We will wait and see when the Dft decide to do another restructuring of the countrys rail franchise network.

Apparently I was wrong in my presumption of Class 90's being known as skoda's. I thought they were called that as they look similar to the ZSSK class 350, Built by Skoda in CS.

70007 is to be shown on General Electric's stand at Innotrans in Berlin next week, then it will be shipped to the UK... But then again Poland is not to far away either....

I was also impressed with Bachmann's 66152 paint job, Actually I was amazed Bachmann released the locomotive so quickly after the Locomotive had been painted.

I am very impressed with the level of detail on Seamer. Please dont take this in offence, but the sounds you use, you only use that for youtube videos right?

The Taunton class 67 turn will stay until March 2011.

Scotrail would be mad to swap IS based class 158's for class 156's. The Inverness based class 158 fleet had a refurbishment specified for the Far North and Kyle lines traffic IIRC.

Always knew them as Spoons, never duffs that's a derogatory term.

I have only flown with Easyjet. The only problem I have had with them the last couple of times is planes at least 1 hour late. I never had a problem with online check in, baggage drop, in flight catering and the staff have always been top notch. I refuse to fly with Ryanair, Complete ripoff...

I always referred to the class 70's as the Predator Class. That aggressive looking front end and their sheer power shows that class 66's are their prey.

WNXX states A Hereford stop on WAG2 in each direction.

I did the WSMR 'railtour' back at the beginning of August from Smethwick Galton Bridge -London via the WCML. It was a long journey, but for the 45 passengers that were onboard they were not bothered by this at all. My guess is as the weekend after it was normal timetable and the trains were a...

That 35% is 'Apparently' the 16 extra seats fitted to every voyager in the fleet when they went for Mods at Bombardier, Derby. The winter diagrams wont be out until late November/Early December at the latest but sources in XC are stating some of the SOU -NCL COULD be double sets. Same...

That 35% increase is the 16 extra seats per every voyager in the fleet. The HST's will increase to 3 or 4 from december that can be confirmed.

I believe the 125 group have bought a few with other bits and bobs.

The XC franchise is set that the voyager fleet must be used at all times with the HST fleet supplementing them. They cant just change over or order new trains.
