https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6pvvzw89ldo Another service facing the axe, with the likes of other services over the past 3 years or so (SWR Bristol services, EMR token service to Leeds and GWR workings to/from Brighton). I remember the days when Virgin Trains used to run twice daily...

Anyone here remember the GWR Summer Saturday London Paddington- Pembroke Dock services? Nothing said that it has been cut as such but it would be good if someone could shed some light on the service... Cheers

Hey Everyone It's been a really long time since I last posted on RailUK Forums so bear with me... I'm planning a trip to Ireland next week with accommodation etc all booked. I'll be using my FIP Card whilst I'm in the country as I didn't order the coupons. As I will be travelling from...

Morning, I am going to Amsterdam later this month and I am going to use my FIP/PRIV passes. I've never used a FIP card before and from what I gather, I can get a coupon for the ship between Harwich and Hoek Van Holland. How does this work? Do I present the coupon at the ferry ports? I...

Whenever I use the Wimbledon Loop, it has always been on a 319 and no other stock e.g 377s. Why do Thameslink allocate the 319s on the commuter and Wimbledon Loop services rather than using 377s,387s? I know eventually the 700s will take over.

Didn't really know where to put this but anyway: The GN 313s have Finsbury Park on their destination blinds right? If they do, how can they turn back at Finsbury Park fron the Northern City Line (NCL) since there is no bi-directionally signaled platform line there, enabling trains to go back...

I noticed that mainly 317s, 315s and 379s are the only trains that use the West Anglia Line. Is there a reason for this? I would of thought 360s and 321s would have as well and why don't 317s or 379s ever go on the GEML?

I'm quite curious about the NCL especially the tunnels being unique. I was wondering other than class 313s using the NCL, has any other BR stock gone into the tunnels? This MUST NOT be confused with the Widened Lines or LUL stock. Also somebody told me that when the ECML was already...

Hello, Does anybody have a list of the running numbers for the class 303 EMU with carriage numbers etc...? I just got on Train Simulator the class 303 and would like to be realistic and drive the trains with the real running numbers. Cheers.

I have written to Ilford depot regarding a work experience request giving my contact details. Please tell me if I'm on the wrong side of the tracks if you know what I mean about the forum rules. Anyway, I would be very grateful if anyone has a contact number for Ilford train depot for...

I hear that the RMT union are staging a demonstration in Westminster on Wednesday 18th May and I would like to support them. I know it starts at 08:30 but I have to do things in the morning up until 11:00. Will it be on all day?

When LM gave Southern a class 350 to run on their WLL services, did the run DOO/OPO between Clapham Junction and East Croydon since that section is DOO equipped? Also is there an agreement with LM to operate 350s if the 377s are down?

I was reading the EMU guide book 1999 by Platform 5 and it said that the class 357 are wired for the 750V DC 3rd rail. Is this true?

Mod edit: The forum team are aware that the extension of Driver-Only Operation (DOO) is a highly passionate topic. As such, in this thread only, we are now trialling allowing free debate on the subject. Please be advised that, due to the anticipated pace of discussion and the understandable...

I was at Highbury & Islington GN platforms and I noticed a map that seemed like it had a station closed sign on the back like found on LUL stations. I don't know if it was but do GN services running into Moorgate have to pass starting signals at 5MPH or what is the procedure for closed...

Does anybody have contacts for Selhurst and Hornsey Depots? I applied for work experience a while ago and have since had no reply. If anyone has, please let me know. Thank you.

Just wondered what will replace the class 313? They are the only trains allowed to go into Moorgate from Finsbury Park and the trains will be 40 years old this year. I think they need replacing soon. I wonder if class 378 are clear for running in tube size tunnels idealy for Moorgate...

When OPO/DOO was implemented on the Chiltern, Thames Valley and Great Northern Electrics, were there any strikes/complaints from the unions? Obviously the unions were up in arms about LOROL going OPO/DOO and now with Nothern and GWR. Also, when were the last trains on those lines mentioned...

I got the Video 125 DEV Eurostar into Waterloo and it made me think of several things: Southleet Junction to Fawkham junction: How often is it used now since the lines redundancy? Vauxhall/Wandworth flyover: will it ever be used again? The class 373: since the transfer of services into...

When the new Hitachi trains arrive on the ECML for Virgin EC, will they have a proper safety critical guard? Unlike GWR who are getting rid of the guards all in all. If VT are getting rid of the safety critical guards, will they use ticket salesmen instead?
