There has been much discussion on the Broadway Station Blog about the design for the new station building- should it be GWR style or another design. The man who was in charge of the Broadway group rebuilding has just resigned over this, see: http://broadwaygwsr.blogspot.co.uk/ Any...

Which line if you could choose to be extended, which one would it be and why?

I have been reading about the Mid Hants Railway and know the line goes from Alton to New Alresford. Does anyone know if there are any plans to extend the line further? I have also been looking at Google maps and can see that most of the trackbed is still intact. Someone mentioned that they...

Just been to my local newsagent. For sale they had the model railway magazine that includes a free loco. Can't remember the magazine name. But I did notice an error. The loco was 45022 in blue. But the black stand it was on had printed on it "class 46, 46022" !!! Don't they check these things...

Hi, Does anyone know how I would go about wiring up blue flashing roof lights and headlights on '00' gauge emergency vehicles? Thanks

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread. Anyway. Trimley station building is in desperate need of repair. There is a trust that has been set up to raise funds for the repair and refurbishment of the buildings. Their website is- www.trimleystation.org Does anyone know the history...

Just curious and hoping someone will know the answer to this. Supposing that a train broke down on a foot crossing or a road and was blocking it ice preventing people from crossing it. What would the deal be if it were a public right of way? Would the TOC be fined/prosecuted for obstruction...

Anyone know anymore? Heard a rumour there was a strike happening.

Went past this location a couple of weeks ago. They have bridge decks painted in blue, in a car park of one of the industrial units 'ready to go'. They have done quite a bit since I last saw it. Will it be double track or single track (like the triangle at Manningtree)? Anyone know anymore...

Hi. Your help please. I have some locomotives that I would like to add front and back directional lights in, that change with the direction the loco is moving in. I have a '00' gauge layout, which is analogue and not DCC. The locos I have are classes- 37, 47, 57, 56, 60, 66. Which lights...

This is a very interesting blog about the GWSR team at Broadway rebuilding Broadway station. http://broadwaygwsr.blogspot.co.uk/ In their latest blog, however in the comment section it seems that someone has objected to the palnning application saying that where the station is being...

I went on the Mid Norfolk Railway on Wednesday. What an enjoyable trip it was. I can't wait for it to be extended Northwards towards County School and North Elmham (and even beyond if possible!?). The only thing I could see fault with was the location of Wymondham Abbey platform. The run...

Firstly I would like to congratulate the Bluebell Railway for reaching East Grinstead. Well done! I visited this station on Wednesday to have a look around . We parked in the Sainsbury's car park (we were going shopping). But had trouble crossing the road to get to the station. There was no...

Hi all. Would a ticket to 'Heathrow Rail' be permitted to use on Heathrow Express & Heathrow Connect?

Hi all, Got a bit of a confusing one here. Is Vauxhall classed as a London Terminus, even though it isn't? A couple of months back doing a ticket to this destination, it would be printed on the ticket as Vauxhall. Now when the ticket is printed it comes out with London Terminals on it...

Derailment at Trowse, just outside Norwich Thorpe station! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22925915

This may have been done before. I'm just asking do Railway Byelaws have to be advertised on stations. If someone were to contest a breach of a Railway Byelaw as that they didn't know/ they aren't advertised. How are they meant to know? Your help in this matter would be greatefully appreciated...

Not sure if this has been posted before now. I have been looking through the fares system and I have a question in regard to the following: Just an example: Witham to Cambridge via Ipswich (00062) Off-Peak Return (SVR) is normally £28.70. Applying Network Railcard discount this brings it...

I have an old Hornby Dublo train set I wish to get rid of. I also have other stuff to sell. Which is the best place to do this? Ebay? Auctions? Model Shops? Thanks.

Has anyone seen any passengers travelling on a train with unusual objects, for example fish tanks or large surfboards. Has anyone charged them the appropriate fare for these items as per the National Rail Conditions of Carriage. Anyone been refused travel with such items? Thanks
