Not until 323s are deployed en masse on Manchester Airport to Blackpool North services. More 331s will be required in Yorkshire for the December timetable change when six car working begins, so the transfer will probably happen in November. The current plan is to see the 323's duties in the West...

Would I be right assuming that along with the Kalmar services being replaced by CAF EMUs, the only haulage out of Gothenburg will be the sleeper train to Duved and Umeå and the illusive TAGAB train to Stockholm via Karlstad?

Hello, what worked 4Q03 2328 Kings Norton Ot Plant Dept to Kings Norton Ot Plant Dept this morning? Many thanks in advance!

Am I right in thinking that there is no interworking between the West Midlands to London and Holyhead/Chester to London services?

730008 and 730009 as posted on Facebook.

That would give the following workings 0607 Birmingham New Street to Lichfield Trent Valley 0709 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 0830 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 1009 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 1129 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 1309 Lichfield Trent Valley to...

One thing that I would advise would be to have a European style plug for any electronic device you bring rather than using an adapter. I remember using an adapter on an X2000, fitted with the same seats and presumably plug sockets as the locomotive hauled coaching stock and having the earth...

From my experience and what I've seen online is that when trains run late in Sweden, they can run very late, 75 minutes for me arriving in Umeå from Stockholm.

They’re mandatory on Intercity trains as well. So much for the X40s having an interior layout designed with short hop journeys in mind. Sweden is also partially covered by Wagon Web’s train compositions page. https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/?&lang=en

All of the above look correct, the only other SJ daytime locomotive haulage I can think of is Kalmar to Göteborg. In addition there are the Snåltaget Stockholm to Malmö and illusive TAGAB Stockholm to Göteborg via Karlstad services which I believe can only be booked through SJ's website...

I don’t think there’s much of a need for more frequent trains from St Pancras to the East Midlands, more a need for longer trains all throughout the day. If there were to be any new destinations they should be extensions of the existing Nottingham and Sheffield services to provide better...

Is anything infrastructure wise going to happen between December 2024 and December 2025? The only possible thing I can think of is maybe the new platforms at Darlington opening but maybe even that won't happen.

An example of the driver making an announcement for the beginning of 320 kph running can be seen here.

I would imagine that the Paris to Zurich services would be re-routed to run from Paris Est and along LGV Est towards Strasbourg, before heading south along the Alsace plain to resume their usual route at Mulhouse. Correct me if I'm wrong but this was the route used prior to the construction of...

It’s been mentioned earlier regarding testing, but a 195 did work a return trip from Leeds to Bradford Forster Square on a strike day a while back.

Perhaps having letters arranged in order has been deemed more suitable given that part of a ticket machine's role is to type in reference numbers (or letters) to collect pre-paid tickets, a role for which QWERTY keyboards are redundant given that you're not typing out words.

Or local door operation because the platform is that short.

I seem to remember some OHLE-specific piles being drilled at White Rose a while back, with the structure installed at a later date.

I'd say that adding an additional Newcastle service is pretty necessary given how impressive Edinburgh/Newcastle to London loadings have been post-Covid, so an additional service starting from Newcastle will alleviate some of the crowding. If AP tickets for these services are reasonably priced...

I remember someone from the school I used to go to had the bright idea to try and pull the doors of a Class 321 open when it was on the move which triggered an emergency stop.
