Evening all... I wonder if you guys can help me. I'm currently a Conductor with Southern. I'm looking at relocating to the west country or north (yorkshire). I'd like to remain in the Railways, mainly as a guard. But i feel that having my current address as a Brighton one would discard me from...

Morning all, just wondering what routes Farnham Depot SWT sign, besides the line through Farnham :) Cheers.

Hi, basically I came back, after a while, to play some OpenBVE. Last time I played it it ran fine but now it freezes randomly and then skips slightly. Any thoughts? Cheers.

Hi, just a quick question, does a Guard based at Bristol do a mix of Commuter and Intercity workings? Cheers.

Hi all, new here, basically i've got a dilemma as to whether to go to University to my deffered place or continue in my job. Currently I work for Southern Railway as a conductor which pays quite well for what it is, plus there is the prospect of progression within the company, even a driver...

Not sure if this is in the right section... But anyway, as you probbably know, the Brighton Belle trust want to get the train running by the olympics next year; if the train is completed by then who will operate it? I'd guess it would be people from the the group but is it completely mad to...

Hi, today on the way to work I saw a fully refurbished 313 (313206) managed to glimpse inside from my train, could see some high backed seats, and the train is fully covered with "Coastway" branding :) Would be good to see in side, shame I don't think it is coming inot service soon :(

Hi, I'm looking to build Melton Mowbray as a model railway and i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the track layout, the OS map shows a couple of sidings next to the station, which i would presume are for trains to reverse onto the Old Dalby test track. Here is the OS map...

Hi, does anyone know where i can find the gradient profile for the Marshlink line, it seems reasonably flat(ish)? Also any signalling diagrams would be useful :) Cheers

I was talking to Andy, who works for Southern, earlier and he informed me that progress is very slow for the 313 modifications as it appears that each unit is wired up differently to the other, meaning almost non of the units match the diagrams :D I wouldn't be suprised :)

Apparently there are some shots (pre-production) showing really detailed interiors, including luggage racks. Anyone know where these pics are?

I saw at Brighton stations the HUGE queue for getting bikes on to trains. It wasn't as bad when there were guard sections but now in a 12car train you can only get 12 (4x 3 car) or 9 (3x 4 car), it just is not enough. Southern have a few Class 460s with the large baggage section at one end, why...

Hi, i'm trying to build the Cotswold Line (Oxford to Worcester) for RailWorks and do any of you lot out there know where i can get the gradient profiles; it looks a fairly flat route (from OS maps). Also if there is a Cab View video of the line anywhere so i can see where the signals are. Thanks.
