Carriage Sidings? - https://what3words.com/twigs.trim.copy Dublin Connelly Depot Carriage Wash? Loop? -...

Back on topic for a moment, is 1S97 expected to be consistent as a 10 car now then?

100% of the 803s used on one day? Maybe more should have been ordered!

Condolences to all those affected including the driver and those travelling. I hope we can work together to learn from the lessons this incident provides.

This is true, although CIRAS is part of the RSSB. The ORR are responsible for the Interoperability of the railway, authorisation and safety legislation, they ultimately supervise the RSSB. I wouldn't discount either of the public bodies, concerns will end up in the same place eventually.

I completely agree with this, its an interoperability concern which the ORR should be very keen on given they are yet to provide authorisation for the units. @VR494, please use the below and provide as much information as you deem necessary. interoperability@orr.gov.uk
