    2024 election and party Railway policies

    A Starmer promise isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. This will not happen.

    Confirmed : HS2 West Midlands-Manchester line to be scrapped and replaced with other projects.

    If you're casting your vote for HS2 to be completed then frankly there is nobody to vote for.

    GWR Class 230 Information, Movements & Discussion.

    I spotted some vans belonging to Fuse Rail (https://fuserail.com/) who describe themselves as Electrical and Conductor Rail specialists parked next to the bay platform at West Ealing this morning - has work started on installing the charging equipment?

    Park Royal car accident - driver charged

    This is a complete reversal of the sequence of events, right? Disappointing, and irresponsible reporting from the BBC if so.

    Park Royal car accident - driver charged

    I’ve been shown some CCTV footage and the thing was going at a ludicrous speed. Surprised anyone survived it at all.

    Protestor climbs aboard train to power station

    Class 345 progress

    It happens at all platforms at Paddington, the GPS / ASDO isn’t accurate enough to tell what platform it’s on so simply locks the centre set of doors out at the entire station.

    Extinction Rebellion transport disruption from 17/04/2019

    I suppose the Suffragettes targeted horse races because they hated the sport, then?

    Extinction Rebellion transport disruption from 17/04/2019

    They’re not anti-public transport. Reading their statements on their website they compare it to shouting “fire” at the occupants of a burning house; a disruptive act designed to raise awareness of an imminent catastrophe.

    Class 345 OPO CCTV System

    The Leaky Feeder Receivers on a Class 345 are located on the bogies at the No. 2 end of the MS1 and MS2 vehicles (the bogies closest to the centre of the train on the third and fifth vehicles on a 7 car unit or on the third and seventh vehicles on a full 9 car unit).
