The article is total rage bait. This has been known about for 7 to 8 years. It listed on the TfW FAQs. It's simply Wales On Line trying to get clicks. The trams won't have toilets. Just as on the Newcastle lines that became Metro, the Altrincham and Bury lines which became Metrolink and the...

Thank you. I couldn't find how to link a thread.

If you are wondering where the photos and video have gone, the admins have set up a thread in the Photography section and moved them. I would guess test runs will get back into swing once the Easter holidays are over. Just keep looking at the Rail schedules

This is the video that goes with the photo. 398005 at 13:15 at Taffs Well

The times are on Realtime trains, just search Detailed and STP and they all come up.

Indeed it has. 398005 at Taffs Well this lunchtime. Video will follow

Just went past the Crewe cameras. There must be a reason for getting them back on and ready for use.

For info 37884 has just towed 769452 from Crewe IED to the South Yard. The unit has had its pantograph refitted and is debranded.

Maybe totally unrelated but 5Z41 is three Varamis rail 321's heading to Wembley. It is possible they are picking up the 325's to tow back north? Passing the Crewe webcam at about 09:50.

Just seen a video of a 37 dragging 319373, the Orion parcels unit, through Newport to SIMMs for scrap

Seen a proposal this morning for a Liverpool to Rhoose open access service down the Marches. They are talking about using 222's (again) so that's a possibility for the 180's. Or convert them to Open Access sleepers so if they do break down then at least people can sleep through it

Couple of points. This part of the network is devolved, so it's down to TfW to do this. However they will also need the crossover at Penarth to maintain the frequency.This is still under Network Rail so they aren't hurrying. A passing place would be needed at Rhiwbina for this to work and I...

Thank you

I am just checking up on the location of S160'd in the UK. I'm giving a talk about the US Army Rail shop Battalion at Newport who serviced these in WW2. One at Dartmouth Railway 2253 Omaha One at KWVR 8758 Three at Churnet Valley 5197, 6046 and 3278 And the three from the Nottingham Heritage...

What about the ex TPE Mk5s with a 93? They are available and a rake of 5 with a DVT would work until the 80x are available
