http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22814406 Virgin are to sue NR over the continued poor performance of the WCML and their seeming inability and unwillingness to do anything about it.

379 testing to begin shortly on WCML. Bombardier want to prove they can deliver a 110mph product. Siemens obviously already have theirs.

I'm taking a couple of days out soon to visit the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland (the WHR, not the WHHR)! Could anyone answer the following?: - What side is best to sit on to get the best views of Aberglaslyn? - Do the carriages have either droplights, some compartments, or are there...

http://guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/nov/25/long-term-rail-contracts-industry?cat=uk&type=article From the Guardian. Makes better business sense for my eyes but does not make for a better service. Also throws the route directorship and harmonisation out of the window between TOCs and NR in my opinion.

Wb64 is being stood down from 7th December to standby/charter use only. Last scheduled working is Friday 7th Dec 1843 to Crewe. Catch it while you can...

Could someone with access please tell me units (ex Norwich and ex Nottingham) on the 1437 off Piccadilly to Lime St please Eternally grateful on advance.
