    Wembley Yard

    This is more a question for those staff that have been there but does anyone know if there is road access to the Harlesden end of Wembley yard? Do you have to go through the royal mail complex or is it a case of parking up along pendolino way and walk the rest? I think I have to sort a train...

    Looking at the Ipswich rail cam diagrams as well as RTT today and GBRf services are displaying their correct train ID and not the scrambled ID you usually get. Is this a new thing and will Freightliner follow suit?
