Ah of course - good point.

Not a fan of the class either. With Northerns procurement of new trains and TfW 197’s still coming on stream is there any that are planned to be used for the foreseeable?

Bit of nice speculation thread. If you had the power to order stock what you order and why. 1713684907 To kick us off, I’d probably look to extend a lot of LNER IEP’s by an extra coach to 10 and/or then extend some of the 5 coach sets to 9/10. I’d probably offer Lumo an nearly at cost deal to...

I did wonder that. Thanks for your replies.

Hi, just saw two Azumas depart with a flashing Bodyside Indicator Light on the last coach when departing. Wondered whether anyone knew what this was for?

Ah that explains the lack of stop at WBQ. I presumed as much in terms of the Cheshire Lines. Thanks for the info.

The only time I've done this I was the only one on board. Ran fast to Stockport via Altrincham as a route learner but now runs via Warrington despite not actually stopping at Warrington! if anyone knows why let me know.

I would agree that Scotrail would be a good choice. If they could take RETB then they could be ideal for Inverness to replace the 158's which could then be used on the West Highland Lines (assuming gauging can be sorted) replacing the 156's. Pair them up as 2 + 3 car sets and have them run...

Anyone know what all this was about? A 92 attached to 3 coaches hauled by a 73 to Perth.

Obviously, drifting from topic but It would be useful for Lumo to expand their trains. Indeed I'm somewhat surprised there isn't already an action to start expanding the 5 car IET sets across TOC's where platform lengths allow. I would like to see Lumo forced by DFT into having an emergency...

Completely agree.

I do find the luggage recommendation odd. As far as I'm aware there isn't a particular issue with luggage falling from the overhead racks outside of having an IET close to almost overturning, which is surely a pretty exceptional issue that shouldn't be expected at all, since people were also...

The only sleepers I would see in the UK having a viable market would be either Edinburgh / Glasgow to Paris / Amsterdam or London to Berlin/Geneva/Vienna etc. Someone doing a tour of western Europe could well viably do a London then Edinburgh then Paris type tour quite feasibly. We all know how...

Oh dear that’s awful. Thanks for the clarification never the less
