I've wondered this too!

I've heard that they will be the AI ones unfortunately and not Julie Berry.

A few non-enthusiasts at Hammersmith were taking pictures and asking the people who were clearly there for the trains, what was going on. There was engineering work on the northern end of the Piccadilly line too. The combination of the train testing and the engineering work probably necessitated...

Is this because it was not worth the cost to make the modifications required to match the production spec?

Can someone remind me how many 387s went from GWR to GN please?

Pretty sure the D Stock on the District line displayed this before their refurbishment.

I am ecstatic at this thread. I remember using the Haltestellenansage website years ago, and then discovering that the link stopped working all of a sudden. Thank you for sharing the archived link. Secondly, I recall travelling many years ago on the C Stock between West Brompton and Earl's...

Same for me.

With regards to younger people not sharing the same levels of enthusiasm in the hobby as the older generation, I'm 28 and have always held the opinion that the trains with which I've grown up, have been very underrepresented by the mainstream brands, until recent years. When growing up, the vast...

This gives some more clarity. I did Putney to Richmond around midday and am pretty sure that after leaving the train, heard the guard making an announcement to say the train would now be terminating at Twickenham (was originally bound for W&ER) but didn't hear why. Then from Isleworth to Putney...

Thank you both. Much appreciated.

Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone had a track diagram for the Heathrow Central area before the T5 extension was built? Something similar to what is currently found on Carto Metro would be great. Thanks in advance.

I guess this is somewhat subjective though. I was slightly surprised when I saw there were only 2 crossovers in the core. Just as a comparison, if we take the RER A core as Charles de Gaulle-Etoile to Nation (6 stations inclusive), there are 6 crossovers and a siding accessible from both the...

I wasn't complaining about any of it and am not trying to take away from the sad news from WFJ today. My thoughts are - without a doubt - with the driver and the family of the individual involved. My comment referred to today being the first time I've travelled on Thameslink on the MML and...

Oh dear. In the end I shared an Uber from MKC to Bedford, where we got the 14:19 Thameslink to STP, arriving at 15:18 (painfully slow!).

On the 1111 MAN to EUS. TM has declassified the whole train and said he can't guarantee us getting to EUS, but should be fine to MKC. Wish I went to LDS instead and then LNER to KGX.

I need to travel from London to Manchester Airport for work on 06/12/22. Journey is suggesting the 09:20 AWC from EUS to MAN, and then the 11:51 TPE from MAN to MIA. After reading several pages of this thread, I'm now considering taking the 09:10 AWS from EUS to Crewe, and then the 11:17...

I remember getting First Capital Connect from Wimbledon to Tooting for secondary school, and there was an 0753 Southern service from Wimbledon to London Bridge! When was this discontinued?

Managed to get on the first train from Paddington to Abbey Wood. There was indeed a decent amount of space towards the middle and end of the train. Some observations: The design of the stations is wonderful. The stations are expansive and look very clean. Love the overall feel of them. Canary...

I'm 26 myself and have always been disappointed and surprised with the lack of 'modern' rolling stock representation in the model rail world. When compared to the older generation of rolling stock, I am strongly of the opinion that the attention given to stock people like myself have spent many...
