    Chiltern Loco Hauled Diagrams from May

    Does anyone have these? I realise Chiltern won't go to Kiddy anymore at all from May, I'm assuming this means there'll be a total rejig of the diagrams.

    Why do British Highway Engineers Hate Free-Flow Junctions?

    The continental country whose roads I'm more familiar with is Portugal, but also done my share of driving in the US and Canada. As per the thread title, it seems that only under duress will UK highway engineers vary the old "bung a roundabout on top" approach. Junctions that would get a...

    TfW 153s to Brum

    I've noticed occasionally we've been getting some 153s (usually a pair of a full-PRM unit with a /9) coming to Brum, usually coupled with a 158. Is this diagrammed, or is it just a case of a last minute sub? If it is diagrammed, can someone post the diagrams, please?

    Stations Which Give an Accurate Impression of the Town They Serve

    I don't know what the new one is like, since I haven't been to those parts in a while, but the old Londonderry Station was perfectly representative of the city :p

    CrossCountry 170s Availability

    I noticed that almost all of the Cardiff to Nottingham trains have only been operating with one unit, and there's even an out and back service with a Voyager deputising. Given the still reduced timetable this doesn't look great, have they been having availability issues?

    Hull Trains Class 802s

    Have these all carried passengers? Last time I looked at it, before the last time they restarted service in April, there was one unit that hadn't entered service yet, though I can't remember which one.

    Railway Implications of the 2021 Elections

    Thread specifically to discuss the railway implications, rather than the actual politics outwith the railway. My first guess is that Ben Houchen will get the Darlington station remodelling he's been pushing for!

    [Trivia] Stations with cats

    Simple as per the title. Include the cat's name if you know! I'll start with Huddersfield with Felix and Bolt, as everyone surely knows by now, and more local to me, Stourbridge Junction with lovely orange tabby George!

    Volunteering at Stations

    If anyone here knows y local station of Kings Norton, you'll know it has a disused island platform. That's covered in all kinds of rubbish, mostly dead tree branches and leaves. I've often thought it makes the whole place look rather grubby. I'd be happy to volunteer to clean it myself over a...

    Flashing Double Yellow Aspect

    I was walking along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal towpath, which runs alongside the cross city line, and saw something I didn't know existed before: a signal on the line was displaying a flashing double yellow aspect. What does this mean?

    Getting a Receipt From TfL Contactless

    Hope someone can help me with this. I'll be having to go from Euston to Heathrow next week as part of work travel, so I'll need a receipt to expense it. Is there a way to obtain a receipt from paying with a contactless credit card, or do I have to go through the rigmarole of buying a paper ticket?

    Post-May 2019 LNR 319 Diagrams

    I noticed the post on the frequently requested diagrams thread about these trains has not been up to date since December 2018. I assume since the number of 319s has more than doubled since then, the diagrams have done likewise? Can anyone shed any light on what they're going to be from Monday...
