On the weekend of 26th and 27th September, there is an event marking the 130th anniversary of the Blackpool Tramway, with all operational heritage trams running. Highlights include heritage trams running to Fleetwood, non-operational trams on display at Rigby Road depot and (of interest to any...

I was looking at the National Rail Enquiries website regarding prices for the Caledonian Sleeper seating accomodation on various dates in late September and early October. Despite prices being quoted for all destinations on the Inverness and Aberdeen portions of the 21:15 departure from Euston...

Are these two units dedicated to working Southeastern services ? For several weeks these units have been regulars on 0624 Ashford - Blackfriars, 0728 Rochester - Blackfriars and 1747 Blackfriars - Ashford (and presumably 1620 Charing Cross - Hastings).

I travelled on 378214 on the East London Line on Sunday but foolishly forgot to check whether it was a 4 car or 5 car (I had assumed that all trains on the ELL are now 5 cars). However on the same day, 378213 was on the North London Line as a 4 car, and as far as I'm aware the 378/2s are being...

With annoying frequency, when I am logged into these forums I get a freeze frame, then after about a minute a box appears at the bottom of the screen saying 'railforums.co.uk is not responding'. This only happens when I am logged into these forums (I've never had this problem when using the...

Southern liveried 377209 has been working FCC diagrams this week (in multiple with FCC liveried units). Has it transferred to FCC a month early ? I thought the 377/2s weren't due to transfer to FCC until the May timetable change.

Probably a bizarre query, but what is the fastest journey possible where a Zone 1 to 6 Travelcard is valid ? Some examples, all based on weekday off-peak services include Stratford to Romford (20 and 45 past hour) & Romford to Stratford (28 and 53 past hour) - 8 min journey time for 8...

It would appear that a C Stock train is being used for recording track or infrastructure. The train (not sure if it is 4 or 6 car formation) has what looks like a camera mounted on the front. It was seen passing eastbound through Farringdon today at about 11:15 and the rear unit was 5704. There...

The 0759 Woodgrange Park to Hampstead Heath will run through to Willesden Junction Low Level in the timetable change next weekend. Curiously it is allowed 17 minutes from Kensal Rise to its destination and apparantly 'overtaken' by a North London Line service according to National Rail...

Does anyone know what has happened to this site ? When I tried to view this site recently I got a blank page. I hope it hasn't disappeared for good as it contained a wealth of information about loco hauled trains in the 1980s.

Other than peak hour services which join or split at Ashford, what High Speed services are booked to be a pair of class 395s ? On Thursday the 1142 St Pancras - Margate was a pair of units but the return working, 1353 Margate - St Pancras was just a single unit (395006).

Are any of the Sevenoaks to Blackfriars services at weekends now diagrammed for class 465/9s (ie, 465s with first class) ? There were at least three of these units (465922 / 928 / 931) working this route today, and the first time I have seen 465/9s on this route.

153364 + 170635 were seen working the 1317 Worcester Shrub Hill to Dorridge and 1446 Dorridge to Worcester Shrub Hill today. Is this the booked traction for these workings ? I thought all LM passenger workings on this line were booked 172s.

Almost a month into 2013 I think it is time this thread is started. Some diesel events 9th/10th February - Mid Norfolk Railway 'Stratford' weekend - 31235, 37003, 47579/580/596. 16th February - North Norfolk Railway - class 25, 31, 47. Currently some conflicting info about which...

Here's one the class 40 enthusiasts might be able to answer. According to the book 'Rail Portfolios 1 The 40s' (ISBN 0 7106 0305 3) there is reference to 40191 being allocated to the Western Region for a 5 month period between June and November 1977. Does anybody know if this is true ? If...

The 1E68 1746 SSuX Southampton Central - York is mentioned three times in the current PSUL (Passenger Services over Unusual Lines). ie, Whitacre Jct to Kingsbury Jct Woodburn Jct to Rotherham Central Jct Aldwarke North Jct to Mexborough East Jct via Thrybergh Jct Has any other passenger...

Passing Denmark Hill station today at about 12:40, I saw class 395 unit 395004 travelling eastbound. It appeared to be an ECS working. Any ideas what it was doing there ?

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anybody know which power car partnered 43047 on Wednesday (12th December) ? NB It was the rear power car of the 2200 St Pancras - Sheffield on Wednesday evening. Thanks.

The 'Mind the Gap' announcement at Embankment station (Northern Line northbound platform) which plays whenever a train arrives at the platform has been in use since the 1980s (probably even longer). Preceeded by a single chime, and consisting of the words 'Mind the Gap' repeated several times...

Any idea what 37075 was doing at Ardwick this week ?
