Specifically, this is about an infrastructure issue on the Sheffield trams (relevant thread is probably https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/sheffield-supertram-live-information-disruption-updates.306288/), but what stuck out to me was the way the update is worded. Not verbose, doesn't take long...

I hope this in the right forum. I am spending the weekend of 29th-31st May in Saltaire, ending at 4pm. Once I have got from the venue to the station (and hopefully bought some food), call it 5pm earliest reliable departure. Transpennine Upgrade works mean that there is a closure...

I have no clear idea why Facebook showed me this. But it seemed well worth sharing (author's own website): https://brianbilston.com/2026/03/31/a-poem-about-my-experience-of-travelling-on-network-rail/ First verse:

This evening northbound WCML services seem to be losing 5 minutes (on top of existing delays) between Crewe Bradford Hall Jn and Crewe South Jn. Lots of platform alterations at Crewe, but also long reoccupation times of the platforms waiting for delayed trains. As a result I missed the...

I have no knowledge of Class 93 particular locos, but as a regular Merseyrail 777 passenger (also built by Stadler) I have to wonder if slow testing is a sign that the results of the tests are not all that was hoped for? Some very confidential negotiations about what changes would then be...

This year the timetable change was advertised as "the usual autumn timetable", although the first few times it happened it was definitely an Emergency Timetable. Standing at Capenhurst because the 16:51 has been cancelled, it occurs to me that one of the compensations of previous year's...

I photographed this wooden door cupboard with ATE electric bells on top on platforms 2/3 (island) at Manchester Oxford Road. What is / was it for? https://www.flickr.com/photos/30661871@N03/54117826658/in/album-72177720315081410...

On Wednesday there was a lot of very heavy rainfall, and Merseyrail services on the Chester and Ellesmere Port lines ceased around 2pm (rather rough on those who had travelled to work - Merseyrail channels simply said "check our website/app" and then showed normal service). Since the there has...

I noticed that 331 106 stood at Liverpool Lime Street today had what looked like a spotlight on the roof pointed at the pantograph. Is this part of OHLE monitoring of some sort? Was much more obvious in person than on the picture because of the brightness, even in daylight.

Looking at 67 008 (my picture https://www.flickr.com/photos/30661871@N03/53923874619) I'm struck it has two multi-pin multiple working sockets on the end, as well as the RCH jumpers. Old pictures of them in EWS livery only have the central AAR (Association of American Railroads) socket and the...

Due to engineering works at Carstairs, WCML trains to and from Glasgow are reversing at Midcalder Jn to work between Glasgow and Carlisle. I'm on 1M17 heading south, and have been told the delay (long slow crawl under signals) is due to a problem with the mail train in front - first announced as...
