    2U20 1050 Penzance to Cardiff Central (28/11)

    I’m currently waiting at Weston Super Mare for the above service however it is just showing as “delayed” on the screens. Does anyone know why it seems to be stopped at Highbridge & Burnham? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P76936/2023-11-28/detailed#allox_id=0

    (Uncofirmed?) Reports of explosive devices found on tracks near Newton-le-Willows

    I can’t currently see a thread on this but I came across this tweet which seems to include a picture taken of some kind of internal system/log https://twitter.com/rmtliv5/status/1570668214295855104?s=46&t=Ctg0bbsI3rPjKhaFGFUiOA (I’m on mobile so apologise for not directly posting the image...

    Voyagers Idling at Birmingham New Street

    This week due to engineering works at Water Orton the Cross Country NE-SW services are diverted via Lichfield, with trains scheduled longer dwell times at Derby and New Street for the the trains to pick up the path of what would be the following train for the rest of the journey. Southbound...

    TfL Streetdeck/Gemini Hybrids

    Would I be right in saying that the Wright integral Streetdeck hybrids are the ones with a conventional layout and backseat downstairs, with the Wright bodies Volvo hybrids having a more odd layout? Or have I got it the wrong way around? Are there any other ways of easily telling them apart?

    07/08: 1B85 Scunthorpe - Manchester Airport

    http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y00289/2015/08/07/advanced I arrived onto platform 6 at Sheffield this evening at around 1715 to see the above service formed of 2x185, with the rear set locked OOU (I don't think the engines in the rear seat were on, but that could be eco-mode deceiving...

    How customisable is SWT Desiro PIS?

    On these trains, are the guards (or drivers?) able to type what is displayed on the exterior destination screen? Just wondering because I saw a Reading 450 at Feltham this morning with something I assume isn't what it normally shows (nothing bad of course - I liked it!)

    LO Class 317 diagrams

    I'm heading down to London this week and wouldn't mind riding on a 317/7 for the first time and so I'm wondering if anyone has access to the LO Class 317 diagrams? I understand they're mainly found at peak times? Thanks in advance

    27/06: 1E60 Southampton - Newcastle

    Does anyone know why this train was cancelled north of Birmingham (I saw on the NRE app that it was already cancelled north of NS at around 4.30-5). RTT says "This service was cancelled between Birmingham New Street and Newcastle due to a problem with the overhead line power collection...

    AnsaldoBreda V250 (Fyra)

    Does anyone know what happened/is happening to these trains? Scrapped or are AnsaldoBreda hoping to sell them on?! :lol: And also what is currently running on HSL-Zuid? Just Thalys? What is the long term plan? Thanks, I realise I'm asking a lot of questions :p

    Long Eaton Flooding

    Does anyone know whereabouts this actually is, as NRE just says 'near long eaton.' I am just curious as there are no trains between Nottingham and Derby, yet London trains are running normally (with some delays) between Derby/Nottingham - East Mids Parkway?

    What could cause an emergency brake application?

    I'm on a Chiltern class 168/2 at the moment and a few minutes ago we experienced a very sharp break application (emergency brake I thought?) and we came to a stop. It was only a second before we started moving again and there was an announcement shortly after saying that the 'sharp stop was...

    1F92 0809 Kidderminster - Marylebone

    Would I be right in saying this is a clubman? Would anyone happen to know whether this is a 3 or 4 car set on M-F or are they not diagrammed seperately? Thanks in advance for any help :)

    Chiltern Birmingham - London

    Do all Chiltern 168s have sockets and are they at every seat? Do the MK3s have sockets outside of the business zone and are they at every seat or only at tables

    Class 378/1

    So I was on a pendolino arriving into Euston yesterday and I could've sworn that I saw a 378/1 on a Watford DC service, but I am assuming that I just misread the number since I'm not sure how it would've got there? Do 378/1s ever work on the DC line?

    Tramlink: Stadler Variobahns

    As these are now in service I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not these trams are used in a common pool with the rest of the trams and can therefore be found anywhere on the network? A quick look on flickr seems to tell me they are only found on routes 1 & 4 serving Elmers End? Is this...
