Any idea why i'm seeing more buses recently without destination blinds working? Sometimes just a plain number stuck in the windscreen or nothing at all!

Can I ask please, as a relative amateur with limited knowledge....I visited parents at home in the Rhondda over Christmas and can see the new OLE in place - they look really close together compared to equipment used for example on the WCML which i'm used to seeing. Is there any reason why the...

Thanks for your quick replies...this was on a 2+3 170 out of New Street to Burton. I had a 2+3 going down at lunchtime...almost a decent service!!

Hi all Random question..did the 170s have internal sliding doors at one point? On one now and there are covered over 'sensors' under the digital displays plus what looks like a metal cover over something at waist height where a 'door' button could be...answers on a postcard!

Hi all, not been on the train for a while..just noticed and meant to post.. Why are the the XC and Avanti voyagers covered in grey spots? Is it a cover up for rust? They seem to be all over the carriages. Also coming past Bombardier in Burton this afternoon, at least 6 sets of both XC and...

I'm really interested in sampling this, but a little confused by actually booking it. I need to book a little in advance due to work commitments, but there doesn't seem to be an option to confirm a pullman dining booking when you buy a ticket. Is it the case that if I book a first class seat I...

Thanks for the information

Thanks for this! What was the reason for the delay? 1626814982 Sorry just seen the extra bit! Thanks - was it well filled?

Hi all, any news/photos of this diesel special which was on Sunday just gone from Lichfield to Buxton? What train was it? Well filled? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:44146/2021-07-18/detailed Looks to have been a very late departure!

Hi, I saw what looked like one of the Greater Anglia new trains running through Lichfield on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week at 12.13pm - would anyone have any idea what this actually was? Can't seem to identify on realtime but there are a few 'ZZ' codes around then. I've seen these a few...

Have any of the coaches been sold or advertised for sale privately? In particular the Buffet cars...they would surely make a great cafe for someone, somewhere - or are there rules and regs about this sort of thing? Apart from the obvious cost in transport and getting a suitable base for them to...

Thanks for your reply!

Hi - how can I find the trains to have used the Ivanhoe line recently? I gather it will be freight only but just interested to see what's been using it in the last few months. Is there any way via realtimetrains? I'm in Burton so what's the location i'm looking for for timings? I've never seen a...

Thanks - I'd never have thought of that!

What's this on my journey between Euston and Lichfield on London Northwestern today? There are 6 in my coach, 3 on each side! Anyone help? Cheers!

The new service from Midland Classic sounds good - hopefully people will use it!

Thanks for your replies..so pretty much nothing after 10pm - that's a shame!!

Hi All, I'm sure i've seen West Midlands Trains or London North Western advertising new later trains from London, but looking online I can't find which these new services are. The latest I can see back to Tamworth/Lichfield/Burton areas is a 2200 from Euston. Is there anything later? I think...
