Can anyone please inform me which class 67 worked the 10:45 LDS-KGX south of PBO today? I was on the train & intended to npte the number when I got to the blocks but literally as I got about 4 coaches away I got distracted by a very important phone call which meant I had to dash for the next...
Early this morning at about 00:10 I was passing over the footbridge just south of Holgate Junction when I witnessed a Colas class 56 heading northbound with what appeared to be an engineers train. As it was dark & it caught me unawares I didn`t see the number. Can anyone identify the locomotive...
i hope this is in the right section;please move if its not. Please settle an argument between myself & a friend. I say the above station was formally closed to rail traffic in the early 1990s (1991 sticks in my mind) but my friend argues that whilst passenger trains no longer run there the bus...
Please re-direct me if there is already a thread on this subject. Are any of the diverted services between Carlisle & Glasgow Central scheduled to be Pendolino units dragged by a diesel locomotive? If so,are there any regular diagrams? Thanks in advance for any information.
I was watching Emmerdale last night (Friday) & there was a scene where the character Ross Barton is walking over a trackless railway viaduct. As the programme is filmed in West Yorkshire,mainly around the Harewood estate,I wonder if anyone could identify the location. It will feature in a few...
Does anyone know whether or not the current services between Norwich & Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft are due to continue with class 37s after the December timetable change. A friend of mine has another friend in the area who thinks that they will,but that`s rather too much like Chinese whispers for...
Feel free to move this if it should be in another part of the forum. As I was walking home from York city centre this morning,sometime after midnight,I was crossing over the footbridge just south of Holgate Junction when I saw what appeared to be 2 Colas class 56s heading north through the...
Forgive me if thishas been discussed elsewhere or if it`s a very sensitive subject but can I be permitted to ask why this railway is currently not running trains? Feel free to (politely) tell me to mind my own business.
I am booked on this forthcoming railtour. Highlights for me are:traversal of the new Doncaster North chord & loco-hauled traversal of the Barnsley to Huddersfield line & Barton-on-Humber branch. A friend of mine,however,believes we will not get all the way to Barton-on-Humber due to a loco ban...
Firstly,apologies if this should be in another section or has been discussed before. 1:Is a U.K passport necessary to gain admittance to the Republic of Ireland from U.K via ferry from Holyhead. If...
Can anyone provide opening dates for the above stations (the most recent dates) please? I don`t think they both opened on the same date & I have it in my mind that Bentley opened first but I cannot be certain.
Has anybody made a recent visit to this soon-to-close narrow-gauge railway? Is anybody planning a visit? I am going to try. The only thing which might thwart me is getting time off work. If I should fail it won`t be through lack of trying. Also,does anybody know how reliable running of the...
Apologies if this has appeared elsewhere. I did use the "Search" facility. What I wish to know is if anyone has any information on how work on building/opening this line is progressing. Has an opening date been announced or even provisionally suggested?
in view of the fact that mullrail have lived to fight another day i`m looking to embark on a journey from york to visit them,hopefully also stopping off to visit the bo`ness & kinniel railway en route. i don`t have any specific dates although mullrail cease operayions (permanently?) in early...
