From my knowledge every other place in England which has a railway line that branches off LNER's main routes to Leeds and Scotland has 1 service first things in the morning to London Kings Cross. Lincoln has one, Bradford Foster Square has one, Skipton has one, Harrogate has one, besides...

On The North York Moors Railways they have these mileposts that say Rillington Junction. After Pickering it starts from 7 miles meaning the first 6 must have been along the Malton to Pickering line which no longer exists. Wondering what ever happened to the first 6 mileposts. If the're still...

Not the original game. In Railroad Tycoon 2 you start off in about 1805 with a really slow loco known as a Trevithick-1 before Stephenson's Rocket comes along in 1829. This must have been one of the first locos ever. Apparently they did exist in real life from 1804. If it's the one I'm...

Last of all just for you here is the USA list which has 11 locos from over there in the game. 1. 0-4-0 Grasshopper (1830s) 2. 4-2-0 Norris (1834) 3. 4-4-0 American (Late 19th Century Wild West Loco) 4. 2-6-0 Mogul (1864) 5. 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler (1860s) 6. 2-8-0 Consoldiation (1870s) 7. 4-6-2...

Here's the Europe list as well for those who are more brainy. Europe starts with the British locos in 1900 then introduces Europe ones after the A4 Class and ends at the year 2000 1. 6/6 GE Class Crocodile (1921 Swiss Electric Loco) 2. 1-Do-1 Class E18 (1935 Dutch Electric Loco) 3. 4-8-4 242 A1...

I've been playing the 1990 Amiga game Railroad Tycoon and I'm wondering how many of the 10 vintage locos from England scenario (1828 - 1928) are still left in real life. 1. 2-2-0 Planet (Built in October 1830) 2. 2-2-2 Patentee (1835 to 1845) 3. 4-2-0 Iron Duke Class (1847) 4. 0-6-0 DX Goods...

Speaking as someone who's exempt from wearing face masks I think they should be made optional now. I was on the North York Moors railway a couple of weeks ago and some people took them off when sitting down in the carriage. Other people seem to love wearing the masks. I've had people even...

Would have been good to see them use Northallerton West in use so people could travel from the East Coast Mainline to Garsdale. I'm sure they did it not too long ago around 2016. It was closed again due to a collision.

There's platform 8 at York Railway Station which has electric wires for an electric train but never gets any electric trains going from it.

Any ideas on when heritage railways will reopen? I can only guess it will be about August this summer and a maximum of around 10 people per carriage allowed. Some may open before others too. Smaller lines such as The Middleton Railway in Leeds might stay closed until next year.

I planned a trip with my Dad to ride the Newcastle Metro from the best stop off the A19 into Newcastle city centre. There's a choice of 2 different tram stops. As I'm Autistic I've had to have a look at both locations on the Google Street View app so I know what to expect. South Hylton looks...

The only website on Ribble Valley Railway that I can find is this. www.ribblesteam.org.uk

Soon I'll be using the Manchester Metrolink tram park and ride to get into Manchester city centre. This is as my Dad doesn't want to drive into Manchester. I need Advice on which is the best one to use coming in from the Yorkshire end near the M62.

I never knew that there were through trains from Scarborough to Whitby only stopping at Robin Hoods Bay in the summer.

I'm looking for some train times for the historical railways in North Yorkshire that ceased operating during the beaching period before 1970. So far I found a restaurant on the outskirts of Scarborough has a rail departure timetable for Scarborough on their wall from around summer 1961. It...

I'm a big fan of dance music and it's just come to mind that there's a music video filmed in what I think is London Kings Cross station. It's called Take Me Away by the dance group Culture Beat if you try searching for it through YouTube. It shows footage speeded up of the 125s in their...

I've never ridden on this new tram route that goes to Rotherham from Sheffield yet. I would like to know if catching it from the tram stop at Valley Centertainment is the best option. It avoids the busy city centre and the route doesn't go from Meadowhall next to where the railway station is...

Is Sandwich in Kent without a railway station?

Yes the thread has been put in the right context now. I'm always unsure about where and what to post but that's what I meant. Lines that have electric wires above them but have never seen any electric traction like platform 8 in York.

Wonder if there are some electrified platforms with no electric locos in Leeds.
