Quick question to any London Midland/TPE train crew but do the Class 350 Desiros have passenger saloon door controls? I have been told they don't but I vaguely remember seeing them on a unit a few years ago and assumed since the first batch were built to SWTs specs those units at least would...

I caught sight of Ian Hislop this morning with a camera crew at Waterloo, while he is better known for his political satire he has done the odd railway documentry in the past. Does anyone know what could possible be in the pipeline? :)

I found this video on youtube this morning, does anyone know much more about it? It appears the driver has had permission to pass the signal at danger (hence the long whistle) but the signaller had forgotten to set the trap points correctly. I can't say by watching the video if the train crew...

A quick question for you routing guide buffs.. Is a one day travelcard from maidenhead routed any permitted valid via Windsor & Eton Central/Riverside and then on to Waterloo? Just came across a passenger today asking this question and I was unfortunately unable to give him an answer...

I Just saw NR's newly named 57312 with a LM 'Desiro' 350120 in tow on the 5O57, appears to be on it's way to Northam depot from Northampton. Caught me by suprise this afternoon so I did'nt really get the chance of a photo, I was unaware LM sent units to Northam for maintenance, I assumed Siemens...

I'm currently in the process of constructing a BR Class 205 2H from a DC Kits model. The plan is to have it finished in an early 1960s condition, however I'm trying figure out what shade of green did the southern paint its MUs in. Railmatch do a 'Multiple unit green' and a 'BR Coaching stock...
