    4920 Dumbleton Hall going to Japan?

    The restoration of Hagley Hall shows what could have been achieved with Dumbleton Hall if there had ever been some desire to see it steamed again.

    Hastings Line operating restrictions

    I thought that I had read somewhere that T Wells is now a 10 car restriction after the opening of the siding.

    Hastings Line operating restrictions

    Are there any operating restrictions on the Hastings Line south of Tonbridge?I was thinking of Tunbridge Wells where part of the platform is unusable on platform two.

    GWR Intercity Express Train (IEP) initial diagrams & allocations

    1018 Paddington to Cardiff is yet again a single Cl800. This is the first super cheap train so why put only a five car on it?

    GWR Intercity Express Train (IEP) initial diagrams & allocations

    Does anybody have a listing of the South Wales diagrams? Most of my recent travel on this route should have been two five cars but often it has been downgraded to only one..

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    No trains serving any of the intermediate stations between Redhill and Tonbridge today because it is alleged Southern forgot to book any of the paths.

    Explosion on train at Parsons Green, 15/9/17

    I have been concerned of the effects of a fire or terrorist incident on stock that is open its' entire length. Was this considered before this design was introduced? Any smoke or blast can easily contaminate the entire train rather than being contained in one carriage.

    Historical passenger flow data

    This route is not of great commercial significance and has never had any competitors.The usage data is being used to formulate the timetable for trains that I use.

    Historical passenger flow data

    Thank you for all your responses. I was looking for data from around 1992 when Redhill to Tonbridge was electrified.There was a drive at the time to get people from Kent to use it to get to Gatwick.I think numbers have declined since Southern were given it to operate.

    Historical passenger flow data

    I am interested to see any old data as well as more contemporary. Where do I find the data you mention?

    Historical passenger flow data

    I was just wondering if there are any sources that show historical passenger data along certain routes?The route I am interested in is the old Southeastern route from Ashford to Reading and the major towns aling the route.

    Edenbridge

    Does anybody know why the Up platform at Edenbridge on the line to Redhill has a lot of boarding behind the railings?

    London Bridge incident (03/06)

    My wife was at London Bridge on Friday afternoon when there was an incident due to a suspect package.The instruction was to evacuate the station,but she found the prospect of having to go down a steep escalator from the platform into a large dark hall with only a few exits was not the wisest...
