Does anyone have the current diagrams for the remaining East Midland Railway HST’s for the next month? Thanks!

Thank you so much! Do you know if these remaining HST services will remain until May or could they be replaced with 180's over the coming months?

Does anyone have any inside information on when the full first class menu catering service returns to EMR now the full timetable is back? Currently there is still no catering except for a small bag.

Yes I will go Friday as weekends are too unreliable. There is a direct service to Leeds Friday evening, I assume that is a HST

It will be either this coming Friday or the weekend. Thanks.

Hi guys, I want to ride a HST from St Pancras to Leeds but the timetables don't say what services are HST anymore. Does anyone know the current HST diagrams for EMR?

Interesting, I saw that a couple of YouTube videos on the Côte d’Azur line had the camera filming out of the window. Did these trains have drop light windows too? And I wonder how many of the hinged door trains or trains in general on the continent have drop light windows? I wonder if they...

Are there any ‘slam door’ trains left in other countries now that the last remaining HST’s will have plug doors fitted this year in the U.K.?

Same :( The railways won’t be the same without locos and slam door carriages it’s as simple as that.

Brighton has a daily GWR direct service to Bristol and beyond. I know this service has been around for several years now using a DMU and it just got me thinking, has this service always been around? I can’t find much literature on it online but I know the class 158 were built for many long...

I've seen some literature on this myself, how absolutely terrifying. Is nothing sacred? We can debate about slam doors and droplight windows on the network until we're blue in the face but introducing draconian measures into the heritage railways is outrageous. The whole point of heritage...

There is a huge appetite for droplight windows as expressed throughout this forum, I doubt the passion for droplight windows is rooted in sticking your head out of the droplight at 125mph but rather that they add authenticity to the railway experience, which is why heritage railways are so...

What is the likelihood of the fife circle mk2’s being around post lockdown? Slam doors and droplights forever!

I was walking under the viaduct in Brighton today and I saw a Class 313 unit in its originally BR Blue livery. It looked amazing and I would love to take a ride in one! Does anyone know if it is featured on any diagram? I understand covid-19 might make things more difficult but generally speaking.

You could include droplights on swing plug doors if the droplights featured the same sensor technology that stops sliding doors closing fully when obstructed. It wouldn’t have to be some gruesome guillotine. Say someone had their hand out the window as it closed, it would automatically stop the...
