Hi everyone,
I am a fleet engineer working for a UK TOC and
I’ve recently launched a new website called The Train Breakdown where I’m publishing articles about how train systems work and discussing general rolling stock engineering topics.
The aim isn’t to chase headlines or repost news—I’m trying to create well-researched, in-depth pieces that explain how and why railways work, along with the stories behind them.
I’ve only just started, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from fellow enthusiasts. If you spot anything inaccurate, have suggestions for future articles, or think there’s a topic that deserves a deep dive, I’d love to hear it.
If it sounds like your sort of thing, feel free to have a look:
https://www.thetrainbreakdown.com
Thanks, and I hope you find something interesting!
