I'm sure I have seen a photo of a cab that has a simple slider to show the driver what length their train is but I can't find which stock it is now. Is this a thing or have I not really seen it?

Why are there so many Class 60s at Toton? And why that particular Class?

You can see the N and W clearly, still haven't found the L. Can anyone point it out?

Are the EMR Class 180s allocated to specific diagrams every day? If so, does anyone know what these may be? Don't fancy waiting around for one to turn up.

Does anyone know what the shortest journey I can make is, starting from Liverpool Street on the new Anglia units? I was thinking the Airport but there must be something closer? Just want to sample them for a quick 10/20 mins or so.

Apart from the tilting mechanism, are there any other technical differences? As and when Avanti give up their 221s, there is a strong possibility they'll go to Cross Country. At a guess, they'll isolate the tilt mechanically by removing certain parts like they did with the last 221s (as far as...

There's an obvious split between 1st generation DMU's and the rest. I guess the turning point was the 14x and above. But why was the 165 (and newer) not classed as 3rd generation DMU? And the latest trains built after the Meridians named as the 4th generation?

Found this while searching: https://pca.st/podcast/dbc8f960-781a-0138-edea-0acc26574db2 It's a Northern Trains podcast. Anyone know of any more?

Is there an app that allows one to look at station departures and stopping patterns only? I know there's National Rail, but that's a bit "big" as it offers ticket sales and lots of convoluted information. I simply want station departures and stopping patterns to assist with planning. Geoff...

Are C2C keeping their 357 units and using the new 720 trains to displace the 387 trains? Or are the 720 trains replacing the 357's as well?
