    Class 442 from existing mk3

    Cab and MK3 painting started. Unfortunately fitting a motor to the MK3 undercarriage wasn't as easy as I'd hoped. I have put part of Hornby HST in there so I can drop in an old ring field motor. But the so called "plastic glue, fast dry" is rubbish. Just barely sticks it together. Glued it...

    Has this ballast at Moulsecoomb had it?

    Some photos from twitter of the flooding at Moulsecoomb today, although probably not as big as some other parts of the network https://twitter.com/SouthernRailUK/status/1742956370775646413 I post this though because the condition of the ballast is crap. I've reported this to NR in the last and...

    Surely the case is now much stronger for Bere Alston - Tavistock - Okehampton!

    First train into Meldon Quarry for a long time! Some sort of ballast working I'm guessing https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train.php/?c=B29692&d=2024-01-15

    What does a Passenger Host do? GTR

    Never been involved as railway staff but as I have a redundancy coming up in the new year I have applied. I can see some other threads mention revenue protection, the job page also mentioned this but the term "passenger host" is a bit ambiguous and sounds like just standing around greeting...

    Stations with roads inside

    Eastbourne immediately comes to mind. Used for taxis and buses but I think cars go in too.

    Why do all of DB's cross-channel freight services run as VSTP?

    Seems the 2311 runs as headcode "4427" most days, as others also similarly run to the same headcode. So there's obviously some sort of regular timetable thing here, and not just some random train ID. My guess is it's to stop people checking train times in France and trying to get a lift into...

    Emergency speed restrictions to TSR

    Hi How long does it take for an ESR to be changed to a TSR, of ever / necessary? My understanding was that if an ESR was still active by the next weekly operating notice, the ESR gets changed to a TSR and included in the WON. But I've had a ESR dalek erected on my local line for weeks and it...

    DC Rail Qualified Driver

    Out of curiosity where is their main hub? DCR locos never seem to be in one particular location, not a huge fleet size and rather large coverage despite their name

    Southern Class 313 withdrawal/storage/scrapping updates

    Does anyone know why decommissioned units like the 313s and 455s get graffiti on hove Yard, yet the stabled units like 377 and 387 rarely seem to get tagged? Obviously this happens at night so just wondering why the latter don't seem to be targeted as much, given the 313s have moved today with...

    Ranking three southern England preserved railways

    Depends if you're arfter diesel or steam. 1) Bluebell is probably best for the views and running distance, I like that they now have a 73. 2) spa valley used to be fantastic for diesel variety, I think it's still quite good. Especially when they have galas 3) I've always seen KESR quite...

    20901 & 20905

    Unusual headcode for the load which doesn't appear to be ecs but rather a small wagon of sorts? Didn't get a picture except this from Facebook. Is that signal mounted onto the wagon? A new type of in-but-out of cab signalling ?
