Is it possible for any of the Hitachi AT300 series of trains (80x) to be loco hauled with passengers onboard, and has it ever happened outside a rescue situation? I know the 80x units have emergency couplers to allow coupling to a loco but are there any locos that can provide power and heating...

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Royal Train is running either today or did run yesterday (04/07) in connection to the King's Honours of Scotland ceremony in Edinburgh today (05/07)? Can't find any information about how the King and Queen got to Edinburgh.

Anyone know what a Greater Anglia class 755 is doing parked up at Bounds Green depot? I know GA used to send units to Hornsey for tyre turning/wheel lathe but do they send them to Bounds now?

I've been told an odd thing about the headlights on a class 60 and wondered if anyone knew if it was true. Apparently when a class 60 is stood, say at a red signal, the headlights automatically switch off. Is this true?

Drove past a class 66 today at Doncaster Decoy yard in a livery I've not seen before. It was mainly dark green with 2 thin stripes at solebar level: one yellow, one white. Didn't have any branding on it and didn't see the loco number. Anyone know the loco and livery?

Someone told me that the Hitachi sidings at Tyne Yard are closing at the end of this year. Apparently several of the roads are condemned and Hitachi aren't bothered about sorting them out. Anyone know anything about it?

Was at Doncaster yesterday and saw a WMT class 323 parked in the sidings on the west side of the station, pan down. Anyone know why it's there?

Are there any other electrified diversion routes on the ECML apart from the Hertford Loop and Doncaster Decoy?

Just wondering if anyone can list the freight flows by all FOCs in North East England, including destinations, routes taken, traction and cargo. Thanks Edited to ask about freight flows by all companies in North East England.

Probably a bit of a long shot, but does anyone happen to have an old copy of the Network West Midlands route for BVE4? It seems you can only get the Open BVE files now. I did find links to the old BVE4 NWM route in the web archive but the download links don't work.
