I've been trying to see if such a thing is possible. Just using second generation DMUs. My ideal is the whole journey to be completed using only 15X classes. 14X no longer in use. 165/166 I would class as second generation. I'm not sure if 170s are classed as such. I don't count them as being...

Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Not sure which sub thread to use. I've been following the whereabouts of 158706 since January using RTT. As the data on RTT only goes back one week, I write up what services she works so I have an overview of 2021 for 706. She was on the Far North...

Hi, I have this shot of a Merseytravel bus stop from 1989. I'm trying to find the location of stop. Is C1 the zone that the stop is located and if so was that the same area as the present day C1? Only able to upload the close up of the sign at the moment. Thanks, Bodie

Hello, I have these screenshots of a Class 47 reflected in an Intercity carriage at Liverpool Lime Street. They are from the ITV sitcom Watching and would they would date to late 1987. October to December. Might be January 1988. They are from series 2 which began in February 1988. Though are...

Hi, I've tried aviation forums but have had no replies. I know Railforums is primarily for well rail related transport but I know how excellent it is and there is usually someone out there with the knowledge to help. I wonder if you can help me in discovering the destination from one of a...

Hi, Apologies if not placed post in right sub forum. There is a particular Class 142 that is currently in warm storage at Newton Heath. In all probabilities she will end up under the cutter's torch. Much as i'd like to save her, that would be far, far too much cost. If I find out when the time...

Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section. I am currently trying to amass as many as photographs as possible of Kyle of Lochalsh station\yard\depot prior to the introduction of DMU'S. I did need help with the ID of a photograph I came across...

Travelling yesterday on Scotrail's 158706, I heard a noise inside the carriage. A noise which was near constant. Every five seconds approximately. It sounded like something venting. A 'tsssh' sound. I moved to the next carriage as the noise was bugging me and thankfully found that carriage...

Going to Poland in March. I will be staying in Warsaw. I wish to see some other Polish cities and as a bonus experience some Polish railways. Krakow is a definite, possibly Gdansk or Wroclaw. Using the PKP website I see a EIP service to Krakow is 79PLN (about £16) each way. I don't mind...

At the end of the month I am going on a day trip to the West Midlands on a West Midlands Day Ranger. It will a weekday. One of my main targets is to see my remaining LM 153's for sight. I need 50% - four of eight. I will definitely be doing Coventry to Nuneaton. That is just one runaway...

The other night I was travelling on the up sleeper to London. Whilst stopped at Perth my carriage was opposite an electronic sign which scrolled with the message 'Wash - Ready'. 158740 and 158741 were not far from it. Then they set off and after they had passed the sign it now read...

Hello, This a longish shot but here goes. Did I by any chance see one you folk from here tonight changing between HST's at Newport? The time was 1810. A man got off just before me as we alighted from 1B55 Paddington to Swansea in the hands of 43142 and 43018 and he jumped straight on...

Hello, Off tomorrow to the Isle of Wight for the first time. Will be riding the island line. I notice from pictures that there is no number (ie 483001) on the front. Can't make out any on the side of the cabs either. Where can I find this?, so I can know which 483 I am seeing. I can make out...

Hi, The diagrams for Northern's 37 operated services has disappeared from the frequently requested diagrams thread. This was around the time of the timetable change earlier this month. Is it still around somewhere and is there any change in the new timetable? Is it still even running...

I may have been missing something but did anyone else see David Cameron's reply at PMQ's to one Caroline Flint's question about the need for UK steel? His answer started by mentioning 'organisations' that they, the government had been dealing with to get I assume orders for UK steel. One...

I have read that three class 90's are on hire to Serco to work the sleeper for the time being, in place of the 92's. I am happy about this as I've seen a photo of one of these 90's on the sleeper and it was 90042. My last 90 for sight. I'll be in London over the weekend and am thinking of...

Popping into the adjacent supermarket today, I chanced upon this sight. 08523 coupled to a sleeper carriage. There we two men around the shunter at the time of the photo. Just before there were at least eight. That's what drew my attention. The line is one leading into the shed. Worried at...

There is a blue shunter at Crewe, that I was unable to see any number on. Anyone know the identity? Thanks
