It has been mentioned on multiple news sources that the Gatwick Express is being restored to 4tph from December, as is 4tph on the Hertford loop between Moorgate and Hertford North.

Southern: 06:05 Littlehampton to London Bridge 06:47 Eastbourne to London Bridge 07:02 Bognor Regis to London Bridge 07:03 Uckfield to London Bridge 17:03 London Bridge to Eastbourne 17:33 London Bridge to Littlehampton 18:03 London Bridge to Bognor Regis 05:47 Horsham to Victoria via Gatwick...

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/man-spotted-taking-sheep-on-train.289503 No doubt the forum will erupt in a torrent of hate towards me, but it would be much much better if the words "livestock and non-domestic" were removed from that rule, i.e. if all animals...

Given these units are effectively surplus to SWR's requirements, even if some of the withdrawn services do return in the future, and they are effectively "non standard" alongside the masses of 5-car 444s, 4-car 450s and 10-car 701s, could these units potentially go to another operator? Its must...

Honestly they should just make and run a timetable that they can pretty much guarantee won't have any cancellations. I would take a guess that they could just about run this: 1tph Euston to Manchester (MK, Stoke, Macclesfield, Stockport) 1tph Euston to Crewe (Watford Jct, MK, Rugby, Coventry...

Comparing the lines from Epsom to Windmill Bridge Junction (built by LBSCR, run now by Southern) and Raynes Park (built by LSWR, run now by SWR), which were built at a similar time, are very near each other, and are a similar length (Epsom to Windmill Bridge Junction is slightly longer), it is...

Would it be viable to extend platforms at a limited set of stations on the BML (Victoria, Clapham Junction, East Croydon, Gatwick Airport, Haywards Heath and Brighton) to allow 16 coach services to run along the line? My idea would allow a 16 coach fast Brighton service to run (which would...

Moderator note: Split from https://railforums.co.uk/threads/what%E2%80%99s-going-on-with-thameslink.235470/ Kings Cross to Peterborough is way too long a route to be part of Thameslink, so the Peterborough to Horsham service should be resplit to be Kings Cross to Peterborough and not directly...

At this point, they may as well introduce a further reduced emergency timetable since they simply cant run a half decent service. Given the Commonwealth games Birmingham probably needs 2tph, so I would have: 1tph Euston to Manchester (MK, Rugby, Coventry, Bham Intl, Bham New St, Sandwell &...

With the very slow and pointless (due to the existence of the fasts) services from Caterham and Coulsdon Town to London Bridge, would it not make sense to replace them with a Victoria fast service that divides at Purley, similar to the London Bridge fast service. Caterham had services to...

Are there any examples where it is possible get from one station to another using every single platform at the origin. The frequency from certain platforms can be low but has to be at least 1tpd. Obviously anything involving stations with one platform are not included. Anything that only works...

Which station has the most passenger trains going through it (calling, passing, originating and terminating all count) in any given hourly time period (so something like 7:36 to 8:36 would be allowed, it is not just exact hour periods). This may be me answering my own thread but is it Clapham...

I believe tickets only allowing you to travel on a particular TOC should be withdrawn unless the journey time is significantly different. Certain examples such as LNWR from Euston to Birmingham would keep separate fares from Avanti since the journey time is ridiculously long (can take more than...

I would like to hear your ideas for what the HS2 service pattern would be if Phase 2 was scrapped and HS2 was only built to Handsacre Junction. Here are my ideas. Services from Euston: 4tph Birmingham Curzon St (OOC, Bham Intl) 2tph Manchester Piccadilly (OOC, Bham Intl, Stoke, Macclesfield...

I propose an hourly (at first) LNER service, run by 9 car Class 800s, running: Kings Cross - Peterborough - Grantham - Nottingham - Chesterfield - Sheffield The service would take over the Norwich to Nottingham service (after the split of Liverpool to Norwich). I would have GA run an hourly...

I would have a Crossrail 2 core like this: Wimbledon (Tunnel starts) Earlsfield Clapham Junction Battersea Vauxhall Lambeth Waterloo Blackfriars Bank Liverpool Street Shoreditch High Street Columbia Road London Fields Hackney Central (branch towards Rectory Road which surfaces immediately)...

I would like to hear how people would alter the Thameslink core service pattern. Imagine Windmill Bridge Junction and East Croydon have been upgraded, and there is still a 24tph limit through the core. I would run: 2tph Bedford to Brighton (all stops to St Albans, West Hampstead, Core, London...

With Contactless being available out to Reading and Gatwick, would travelling from Reading to Gatwick on the North Downs line, or travelling from Reading to Waterloo with SWR be valid? Whether they are or not, couldn't someone use the argument that they entered at a station accepting...

After reading the thread on services that see the most varied stock, I thought it would be interesting to see which station sees the most varied stock.

What is the station that has most stations served nonstop to/from it? It includes any once a day or limited services, but does not include Tube / Metro / Tram services. For example, London Euston: South Hampstead Wembley Central Harrow & Wealdstone Bushey (evening peak) Watford Jct Tring...
