    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    730206 appears to be on a Rugby to Euston run this morning. Is it now better?

    Progress with 345 071 - 345 080

    I noticed 345071 is on a Shenfield to Terminal 5 service. Shouldn't the unit be sitting in a sidings for a year or two unused like with other Operators!!?

    TfW class 398 Stadler Citylink tram trains

    If two units, one each side of the failed unit, are required to allow removal how will this work on the single line sections of the network?

    Progress with 345 071 - 345 080

    Thank you. I have only really travelled on the Central Section of the line since it opened so unaware of the current sidings provision. It will be interesting to see how things pan out once the enhanced services are up and running. It appears to be very slick at present from my experience.

    Progress with 345 071 - 345 080

    Thanks for this. As a matter of interest does TfL use the array of sidings that used to be at Shenfield and those vacated by Crossrail at Abbey Wood?

    Progress with 345 071 - 345 080

    Is there insufficient space to lay new sidings at OOC to cater for the new units or at other locations? So are you saying that GWR/GA have around 10 sidings siting around doing nothing?

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    Do we know if this is a runner or not? Nothing appearing on RTT for 0Z48 yet.

    TfW class 398 Stadler Citylink tram trains

    Do the 398s have a number at the top at the end of the carriages similar to the Pendolinos? Looking at the recent photos it appears not. Just no consideration for ' us spotters'. It would make life a bit easier at Taffs Well!

    Transport for Wales Class 231 / 756 Stadler FLIRTs

    To see the back of Canton Depot you need the Aberdare service not Barry Island or Penarth. You can get off at Ninian Park and take the next service back if you miss something.

    Transport for Wales Class 231 / 756 Stadler FLIRTs

    The last time I saw 231005 , last week, it was on the line adjacent to the main line.

    TfW class 398 Stadler Citylink tram trains

    So with this number of units apparently performing ok is there a move to increase the number of diagrams?

    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    I agree. I know this has been talked about before but is there any updates on what these additional units will replace/strengthen?

    CAF class 197 Civity for TfW: News and updates on introduction.

    From my experience last week the worst track is towards the Clarbeston Road end and there are at least two sections. The 197 was certainly shaken about. I assume that the track is still 60 ft lengths but it is difficult to see on a single track. It felt as though one rail was continuous and the...

    I shall take RTT with a pinch of salt in future!!

    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    I bow to your greater knowledge. However the same units went north as came south and in both cases stops were made at the usual stations. The diagrams were classed as Express Passenger. Just seemed odd.

    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    I happened to notice that there was a 15 car set from London to Crewe and a return working on RTT. Is this correct?
