Iirc used daily especially on the London Blackfriars to Beckenhan junction services operated by Southeastern

What happened to the blue 319/769 that went testing around Kilmarnock.

2. The simple answer is the distant is showing a proceed aspect, so in actulal facrt you'd be passing aspect 1&3 at danger.

Who wouldn't love a HST back in the mix. Is there any ex XC sets left in storage. Would MK5a's be allowed on the MML, iirc mk 4 coaches are not.

Sorted and thank you.

Silly question time does the route from BR1 have 2 available routes onto the down slow. 1 via the diamond (turn left)and straight out on to the down slow. 2. Straight through the diamond onto the up slow, then via Denbeigh hall north jn onto the down slow.

Can you not recieve main plus the route onto R1. 1751018536 Track looks quite out of place by the points. That's going to take some sorting.

Is there a diamond crossing under the front unit (looking at google maps). From the video online it looked to be heading Northbound.

Ah that's why it says OTP on signalling maps.

Currently no speed restrictions between either of these points, only works currently happening is the replacement of the foot bridge at Salfords station. Major issues yesterday at East Croydon due to points failure. Due to both the Caterham/Tattenham and Tonbridge closed could be something...

Just saw the video. Lots of sand coloured dust being kicked up at lift off, I wonder if they only just cleared the runway end at takeoff. Looking on Google maps there does appear to be a large sandy area at the end of the runway.

Gear down after take off is pretty common, if you have a brake isolated (per MEL), gear stays down for a set period of time to allow the wheel to stop spinning. Also the low flap setting, there have been cases where the flaps are retracted instead of the gear.

Thameslink St Albans Add London Blackfriars to London Bridge Drivers learning it already

I honestly thought the forum was older than 20. I remember reading it whilst at home under 18. I've worked on the railway just over 20 years, and thought I joined the forum before I started on the railway. Is this because we had to re-sign up a few times. Anyway happy birthday

I never accelerate at more than 60% power 60% brake as it's just not needed.

Us 700 drivers struggle behind those aged 222's and 360's out of London. Can keep the 222's honest until Radlett. 700's do not hold 100mph as the power controller has to be constantly adjusted, older desiro units 350's looking at you, can leave the power controller wide open and the unit will...

Even longer when you go via Streatham

Not seen it mentioned, but the not to call could have come from station staff. Informing Network rail of the situation on the platforms, and safely routing the train away from the overcrowded platforms. The driver and TM would have no say. There is zero point in sending the overcrowded service...

Any news on when the 360's refurbs will start.

Hopefully this is what happened, lowering the speed significantly. But in the pictures and video I can't see where the tractor ended up.
