Following a post by Yorkie in the Traction and rolling stock forum, have there been any further developments on the above topic?

Does anyone know what this is? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K91372/2018/07/16/advanced

I went through Bristol TM earlier today, the first day of operation after the Easter blockade, and noticed that the St Andrews Crosses have been replaced with back to back signals. What to me is less welcome is that a 10 mph Permanent Speed Restriction has been imposed through at least platforms...

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/reports-dead-finland-train-crash-50728075 A train collided with a military vehicle at an unguarded railroad crossing in southern Finland early Thursday, killing four people and injuring 11 others, officials said. The crash happened near Raseborg...

Today, 1C83 0706 Paddington to Penzance appears to have suffered a fault with the brakes between Westbury and Taunton, and was terminated at Exeter. The return working 1A89 1303 Penzance to Paddington was cancelled throughout as a result. Is the failure to provide a replacement unit at any...

Not sure whether this has been mentioned on here, but ÖBB have imposed a charge of €10 second class and €15 first class on the use of FIP free coupons on RJ, EC, IC, ICE and ICB trains (whatever the latter is). The charge only needs to be paid once for all journeys made in the 48 hr period. At...

Last Monday I returned from an enjoyable afternoon on the Severn Valley, and evening refreshment in Worcester, on the 2146 Worcester SH to Bristol TM, formed of one of the refurbished GWR 150s in green. This train is non stop from Gloucester to Bristol Parkway, and I was trying to think of a...

There seems to have been major problems Salisbury to Warminster this evening, anyone know what's been going on?

I gather the first Moorswater cement train since 2013 ran this morning, 6C35 0250 Aberthaw to Moorswater via Lostwithiel, loco 70808 + 15 PCA wagons. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H39070/2016/11/30/advanced

It appears the line is currently blocked near Lydney, which is doubly unfortunate as XC services between Cheltenham and Bristol Parkway are booked to be diverted this way. From RTT it looks as though 1M94 1042 Cardiff Cen to Nottingham was the train involved, as nothing has passed that way...

Picked up on RTT the Birmingham- Gloucester main line has been blocked since around 2130, and all subsequent trains cancelled, with 1V70 returning north. Anyone got any further details?

Just warning people that the above train is retimed 1-2 mins earlier than the normally advertised time between Plymouth and Taunton. I missed it at Exeter as a result tonight, but the voyager is right behind it, so it didn't matter to me. Back to normal on Friday. No idea why this was, probably...

I believe today's "Cathedrals Express" 1Z61 0858 Paddington to Cardiff via Gloucester hauled by B1 4-6-0 no. 61306 to have been the first steam hauled train over Reading Flyover. A somewhat inappropriate locomotive, but never mind! http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U55229/2015/03/01/advanced

On my journey north on the XC HST, I was surprised to see a Meridian at Derby with Crewe on its destination display, and on checking RTT it turned out to be 1K21 1642 Derby to Crewe. Does this happen often?

This has been mentioned in a couple of other threads, though I don't believe the significance has been recognised on here. There is a week long blockade between Castle Bromwich and Landor Street next month. Between Monday 17th Feb and Friday 21st Feb Nottingham Cardiff and Stansted Birmingham...

I'm planning a 2 week European bash over Christmas, which will include 2 countries I haven't previously visited, Poland and Hungary. To get between them I'm looking at travelling throughout on EIC 131, and was wondering whether anyone on here has experience of this train. I will be using FIP...

There appeared to be a large film crew on the concourse and platforms at Waterloo as I boarded the 1315 Waterloo to Exeter today. The gateline staff were nowhere to be seen and one of the film crew allowed me through to board the train. Anyone know what was going on?

Does anyone know the reason for the delay between Berwick and Newcastle today?

For many years, FGW have been making some very well publicised cancellations and truncations of services on the South Wales main line in order to provide trains to serve Cheltenham Festival. What is the opinion of forum members on this, as I believe the practice is unique (at least midweek) in...

I observed 56312 pulling a single immaculate blue and grey Mk3 with Chiltern Railways branding through Bristol Parkway eastbound at about 1745. Anyone got details of where from and to ?
