Be careful pgat, someone might say that rail was a lot better before the beeching cuts! ;) I personally think that not only rail, but public transport as a whole in the uk needs to be better ran with a far greater system implemented for better integration hubs with rail/bus/transit/Road. I...

Just out of interest traction is booked to go down the wired Aston-Stechford in Birmingham? I have a sneaking suspicion it might be used for ecs moves, can anyone confirm this?

Can Wolverhampton (high level) be classed losing a suffix? Also Leamington spa, far as I recall it gained a suffix (and lost another) as the the station originally opened as Leamington, had spa added to it after and then the name was changed again to Leamington Spa General.

When it happens, Heinz are going to charter a train from Manchester Piccalilli to the new siding :D

I travelled from Birmingham international this afternoon to Rugby, and there was blockage between there (bhm international) and Berkswell southbound, but it was the other way around though. An avanti pendolino service had an issue/fault near berkswell (that service got delayed by 25 minutes)...

A town only with a paltry 10,000 , Desborough also has the MML running through it, used to have a station though but on that site it's a co-op car park (And a good one to spot at too :) )

Good Morning all If it's all about saving money whilst still running the railway in an effiicent manner, surely it should be a case of looking at the top of the food chain to see whom is earning the most for doing very little, as i'd dare say that there maybe people whom work within the railway...

Not too sure if this the right place to post this, but if the idea is put the xc services into moor st to make easier conectivity with hs2 at curzon street, will there be capacity issues with local services that serve the snow hill lines, or will they be pathed into new street? It's just that i...

There is something about the new signage that I find odd, but I can not think why that is so! Just out of interest, when GBR is in full control, will the split regions have different signage, or will it be the same right across the land?

No, i was think more along the lines of this

My suggestion would be by having a rather large tent structure travel around the various towns and cities ;)

I thought that too, but i do not know if the station Rd that goes to the old Elmesthorpe Station is a continuation of the road of the same name that's in Earl Shilton (As there are few roads in between them!). Now there is a new addition , Station Avenue at Houlton in Rugby. It's a new...

Tbh 1 Cryonista idea would be tunnelling under the city and having a "underground" style platforms under New street for Local cross-birmingham services, and put the further local west midlands services into Snow hill/Moor Street which in return would free up Inter-city services (In theory)...

Hello all I was wondering if someone can shed some light on something for me, last week I purchased a open return from Rugby to Axminster, from Trainline. I am now on the outward journey, which was last Sunday; it sent me via Watford Junction and Clapham junc on Avanti, Southern and south west...

Along with @atochopefull, we applied both at the same time, but i never heard anything back from WMT about the postition for a trainee senior conductor, either yay or nay (i went onto the abellio careers portal and it was still open/green), the only contact i have had from then was yesterday...

Well i have only done the test today, so i guess i will not hear anything until after the weekend, that is if i pass the online test!

Hello atochopefull Just wondering if you had an email about inviting you to take apart in the next stage of application process by doing a linked online assessment? I originally applied for the role a few weeks back, and had a email come through on tuesday saying about this which needs to be...

I saw this thread earlier on, and i've just finally got around to applying for it, good luck as well to all whom have applied or are applying.

There has been yet another bridge strike tonight, on Little Glen road, Glen parva (on the Nuneaton-Leicester line) featuring a eddie stobart driver thinking he could squeeze his lorry underneath the bridge in the evening rush hour -luckily the approach to it is at a very low speed (Compaired to...

Maybe they should of opted for a two-time (black and white)livery for those specials they might do ;) For me the livery should not of Been including green, as it looks too similar to the London North westerns colour scheme. Surely Ferrari red would of been a better option? :D
