Are there any 378s that still make an appearance on the Watford DC Lines? Thanks!

I had a fantastic morning at the DPS shed at Barrow Hill yesterday. Spoke to a very knowledgeable member who mentioned there was never a speed record run arranged for the 55s. Interesting that the A4s, HSTs and 91s were tested to their limits...but nothing official for the Deltics? I imagine...

Slightly bizarre situation here...I've amended my seat to ensure a forward-facing position on a 225 service. My return journey is on an Azuma, but it's now telling me there is a technical fault. Has anyone else experienced this before?

The 225 Group are reporting that there are planned changes to diagrams after December: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Cl91APG/permalink/6883820611712814/?app=fbl A reduction in diagrams weekdays and Saturdays, with a small increase on Sundays. Are these diagrams likely to survive until the...

Modern Railways reports that surplus Class 68s could be deployed on Nottingham to Cardiff services. It's a shame this route has never been properly regarded as 'InterCity style' by XC. It feels more like a second-rate regional service given it is operated by 170s. Is this likely to happen...or...

Apart from CrossCountry's service to Birmingham & Cardiff Central, Nottingham is not well serviced by long distance trains. I assume this was not always the case. Am I right in thinking there used to be a Nottingham to Glasgow service that ran via the S&C in years gone by? No doubt in the days...

Hi all, I thoroughly enjoyed this recent footage of Galatea on a recent venture from London to Worcester: What a wonderful sight to see a mainline steam rail tour with a near full rake of Mk1s and no diesel on the rear. How much of a rarity is this nowadays? I am not a steam railtour...

Hi all, I’m considering buying a gaming laptop for Train Simulator and/or Train Sim World. My budget is roughly £900-950 ish. Can anyone recommend a reasonably decent laptop that might be up to the job? I saw this advertised on the Curry’s website, just as an example...

Hi all, I noticed this allocation on RTT today: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P53252/2022-09-01/detailed#allox_id=0 Are we going to see more of this? I assumed Norwich-Liverpool was strictly 158 operated, apart from the occasional 156

Hi all, does anyone have information on when the last Liverpool-Norwich and Leeds-Nottingham trains are running on Christmas Eve? Thanks.

Hello all, I have searched the forums and other rail sites, but haven’t found any recent news on what the proposed Liverpool-Norwich split is going to look like. Am I right in thinking it is definitely going ahead for the December 2021 timetable change...or still TBD? Thanks

Hello all, My 26-30 railcard expired in January. Like many others, (sadly) I haven't used the train since then, although for work-related reasons, that has now changed. I'd like to renew my railcard for travel between now and July (i.e. just before my 31st birthday). Would you recommend I...

Please would it be possible for someone to confirm that this diagram is indeed Voyager operated? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C73703/2020-02-14/detailed I’d prefer to avoid Voyagers, if possible! Many thanks.

Hello all, I did check to see if there was an active thread on this, but couldn’t find anything. In short...are we to assume that 2020 marks the end of the Freightliner Class 86s? I imagine the soon-to-be-redundant GA Class 90s are likely to take their workload this year.

Hello - newbie here, so apologies if this isn't the correct location for this type of discussion... With the impending roll-out of LNER's Azumas, you may have noticed they have recently updated their website with seating plans...
