Hello, does anyone know which coaches (including coach numbers) were used in Tornado's 100 mph test run in April 2017? From videos there looks to be a mix and match of ex-Virgin and Anglia Mk2s but which ones exactly I can't tell. many thanks.

Great for me, the whole objective of flying next week was to go see the 112 so I'm mighty pleased :D

Thanks for clarifying, I understand for the latest design of EMUs with inside frame bogies but I'm still intrigued they were used on more relatively modern stock. Do you know if this is just a design philosophy that has been continuing (i.e. we do it this way because we've been doing it since...

Hello, I'm looking for some help from the more technically versed members of this forum. I've been wondering why British EMUs seem to use nose-suspended drive motors until quite recently including the PEP stock and the Mark 3 stock, whereas in, for example, Japan they got rid of...

JR Kyushu has a lot of interesting and unique trains running around Kyushu island, so I'd say there's lots to do there. I would recommend the Kagoshima-Hayato-Hitoyoshi-Kumamoto mountain route which has one of the 3 best railway scenic views in Japan near Yatake station. If you are going to Mt...

RFI doesn't even let the TGV services use the Torino-Milano high speed line! I think the animosity between RFI/Trenitalia and SNCF stems back quite far, at least from when the ETR460s used to run into Lyon but the Italian services were terminated...

This is a photo of the unit at Brundall on 10th august. It appears to be blank as dk1 says.

Sorry yes, that's what I meant :oops: As people have said it certainly does it's job in carrying passengers whether or not bums are on seats...

Hi there, I was wondering about the interior of the class 378s. Some stock like the class 455s have partial longitudinal seating, but are the class 378s the first national rail operated rolling stock to have it throughout the train in the UK? I know that most tube stock has all longitudinal...
