Can anyone advise of what is actually happening please. I am guessing the WCML works are part of the multi week-end engineering works. I noticed that ScotRail/Network Rail are taking advantage of no access to Carlisle to do other works as Rail Replacement Buses are running Carlisle to Kilmarnock.

I was looking for a West Coast Motors topic but could only find the Borders Buses topic - hence new topic - but do move or merge if required. I happened to be looking a bustimes.org this morning re services to Iona and noticed the following vehicles being shown with West Coast Motors and in use...

We are planning a trip on the Borders railway in the coming weeks and are looking at parking at Tweedbank station (then day out in Edinburgh), any day of the week and probably arriving between 10-00 and 14.00. What is the parking like, i.e. is there space, does it full up, does it vary by day...

Hello, We have a photo requiring further info on the Cumbrian Railways Association website. I have found some details but does anyone know more? The details so far are as follows. This is a photo from the Query Photo section. https://cumbrianrailways.zenfolio.com/p316773120 This is a LST, HM...

I am looking at bustimes to see where my bus is. 10 minutes ago, all was well. Now it shows the buses in the correct locations but the details of the bus and service are totally random, rather like there is a misalignment between databases. Is it bustimes or my browser - Firefox on android...

I was passed a report by a relative of a 4-6-0 steam loco on a low loader with an escort occupying a lane and a half at the M40 J2 just now (15.30 Wed 8 Feb). Seen heading off down the A355 in the direction of Slough - so on the 100yards between the M40 J2 roundabout and Beaconsfield services...

I raised this thread as a link came my way for the use of solar panels on a trailer bus. The article was interesting for 2 reasons: 1. Use of solar panels on a bus 2. A trailer bus - not very common but apparently Munich has 57 and a Munich contractor has 56. So are there other instances...

If the hybrid 168 works, why not just do the same for the 165s but geared for 75mph. Then Chiltern just have one underfloor powerpack type to maintain. Could also consider doing the same with 166s.

RAIL issue 921 has a side view of an Azuma and a Pendolino on the cover. Both views are full side on and so you can clearly see all the way underneath the carriage. So it got me thinking about the undercarriage aerodynamics, or not, and then on a wider aerodynamic thinking. Clearly, the there...
