I've been trying to see if such a thing is possible. Just using second generation DMUs. My ideal is the whole journey to be completed using only 15X classes. 14X no longer in use. 165/166 I would class as second generation. I'm not sure if 170s are classed as such. I don't count them as being...

Oh wow! Which service was she working when the tree was struck? There were delays to the services she worked last Saturday but nothing major. +19 being the latest arrival. Weather was terrible last Saturday, so most likely day for tree fall to happen. Though she did end up +72 at Helmsdale on...

Thanks, Was doubting myself that'd 706 had slipped out of Inverness without me noticing. Hence the post but good to hear your pretty sure she was inside the depot Monday night.

Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Not sure which sub thread to use. I've been following the whereabouts of 158706 since January using RTT. As the data on RTT only goes back one week, I write up what services she works so I have an overview of 2021 for 706. She was on the Far North...

Clitheroe to Morecambe in FNW days. Between 2002-04, I used to get it most days from Bamber Bridge going to college in Preston. It was booked for a 153. 0828 or 0833 at Bamber Bridge I think. Mid 2000s, there was a through train from Edinburgh Waverley onto the Far North Line. I travelled on...

Hi, I have this shot of a Merseytravel bus stop from 1989. I'm trying to find the location of stop. Is C1 the zone that the stop is located and if so was that the same area as the present day C1? Only able to upload the close up of the sign at the moment. Thanks, Bodie

Thanks, it is looking as though 592 is the 47. As a follow up to this, I see that she went on to be 47738 and wasn't completely scrapped. The No.2 cab was used at a training facility in Plymouth till 2017 and then it went to The Cab Yard in Bridgend. It would appear to still be there. Is it...

Hello, I have these screenshots of a Class 47 reflected in an Intercity carriage at Liverpool Lime Street. They are from the ITV sitcom Watching and would they would date to late 1987. October to December. Might be January 1988. They are from series 2 which began in February 1988. Though are...

We grab some breakfast as we await the next Northern service out of town. This is the 0901 to Preston. We alight at Rufford at 0910 on Saturday morning. A spot of birdwatching anybody?

Hi, I've tried aviation forums but have had no replies. I know Railforums is primarily for well rail related transport but I know how excellent it is and there is usually someone out there with the knowledge to help. I wonder if you can help me in discovering the destination from one of a...

Hi, Apologies if not placed post in right sub forum. There is a particular Class 142 that is currently in warm storage at Newton Heath. In all probabilities she will end up under the cutter's torch. Much as i'd like to save her, that would be far, far too much cost. If I find out when the time...

Apologies for hijacking the thread. Saves having to start a new thread. Does anyone know the make(s) of on board hand dryers? Are there many different makes across the classes? If so, are they the same makes as you see in public toilets? Or is there a single specialist who manufacture train...

Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section. I am currently trying to amass as many as photographs as possible of Kyle of Lochalsh station\yard\depot prior to the introduction of DMU'S. I did need help with the ID of a photograph I came across...

I saw all the 158's that worked the Kyle line on Mon 11th June. Just curious what other (if any) workings they did that day. 158709 definitely did 2H80 0611 Kyle - Inverness 158710 definitely did 2H80 0856 Inverness - Kyle and 2H80 1208 Kyle -Inverness 158718 definitely did 2H83 1056 Kyle - Inv...

Travelling yesterday on Scotrail's 158706, I heard a noise inside the carriage. A noise which was near constant. Every five seconds approximately. It sounded like something venting. A 'tsssh' sound. I moved to the next carriage as the noise was bugging me and thankfully found that carriage...
