I think there's been a giant drop in driving quality since covid. Not sure why

Doesn't seem like the 90 has enough from the rear rumours of a 57 taking over. How embarrassing!

The 90 is now assisting

Except that this is the same problem as before. Pretty frustrating for anyone caught up in it.

ok great thanks for that! And thanks for the help, really pleased to get this resolved so quickly, i've been pondering it for ages!

ok definitely. there are books about coach formations etc then? any particular ones to recommend? I've got various NSE books, but this is slightly older.. It seems quite a mishmash of a rake!

wow BRILLIANT!! Thanks! I guess my googling fu is failing me! Or maybe it's not out there, which is sad if so

OK, here's a fun one. On 19th Feb 1978 Deltic ballymoss ran out on the gwr! what a sight eh? So, there's some history here: http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/70s/780219rp.html http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/18_29-1-78.htm And by judicious googling i've found the following: 4206...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any pictures of the maidenhead signal box? it seems it was a short lived beast. it was a pretty modern looking thing. The only picture i've found is one at sunset and so is in shadow on flickr! not much help really! Or perhaps does anyone know of any other...

Funnily enough they've now updated their policy: https://www.sleeper.scot/coronavirus-covid-19/ Indeed - you can now get refunds, if they dont run the service (they've dropped a load of them) and/or if your "reason for essential travel" is no longer valid. However; Thats only for pre-existing...

sorry, i'm told i should have linked it - here it is:

Gareth Dennis mentioned that tpe pushed the 802 up to 148mph? in the last week or so. Hence stealing the crown for fastest non high speed rail service in UK? (Altho didn't hst do 153?) Curiously not seen this anywhere in the press. Supposedly it was a mistake.

Ok seems fair enough. Funny though there was an article from the BBC on this. Lner are also taking the same stance on the basis that they've been told to. 1602089231 the hotel tickets are fully flexible too! Abd the extra cost there is pennies

Hi, I'm looking at booking the caledonian sleeper. Their advice is book a flexible ticket - but the flex tickets are £280 more than the already expensive fixed tickets. I understand if the service doesnt run, then i'll get a refund. But; they've made it clear that if I don't travel due to say...

hi, been eyeing up this tour: https://www.pathfindertours.co.uk/events/the-galloway-fifties/ Seems like a true marathon of a day. I guess it's been ran before, anyone been on it? Anything to look out for on such a long "day" tour?

Ah well ukrailtours have just announced everything for the rest of the year is postponed to 2021

OK. So i was all confused because on the website the Autumn west highlander is scheduled to run. And i couldn't imagine how that could work - so I spoke to them - it seems this is just a glitch in the website! It shouldn't be listed. Nevertheless there's plenty of capacity on the rails at the...

Hi, If a rail tour has to operate at half capacity due to social distancing does that work? Or does it mean it must be cancelled? I've read rumours that they have to be 95% full to break even - which seems unlikely?

Interesting. Now we're 100% 717 though, we could use the general reliability figures i guess. Will wait a few months and see what they look like!

Are the latest reliability figures out yet? The last 2 weeks seem to have been pretty bad. Siemens must be pretty embarrassed? Have they really not exceeded the reliability of the 313s yet?
