Probably not. Train’s aren’t ordered yet. A bit pre-emptive to ask for no reduction when we dont know what the new stock will be capable of. Surely they cant be electric…, the route past basingstoke isn’t electrified. Are they likely to be bimodes or trimodes? (With batteries). Apart from...

There's also HS1 Domestic Services from Kent.. HS2 to HS1 via a connecting tunnel combined would provide a lovely Central London avoiding line.

Agreed. It's a shame, the difference is a matter of half a mile or so between the two railways. It'll be opportunity for a network lost.

I'm not sure why people thought the Manchester and Leeds links were ever actually going to happen. Apart from the fact both legs made sense, it was all too simple Now we're at this point, all we need is to ensure the tunnel from Old Oak Common connects to the HS1 tunnels under Islington, then...

This is a joke now....

Honestly, on most commuter services the answer is a no. Seats aren't guaranteed in nearly all cases, the 1st class area itself is very small, there are no at seat or additional refeshments provided, and the upgrade is usually a leather seat which in many cases is equal to or less comfortable...

Absolutely not. I know the English did but it wasn't exactly a 'Breeze'. What happened to those class 600s?

No words needed. just beautiful. Is it a sign of the times that the Scots got there first?

I'll be honest I don't think there's anything that's of significance that isn't necessary (freight excluded)- in fact the country as a whole is still needing to playing catch-up in terms of infrastructure upgrades. This is particularly the case more in England than Scotland or wales I think...

I hate to say it but: Apply Again!! The reason for this is because HR Departments / Hiring Managers and Interviewers in most cases don't talk to each other on an individual basis about applicants that they want to decline. just the ones they definitely want to take in. Many of the jobs I was...

Thanks both. Really appreciate the swift and detailed reply :D

Hello all. Quick question. Popping in to the east London line a few days ago I came across an 8 car marker at a few stations on the east London line. Which 8 car stock is cleared (With SDO) on the east London line?

I run an agency and work with other matchmakers and dating agencies in various niches. I've not come across a specific agency that runs with that railway niche. I'll ask around

The 156s are ex-Greater Anglia. Some of the 153s that TFW have gained are also ex-Greater Anglia

Thanks @yorkie @D365 you're absolutely correct it's the DC shoes which need to be refitted. Is it the case that great northern currently don't have enough 387s to cover all areas so use the 365s for Peterborough services? The 707s are a great step forward. I don't think the networkers are...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-707s-confirmed-to-be-going-to-southeastern.203610/ Send 2/3rds of the 365s down south with conversion to DC perhaps using the motors and electrics from the 455 conversion. A serious refurb of the existing 465s for local/mid...

Hi, I'd say one of the issues is to do with Passenger information during disruption and before and during engineering works Ensuring that correct levels of information are provided: In advance of a customer journey. At the station. Where connections or modal changes may occur for example rail...

Wonder if it’s related to the Greater anglia class 745/755 stock issues...
