Forgot about Rails of Sheffield! Thanks for that

Hi, Looking for some advise/help. Just moved house and during the move i found a load of models, i've sold the Units (Chiltern 168 and Lima RR 156 with light kit) but I also have a Bachmann Model of 47406 which I think is a limited edition one. What would be the best place to sell it? Loathed...

Don't think they exist, some do for other Turbostar Operators, this is CrossCountry, only major difference is that there is single seats by the door to the drivers cab (My preferred seat when on Chiltern) XC Turbostar -...

It arrived in Freightliner colours and got quite a bend....

68013 pushing from the back on 1H37 - 13:37 from BMO today (Sat 24th)

Its the Bridge over the A445 Rugby Road, basically looks like a swiss cheese underneath, believe they want to replace it but not till next year....

I would expect the DfT to say no, i mean Chiltern are not really using the 68's & Mk3's at the moment and unless the traffic bounces back to pre-pandemic levels they can make do with the 165/168's... Nice chunk of cash to save by ditching the Mk3's and handing the 68's back, not to mention track...

The current Network Rail ones are here - https://www.networkrail.co.uk/industry-and-commercial/information-for-operators/national-electronic-sectional-appendix/

Its a bit of a climb down at Prees as well, even with the hump.

Yes, it was on the Crewe - Shrewsbury local that day until the tree came down and closed one of the lines for the afternoon

Got off and on a train there on Tuesday, has to be the Crewe-Shrewsbury local which was a 175 compared to the Milford Haven which rattled through just after formed of a 150....

Not sure if people are going abroad to see innotrans this year but it has been moved to 'Springtime' 2021 now https://www.railwaygazette.com/innotrans/innotrans-2020-moved-to-new-date/56325.article?fbclid=IwAR2zPl-PBT43wqZnTHsWd3KhFPlHtXdhtnCML9bwex8APss8nfABvgurLVE

Depending how the CoronaVirus goes it might not be an ICE1 since they are all parked up at the moment -...

The Czech Railway app is good if you are in that part of the world, shows all the stops, current location, formation etc. Can also buy tickets. https://www.cd.cz/en/typy-jizdenek/jak-koupit-jizdenku/-28095/

They did a sting at Charlton last year, train pulls in, announcement that a full ticket check will be done, cue most of the train getting off and then caught on the platform by an army of Grippers. Train closed doors and headed off with no ticket check done onboard. Very clever I thought.

Compared to other European countries we do well, travelled from Bratislava to Berlin yesterday and everything is covered in graffiti: the trains, stations, trackside buildings etc. At least we try to remove it

On 9T58 and we have been re-routed via Crystal Palace so only guessing that the driver don’t sign via London Bridge or something is broken....

Strange, they are spinning the brightons as well, the 10:04 and the 11:35 are going from P4 and nothing in between (according to station staff)

Nothing running north of LBG at the moment, they are spinning them in the Low Level platforms....
