    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    I've seen a post on a facebook group that 507001 is on New Brighton services today and started on the 0553 departure from New Brighton. Are there some 508s out today and which services are they running?

    Southern Class 313 withdrawal/storage/scrapping updates

    I was planning on heading down to Brighton and Seaford today to see them before they go. Are 313s running the Seaford trains today? It's a bit of a trek from Derby so I'd rather find out sooner rather than later if it turns out they aren't running today after all!

    323221 new livery

    It was at the Redditch end. It looked good from what I could see at the gloomy platform level!

    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    The new seats have already arrived in Derby so I gave them a quick test on my way over the footbridge. I felt like they were well shaped for me, but the base was fairly solid which was a disappointment. A 222 seat that hasn't yet collapsed feels more comfortable initially.

    745104 Damaged

    Another thing to consider is that the buffer stop there is designed for use with stock fitted with buffers, which the 745s don't have so the coupler was largely avoided by the buffer stop and went straight into the cab structure. Would a 321 have done any better?

    TRIVIA: Less obvious places where you can change trains

    University can also be handy for avoiding changing at Birmingham New St for changes between the XC Nottingham to Cardiff trains and WMR cross city or Hereford trains. When heading north it gives you a headstart at finding a seat on the XC service compared to changing at New Street.

    Service to reopened Camp Hill line stations

    WMR will end up with quite a few 3 car 730s sat spare if cross city stays as 4tph for that long!

    Service to reopened Camp Hill line stations

    Thanks, they will have to be very quick at changing ends at Kings Norton to not get in the way of the crosscity services, assuming the middle island platform isn't being reopened.

    Service to reopened Camp Hill line stations

    Does anyone know what the plans are for what services will call at the 3 rebuilt stations on the camp hill line once they reopen? Seeing as neither the chords down to moor street or electrification are happening that narrows it down to just the Hereford service, unless there are plans for a...
