Oh is that the reason? Is it not going to be a permanent thing?

That’s probably the one I was on :D It’s 710 376 in case you were wondering

Looks like the 710s are now operating on the NLL. Travelling on one as we speak

Thanks for the link. I’ll take a look at it

I see. I didn’t know about 710/2s being used on the West Anglia. Is the full 710/1 fleet not in service yet?

Does anyone know why Class 710/3s are being used on the Watford DC Line? I travel on the line to work (can’t believe 49 year old Bakerloo trains are still running btw). But for the Overground there are now technically 3 train types - Class 378s, Class 710/2s and 710/3s. Why so many for one line...

Eurostar E300 for me. Love everything about them.

Not on the LTS line though Having said that, do they reach these speeds on the GEML? For the short section they travel on it that is...

Thanks for the replies you all, and for clearing that up. It makes a lot more sense to me now :) There are two videos on YouTube by citytransportinfo depicting A Stock trains passing through HOTH in the early 90s. I was born in '98, so my memories of the A Stock are somewhat hazy as they were...

Hi all, I'm a regular traveller on the Tube, in fact before the pandemic I took it almost everywhere, even when I didn't need to. Before I move out of London I hope to have visited every station on the Tube map :lol: One thing that's always irked me though is the northbound Met fasts stopping...

Accidentally stumbled across this two year old article featuring a new EMU design by Alstom apparently simply named 'new EMU for the UK' http://www.railtechnologymagazine.com/Rail-News/alstom-unveils-new-emu-for-uk-and-launches-clever-at-railtex Does anyone know if they're still going to go...

This is wishful thinking on my part as I highly doubt it'd happen, but wouldn't it be interesting if Hitachi were chosen to supply the new Bakerloo line trains? It'd certainly mean there's at least some variety left on the Tube, at least on its deep-level lines :lol:

I'll admit that is true, as the Piccadilly is essentially the airport and tourist line, and there are many alternative lines at the stations the Bakerloo line serves, but I do wonder how much longer we'll have to put up with the 72 stock.

As a regular traveller on the Tube, I must say I'm quite surprised the Piccadilly Line trains will be the first to be replaced, when personally I think the Bakerloo should've been first. The Bakerloo and Piccadilly trains are pretty much the same age, yet the Bakerloo feels so much older in...

I see Stadler WINKs also being used. Potentially something to replace the 150s and 153s, as they're designed for rural routes

Hi all, Not sure if there's a thread already discussing this, and if there is my apologies, but recently Keolis Amey was awarded the Wales & Borders franchise and I'm sure the promise of new trains was one of them. I'm wondering whether they'll order brand new trains or obtain already existing...

The Desiro Verve was literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. It's Desiro City vs. Aventra all over again

Hi all, I'm a frequent traveller on Thameslink, and I've travelled on all train types that were used on the line. Now with the routes expanding and Class 700s finally used across the entire network, I couldn't help but wonder if they're truly the best types of trains suited for the route. In...

I'll admit, that was something I didn't know, though I suppose it makes sense as the only rail operator to order any Hitachi AT200s are ScotRail. I wonder how they'll do once they're in service. And I suppose you're right. In this universe, Hitachi AT200s do transform travel ;)

Yeah, I figured that due to the lack of replies. Ah well. I’m still new to these forums so I’ll take it as a learning experience. People hate fantasy threads. A shame though. I would’ve really liked to discuss some ideas :(
