I can think one off the top of my head: early br carriages (cycling lion logo) in the recent swallows and amazons movie set in 1935.
Swansea cork ferries closed its route in 2006 but after much campaigning Fastnet re-opened the route. However after just a year of operation they stopped services again.
Why hasn’t there been any motivation to re-open the route?
Does any one have pictures of superferry when it was operating...
Does anyone know when the line is scheduled to open? Wikipedia is typically not very useful only saying the opening has been pushed back to 2018. Any information is appreciated.
will Iarnród Éireann ever re-open the line? From what I can see on google maps the line appears to be intact and the station at Youghal is still there. Only the Midleton to Youghal section needs to be re-opened because Iarnród Éireann has already re-opened cork to Midleton.
Couple of months back I saw a class 150 in York (150127) in the FGW livery of blue body, pink doors but with out a TOCs name. Does anyone know why it was up north? Is it on loan to northern, and are there more 150s in FGWs livery?
i recently found an image Bristol temple meads in the 1900s. It shows the station with two extra middle platforms under the main canopy. Could these platforms be rebuilt to increase capacity?

I have noticed the standards of first class gradually worsening. For instance here is the first class on GWR HSTs:
Vs the ‘superior’ new class 800s:
Is this something anyone else has noticed? How is it with other TOCs?
Does anyone know of DB trains is still planning on Frankfurt-London Services, and if so when will they start?
I found this on the Evening standard from 2017...
if this is in the wrong sub forum please correct it.
Basically I saw this picture of a parcel tgv in st Pancras and wondered wether a tgv Duplex could fit through and get along hs1 to st Pancras with the current loading gauge.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Hi, i'll be staying in Cork soon and was thinking of getting the train up to Dublin for a day trip. I looked up prices and it seemed alright but is it good value for time ect. Vs car?
Also I'm planning to get the 9:25 (arriving at 11:59) train to Dublin (will it be a Mark 4?) and return on the...
