Thanks, will do

Yes, of course. Waiting to hear back from TfW.

Hi everyone, I've successfully pitched an idea for an article discussing Network North Wales to a railway magazine. I have also contacted Ann Jones, the Chief Press Officer for the Welsh Government (in early December, she sent a press release to me on this topic, which was what gave me the idea...

Hello there friends, I am writing an article for Backtrack Magazine and I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could perhaps obtain a copy or copies of period photos showing fogmen's huts, that is on operating railways, not on preserved lines or on closed routes either abandoned to nature...

Exactly my point as I was posting links on social media right now. If the GP had been behind HS2 when it really mattered, perhaps....just perhaps, it might have made a difference, but instead the hypocrisy got in the way and the GP elite dug their heels in. It's interesting to note Carla...

Okay, thanks

Hi guys, calling any Yeovil, or former Yeovil-based, ex-train spotters and/or rail enthusiasts and/or former members of Yeovil Railway Circle, or anyone who may have been taking details of Class 33 diesels at Yeovil Pen Mill in the early 80s or actually at any time when 33s worked the Bristol to...

Aha, thanks :D

Okay, so just a campaign, nothing concrete as yet...

Okay, so basically, all there is in this is a petition and that's it, I am assuming from your answer? Nothing more solid than that? Fine. Move on to something else then...

If that's directed to me steevp, I just asked a question, that's all. I know nothing about the Hereford, Hay and Brecon, hence my question...

Okay, where can I find out more about that? I can't see much with a cursory look on Google...

I've just seen mention of what seems to have been an experiment with a number of 08 shunters fitted with remote control. I know nothing about this, can anyone tell me more about it? Cheers.

I am fairly okay with calling Munich 'Munchen' actually... :D

I would agree with the immediate pre-WW1 period. Lots of companies with lots of different locomotive types, attractive, well-kept stations, a whole load of colourful liveries to gawp at, etc etc.

Hi guys, I've just seen this on the BBC site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-37908735 "BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott said: "[Network Rail] pinned their hopes on a new, multi-million pound factory train that digs the holes, puts up overhead wire supports...

Hi guys, I am writing an article about railway turntables as it happens. Can you confirm that the turntable south of Darlington station has now been removed? If it has, anyone know what happened to it (was it scrapped or has some preservation society or such acquired it)? If by some chance it...

Hee, hee, as a former road protester, and friend of a certain Daniel Hooper, I know EXACTLY where Swampy is these days... :wink: :D

Darn, didn't think of that. Hell, if I as a freelance can bother to get my spelling right, why can't others, particularly if they're staff journalists? Always damn annoying, but maybe I am just picky.

Hi guys, Having heard about the GEML franchise, I've been following this thread with great interest, particularly as I am nearing the end of writing an article about the Stadler FLIRT. Unfortunately, its early days yet, so Abellio can't really say much about the likely UK configuration (which...
