mods note - split from this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-43-disposals.214407/ Believe they use less fuel. Also less of a pain when cold as don't have a preheat requirement.

Just seen two yellow V200s in Verona but, as seems to be normal with infrastructure locos, there are absolutely no identifications on the locos. I know there were a number of V200s originally sold which ended up in Italy so trying to identify these two may be clutching at straws but if anyone...

Is there a cheap local ticket I can get for travel around Porto that would allow me to do 1400 and 2600 hauled trains? It's just to save me using an interrail day.

Anyone know if there are any remaining passenger diagrams for Siena allocated 445s please? Any info appreciated. If there are, which locos are still serviceable? Thanks in advance.

This has come up in Russia invading Ukraine thread where suggestion about relying on cheap oil and gas from Russia could be overcome by small nuclear power plants but are these the answer? Nuclear waste remains radioactive effectively for ever but dwindles over thousands of years until can be...

I've noticed a lot of concrete electrification masks in various countries in mainland Europe, can anyone explain why, please? I would have thought concrete was a poor material for these masts and more expensive to manufacture? Obviously there must be some benefits? Not fitting with environmental...

Does anyone have an up to date list of the 2044s left I traffic with HZPP please? Trying to find out how many are left that I can still get!

Quick question, I'm taking my nephews, who will both be 15 at the time, to Italy and using high speed and Inter-City trains, do they still count as child fares as some sites say 14 and some say 15 inclusive? Went to get it right before buy tickets. Thanks in advance.

I'm planning on heading for Australia next year but have absolutely no experience so any information anyone has would be gratefully received. I have about 4 weeks and would like to stop of somewhere in Asia in the way out, if anyone knows of a country with a bit of interesting railway action...

What a pile of junk the new DB website is. On the old one I could click on a station and it would give me all departures for next hour; not any more unless someone has worked out how to do it? Are there any other timetable sites that I can use as DB one is no good anymore?

I know there was the Black Friday offer; usually have an offer on interrail tickets around New Year but seen nothing yet. Anyone know if there are likely to be offers on soon or is that not happening this year?

Can anyone shed any light on the apparent numbering of Vectrons (193s)? Seems to be very few low numbered ones yet I've seen 193999! Obviously they didn't start at 001 and go upwards; any reason why not? As an aside DB's 245s seem to have a gap from around 028 to 035, assume they were a possible...

Can anyone recommend a website or contact that can obtain tickets for the Istanbul to Sofia train in advance? I found one (Discover by Rail) but I asked a few questions and he's thrown a strop on me, won't answer my questions and now asked me to stop contacting him without giving me a reason.

Just been to Romania and was wondering how much work was done on the class 60 diesels when converted to 64/66s (originally 65/63s)? Maybe a better question would be how much of the original loco is left as seems a lot of new bodywork?

Off out to Germany next month and know there have been a lot of loco hauled trains vice units in some areas. Looking for info as seems a lot don't run in April either because units are taking over or there's track maintenance. Would anyone have a definitive list, please, of the loco hauled vice...

Apologies if this is in wrong thread but was wondering if anyone had access to information on 201s in Ireland. Just wondering which locos are out tomorrow (Friday 10th) and Saturday. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am planning to travel on EN40462 from Vienna in early April and it appears to have a vastly increased journey time compared to when I've used it before. All seems reasonably normal to Salzburg but then takes over 3 hours to get to Innsbruck, anyone know why? Is it being diverted via a...

I have a query about ticket validity on the Railair coach link from Reading to Heathrow. We are travelling with interrail tickets using the outward journey trip to get to Heathrow Airport; is this valid on Railair? If not what's the supplement? Thanks for any info.

Are there any diagrams for e300 sets to Brussels or are they just on Paris route?

Have a query about ex Yugoslavian Railways 664062. Was reported as stored at Fushe Kosove depot in Kosovo and have found a photo of it in 2015. Was wondering if anyone knew if it's still there or has it been scrapped in the meantime?
