I would assume so. And if all criteria are met and there is no reason to assume that the vehicle itself may be at fault, then there is no reason to issue a total recall. What happened in Oss is a tragedy, and a thorough investigation to learn and to prevent reoccurrence is necessary. But at...

I agree with you that a full investigation has to take place. However, imposing an outright ban after 1 accident without knowing what caused it, feels premature to me. Not only have the actions of the Dutch state caused a company to go bankrupt (before any blame was established) they've also...

Almost universal. It won't get very far under the Tyne & Wear Metro's 1500 V DC OLE. ;)

The DB Navigator app on my phone gave me the € 30,50 NRW ticket. If Bahn.de doesn't show it, that's weird.

I'm assuming it's a mistranslation or misunderstood. The founder of Stintum was as devastated as everyone else. The Stintum company refused to issue a recall as the reason for the accident was (and still is) very much unclear, they felt like the government were looking for a scapegoat and did...

I've just had a look in the Deutsche Bahn app, planning a journey next week, and I get prices ranging from € 19,90 (ICE+Eurobahn) to € 30,50 (NRW Tariff). If you're booking for March you're likely to be too early as the booking window hasn't opened yet.

Stintum, the manufacturer of the Stint vehicle, has filed for bankruptcy. According to their MD it's simply no longer possible to keep the business running.

Doesn't the GWR livery have a tiny "A FirstGroup Company" somewhere on each vehicle?

It looks like things are on the move again, two trains which have been standing at Ealing Broadway for quite some time are now moving towards London.

Given that it was only a few days ago when it took 3 hours to evacuate a train which was very close to Victoria, I can understand that passengers aren't feeling very confident in the rail industry's ability to look after them when things go wrong (not saying that I approve of that).

Exactly. It's just a convenience thing.

Send the StanEx trains to GWR, then send the dual-voltage GWR 387's to GTR?

One of the things which holds me back from buying OnePlus again is the lack of wireless charging (Qi). Now that Samsung have adopted wireless charging and even Apple have it in their latest iPhones, there's no reason why OnePlus phones shouldn't have it. My first phone to feature Qi was the...

There are no 12 car 345s, they only exist as 7 coach fixed formations and 9 coach fixed formations. The 7 coach ones will be lengthened to 9 coaches after infrastructure upgrades on the Anglian side are completed.

My previous phone for daily use was a OnePlus 3T and I am really pleased with that. It packs a punch for a reasonable price. Nowadays I use a Samsung Galaxy S8 (issued by my employer), and while I was skeptical about it at first I've grown to really like the device. There's little bloatware on...

That is exactly what has been done. :) The man who flipped the piano had been taken into custody, he's since been released and is due to appear in front of a judge at a later date.

Maybe not Ashford itself, but the station could serve as a gateway to Kent.

Except for Snap :)

Thanks all, a drag makes perfect sense in such conditions :)
