Given that it's now only a month until the event, I wonder if they'll leave one of the two at Derby instead of bringing the expected 720 506 all the way there?

On the Freeview viewing guide ( no use after the event, I admit ) it usually says episode 1/6, 2/6 whatever... Did anyone see if it said how many episodes? ...or if anyone still has last week's Radio Times it'll probably say in there - I can't check for you I'm afraid; today was recycling...

It'll be different 68s on the Mk5s; the ones TPE used to use, so hopefully it won't have the same issues?

It was indeed... You may march out to the stirring sound of Eric Coates's masterpiece to set the next question.

Has anyone suggested using the 350/2s to boost capacity in the c2c routes from Fenchurch Street? They would allow more 12 car 357 sets to operate, and could operate as 12 cars themselves. Despite the recent arrival of the 720/6s, there's still a lot of very busy 8 car rakes in use. Downside...

You were declared correct and it passed to you... ...so I'll put a hopefully easy one in on the same theme: What is the claim to fame of the Derwent Dam ( on the Derwent Reservoir ) in Derbyshire? ( Not to be confused with Derwent Water in Cumbria ).

It occurs to me that surely this is different enough that they would instead be a new sub-class and come out as 99 101 to 99 110 if it happens...?

Ten of them are apparently to be built with a higher train supply rating.

Is Waterloo one of the terminus stations on which Network Rail has fitted free water dispensers?

Caledonian Sleeper did issue a traction tender a couple of months back which seemed to fit the 99s...

379 020 has indeed been at Hornsey since lunchtime yesterday.

66 748 is apparently getting the livery. Originally it was supposed to be two others, but I gather it's now just this one - which is not one of the originally suggested pair.

Can I just check you do mean 1993 and not 1893...?

Something I've noticed which may be related, although this relates to the three pin plug sockets on the 377s rather than any USB sockets... On the train from Epsom, charging seems painfully slow, perhaps 1% in ten minutes. Once the train reaches West Croydon, charging from there to London...

I agree, and it's almost certainly a lot cheaper than jamming ever more people onto the roads causing more road repairs to be needed, more congestion losing people valuable time, creating a poorer environment for the public in the street... A public transport subsidy is in fact an investment in...

In fact, that mandate only said that the track and the trains should be accounted for separately; they did not mandate the creation of completely separate companies for the track and the trains - that was the choice of the Major Government and went far beyond what was actually required. Open...

The organisers have said they won't be announcing everything that attends so as to keep some surprises for the event.

Stratford International is on Open Train Times so you'd be able to see them approaching on the maps, along with the headcode. Link below for the specific location. https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/ctrl_1#T_STFORDI

I've been checking the news - however, I cannot find any reports of any paint factories suffering an explosion, but there must have been one...?

If they do get another attempt past the DfT, is it not more likely they'll just buy a few more IETs for it instead?
