I don’t see any DMU’s listed on the order - are they not being replaced?

Yes we’re on the move now.

Line now closed again due to a bridge strike.

Is there any word on replacing the few Budd railcars that still run?

1788622611 Thanks, yes that was exactly my point! I’m sadly very familiar with the later ‘Amshack’ stations, though in recent years there have been some notable improvements such as the new Rochester NY building (though take a look at the original one and weep at what was lost). Quote Reply...

Makes perfect sense to me.

From experience the crew of the up lunchtime train from Devon won't ever extend it into the adjoining coach, I've been turned away on multiple occasions.

That's true but I meant more the interiors.

Seemed to run at a normal speed past the incident site but there is a speed restriction on the up line after Plumpton.

Trains seem to be operating relatively normally today albeit with some delays due to speed restrictions - I don't know whether that is on the reopened line or elsewhere.

How to doom a trial to fail…

Just booked onto the Pullman from Exeter in a few weeks time - surprised to see only 5 places left this far out!

It always strikes me that the design of US commuter rail is basically stuck in the 1950's.

Thanks both, will keep checking! Oddly trainline doesn't seem to offer any availability for this service at all, but OBB does on other dates.

22 Nov but was also not available on OBB.

I've been trying to plan a trip to Zagreb using the sleeper from Stuttgart but neither the trainline or OBB seems to be able to sell me a ticket - does anyone know what's going on with it?

Probably because they have an eye on costs for which they're now wholly responsible for?

You may well be right but...the waiting area in DC is definitely not in the nice bit! It's just the deep contrast that seems odd to me. Even an airbridge is well kept, its not exposed concrete, puddles and so on.

Returning to the original topic, I was just posting pics from my trip online and these neatly illustrate my point. I find it hard to imagine that the platforms were this dismal originally when so much money was evidently spent on the rest of Washington DC’s Union station.

Likewise with check in facilities which are currently all staffed by Eurostar.
