Video showing and explaining the new North Clyde Service Delivery Centre.

I just came across this YouTube channel of a young man who purchased the former Pomathorn stationmasters house near Penicuik at an auction and is documenting his journey in renovating it into his first home. As it's somewhat railway related, I thought some folk here might be interested in his...

I just posted a link for the Challenge Anneka episode when she was challenged to restore and reopen Northiam station here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/challenge-anneka-kent-railway-restoration.303397/ I was curious if there any folk here on the forum that were involved in the...

This is a blast from the past. If anybody was around during the 1980s and 1990s, Anneka Rice was one of the most well known TV personalities of that time. She had a TV show called Challenge Anneka where she was "challenged" to complete tasks by a deadline. Anneka using a mobile phone about 10...

There are so many GBR threads, I wasn't sure which one to post this in (if any). Mods please move it to the appropriate thread if there is one. I was wondering if GBR have registered an official domain for their website? Due to privacy concerns, doing a WHOIS on Internet domains doesn't yield...

It'll be interesting to see if Transport Scotland is abolished, what replaces it and if that will be a good or bad thing for the railways (and transport in general) in Scotland. A friend of mine who was working on a transport project at the time when TS had just been created, said for a...

While it's now nearly 11 years on since the Borders Railway opened, I only realised that the line was this old from this Network Rail press release published yesterday, bringing the 10th anniversary celebrations to an end. It would be interesting to know the thoughts, especially those who use...

These sheep probably do more good for the railways than some politicians do. :lol: Ewe won’t believe it! Sheep on track to transform Perth green space https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/ewe-wont-believe-it-sheep-on-track-to-transform-perth-green-space

Seems like a bit of a waste of money. No doubt it's technically feasible, but would no doubt cost a fortune to implement! https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/26141493.scottish-government-will-fund-edinburgh-south-sub-feasibility-study/ Scottish Government will fund Edinburgh South Sub...

Also Euston services won't start until 2040, or potentially 2043! o_O https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz6e0vplgldt

Forgive me if there is an existing thread that this post should be posted in, but there are so many GBR threads I wasn't sure which one to put post it in! No mention about branding, but I understand the ScotRail is keeping its livery. I do wonder if they'll slap on the Double Arrow logo...

No details about how this rail link would like. With this announcement, you'd almost thing there was an upcoming election. :lol: https://news.stv.tv/west-central/scottish-labour-would-build-glasgow-airport-rail-link

I thought folk might be interested to know that the Royal Mail are releasing some Hornby Model Railways commemorative stamps collection on 19th Feb. Although you can pre-order now. https://shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-issues/hornby-model-railways

That would be quite something if it does happen. I always thought Glasgow Central would remain Scotland's top dog. Waverley set to overtake Glasgow Central for first time in 150 years...

Could relocating Haymarket TMD to another location have any net benefits and if so, where could a possible location be? My first thought would be, if it were to move, to relocate it to the former Portobello Freight Terminal.

The Cllr says “I don’t think it is a speculative idea." - based on what evidence? https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/25668030.fresh-call-get-idea-reopening-train-link-back-track/ Fresh call to get idea of reopening Scottish train link back on track

Given Loganair are canning the Edinburgh-Cardiff flight in January. Is there enough demand to justify another service alongside the existing single CrossCountry service? The article reads like a regurgitated press release. New Edinburgh to Cardiff route could come into service in 2029 if...

Would this be a realistic possibility or pie in the sky? Ambitious plan to resurrect train station in Scottish town tabled https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/25597120.ambitious-plan-resurrect-train-station-scottish-town-tabled/

While I'm not suggesting that this upgrade work isn't necessary, at first glance it does seem to be quite a large amount of money to be spending on a station that handles under 6,000 passengers a year. However it does seem like this will have a net positive benefit on the Far North Line as a...
