What about 80001?

Finally! I know EMR wants them to a similar standard as the Auroras.

I believe TfW drivers did!

How were the Plaxton Profiles a disaster? With them being Volvos, I thought they would have been reliable.

I don't know if this is ok to ask in this thread rather than the Stagecoach West one but does anyone know what the 55 new E400 EV's for Oxford are displacing? From what i counted on the Stagecoach West fleet list for Oxford, the oldest vehicles in passenger service remaining would be E400 MMC's...

Ah right :) . I'm guessing the reason for the variety of new Stagecoach vehicle types including the Yutongs and 9700's on order is to see how each ones perform then fewer types ordered the following year.

Impressive I'd say! Does anyone know if Megabus benefits from the new orders? That seems to have gone quiet apart from the Panaromas.

What vehicles are expected to remain at Oxford Bus Company and Thames Travel? I counted the fleet list for these and the 99 new new Electroliners mean the oldest in the Oxford fleet would be most of the Wright StreetDecks. I would have thought the 55-reg Scania OmniDekkas, all B7TL's and...

I believe this was due to complaints from North Cotswolds line passengers. GWR mentioned that passengers travelling to Windsor & Eton Central basically normally took the fast services which they're not designed for they said hence the Elizabeth Line and 387's.

On 9 and 10-car IET's it's always Coach G that's unreserved. The double Voyagers (XC) it's also (when 10-car trains) both Coach H and L too.

Where can I find news about the 6-car workings?

I'll be honest, I don't get why the Thirsk - Aviemore Midland Pullman HST one (would join at Newcastle probably) couldn't go to Inverness as that's only about 30 minutes away and could easily return a little later. As it is, some if not all railtours only give you about 2-3 hours break.

Go onto a website called realtime trains and type in the station, date and time. When you see the list of departures from that station, go to 'DETAILED' and then click 'ZZ Freight services'. Hope this helps :) .

Interesting stuff :). Certainly better than paying an expensive train fare when you can pay just £2 from Oxford to travel on a leather-seated double-decker every hour!

I'm surprised at seeing the lengths that somebody or a few people on here are willing to go to to get the seat like wanting the BTP involved because the passenger won't move. Even I won't be daft enough to do that! My First Class seat reservation only from Didcot Parkway to Bristol Temple Meads...

On the 16:31 from Bristol Temple Meads to Edinburgh (10/09/23) on the 7-car HST, I was unaware my seat reservation in Coach G was 'Available'. A few were that. Not long after leaving Birmingham New Street, the train manager apologised that the seat reservations had failed to download. Also, he...

I was thinking the same (12 coaches) but I presume 200m and 400m trains will still run.

I understand that 250 more BYD / ADL E400 EV's have been ordered for the Bee Network for 2024/2025-2027 delivery. Given that the network will have mixtures of different models of different ages, are the 250 intended to replace all these and eventually convert the entire Bee Network to these...

I believe Regional Railways ran a 12:30 from Penzance to Birmingham New Street using a 2-car Class 158, formed off the 07:05 from Swindon.

Before the pandemic (for at least presumably 5 years up to 2019) XC did run an HST from York to Penzance at around 7:45am, arriving around 8 hours later. It returned at 16:25 to Leeds, arriving about 23:55. XC also ran an 07:05ish from Manchester to Newquay arriving around 14:30. It returned...
