    It's not a 350 ( possibly 350 104 ) is it...?

    Northern line train evacuation at Clapham Common

    The way I'm reading that is that they hadn't learned and trained people properly, so the statement is within remit and is justified?

    Motorway Driving - too many idiots

    Not a motorway, but I had a limpet right behind me coming downhill to this stretch of road once. You will observe the speed camera just round the corner; on this curve the road is wide enough for someone chancing it to overtake - I slowed down slightly just as I approached the curve ( well...

    HS2 Euston - Development, design and construction news (not speculation, please)

    Huw Merriman stated unambiguously in his recent Green Signals interview that the line will run to Euston... so yes, those tunnels will be built.

    Blackpool North platform staff

    Lymington Pier - the terminal - is unstaffed; it's Lymington Town that is staffed.

    Guess the Train...

    With any distinctive livery there will always be people spouting the individual number - you're not breaking any rules. Is there a 357 in a non-standard livery like this...?

    Eurotunnel operator, GetLink offers to subsidise new cross-Channel rail services

    I don't think the loading gauge on HS1 is generous enough for that is it? At least not with the standard shuttle vehicles; they could of course build some to match the line but I don't think they could then get them big enough to carry HGVs?

    Guess the Train...

    In that case I'll try 390 119... on the assumption that it's my giving a specific unit number....

    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    I've just seen a message saying that 455 868 ( with 455 909 ) is working Waterloo - Basingstokes today although this isn't showing up on RTT and the detailed view of the train itself shows no allocation details... Is this correct? 455s on the Basingstoke run? 11.23 Basingstoke to Waterloo...

    National Railway Museum Changes

    I think it's off to the NRM's other location at Shildon until the new locomotive management contract is awarded.

    Accommodation suggestions and reviews

    The licence application is in the name of Crewe Arms Management Limited; that would imply it's now a standalone business?

    2024 Local, Mayoral and PCC Elections

    There is no way I would trust the Royal Mail to deliver a postal vote on time, to the right location or even at all. It will always be the trudge to the polling station for me.

    Trivia: Road name changes

    If that used to be what I suspect it used to be with one letter different in the first word and another word between the two words, there is apparently one of those somewhere in the country which still carries the original name - but there's no way I'm going to go and try to search for it. I'm...
