Hi, could anyone confirm which Class 376 was allocated to the 17:12 Cannon Street to Gravesend via Woolwich on 22/03/2024? Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. Apologies, I don't really know locomotives. I had read about it in the past and the post was made quickly without verifying. I think that Class 37 idea came from the fact they have hauled Mk2 coaches in recent years. Doesn't matter too much as Class...

I am 23 and I'm trying to figure out train trips I did when I was younger. Online research suggests Class 37s operated Summer Saturday Heart of Wessex services during the 2000s. We did a trip to Weymouth at some point and looking at images, a Mark 2 carriage would fit with my recollection...

Hi there, would someone be able to confirm the unit used on yesterdays (10/12) 20:45 London Euston to Watford Junction please? It should have been a 710. On such a short journey, forgot to check which specific one! Thanks in advance

Cheers!

Hi there, would someone be able to confirm the unit used on todays (17/07) 08:41 London Paddington to Reading please? It was an Elizabeth 345, was unable to catch which specific one!

Hi there, Would someone be able to confirm the units used on todays (01/06) 18:07 Dorking to London Victoria please? Thanks in advance

By replacing with a direct replacement of 3-car all round, there is a lot of wasted cabs which is why I made the suggestion of 3-car and 5-car allowing flexible formations. In my limited experience (I live on this line) it has been quiet West of Salisbury outside of peak times so hence my...

In a theoretical sense, would it be possible to run a Liverpool - Birmingham - Reading - Gatwick service? I.e. is there track capacity? I only ask because I know there is talk of a third North Downs services but wouldn't know about the rest of the route. It could take over an existing...

I would propose a mixed fleet of 3-car and 5-car bi modal units for the West of England routes. Services on the London route could be run as 3+5 or 5+5 with one portion detaching at Salisbury. The 5-car would continue beyond Salisbury but at quieter times a 3-car could be used. 3-car units would...

That makes so much sense thank you. Should have realised aha.

Without wishing to start a new thread for something which is so minor, I notice the 5-car Class 800s have white striping around their doors but not the 9-car variants or the Class 802s. Is there a reason for this? I think it's quite smart myself but strange it isn't applied fleet wide. I am...

Thank you all for your informative replies. Some interesting points which I hadn't considered and definitely puts things in perspective.

Hi, I have some questions regarding the aforementioned class types. Class 158s are a long-distance train - they are called the Express Sprinter - and are designed with long distance in mind. Can we class Class 170s as a long distance train too? Were they intended to augment Class 158s? Or was...

Hi, could anyone tell me the unit number for 15:27 XC Plymouth to York yesterday? Many thanks in advance.
