Thanks

CRU is the 3 letter designation of Falls of Cruachan station. Confusing that it is also being used for Craignure.

Thanks everyone for the replies. suspect that DC motors may not be being overhauled as the plan is to replace them but they are failing faster than they are being replaced

So they are not able to use any serviceable DC motors that come off trains being converted to AC motors or are there just not enough being replaced?

I assume it is the DC motors that are failing so with 5 trains at Acton being converted to AC motors I would expect that there should be 5 trains worth of DC motors available for use as spares at any one time? Or am I missing something. Confused..

Thanks

I am confused by the TFL website. My 12 year old granddaughter is travelling with her parents Wembley Park to South Kensington return off peak soon. A zip oyster is £15 which would give free travel but is expensive. Cash is £3.30 Adult contactless is £3.20 For simplicity, registering...

Saw London sleeper leave Newcastle empty? At about 10:30

Is my memory playing tricks? Was there not a suggestion of switching the freight lines from west side to eat side happening north of Leicester? The main lines to use the east side island platform at Leicester and the slows using the west side island.

Announcing the start of the process to refurbish the 360’s would have been worth the fuss, not just a mascot

Kings Cross Thameslink platforms retained for emergecies

Wimbledon to West Croydon. Converted to tram

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway at Wirksworth have.

I used to use powerline but they needed rebooting fairly oftenand the Wi-Fi from them was not great. I now have 3 BT disks and not only is it a more stable setup but they cope with large number of devices unlike the Virgin hub (which now has its Wi-Fi switched off)

Travelling to France, Kent, Gatwick or Brighton from Derby is one change at present. Do I want to go to Euston and then have to walk across London to get to St Pancras - no thank you! It will not be any quicker or easier. MML electrification will improve these journeys. Sheffield and further...

No I am not saying electrification should only be for freight, I am saying the main justification in this case is for freight from Southampton to Reading and beyond.

Electrification is for freight I believe, any passenger benefit is just icing on the cake if they make use of it
