Hello, I had my medical yesterday to become a trainee conductor. All went well but I have to wait for my drug and alcohol screening results. I had poppy seeded bread, 2 slices just over a day before my medical, will this have an effect? And if so, will they be able to ascertain what has...

Hello, On the 6th September I have booked myself a trip on the Caledonian sleeper, purely to experience it. It's something I've always wanted to do and I had a bit of Annual leave to use so thought why not? Therefore, I am due to arrive in Inverness, before returning just an hour later. I...

Hello, I may be expected to have a medical soon for a trainee conductor role for AGA. I wondered what the limitations were surrounding BMI. I am a big lad and have been all my life. Luckily I have time to try and make a dent in this and get cracking, however, for a conductor role, I wondered...

Hello, I have a question regarding newer Bombardier units (such as later 377's, 379's and 387's) They have a small white light just to the right hand side of the coupler (left hand side as you look at it) and I wondered what purpose it served? It almost seems like a third marker light...

Hello, Having been caught up in this on the 29th January, following a failed 90 on the set that the old Pretendo coaches were placed. I was quite surprised on how the train managed to get taken off the mainline and into a siding. As no rescue loco was readily available, it was decided to...

Just in case anybody is interested, I have managed to get a few snaps and vids of 379013 that has been out going up and down the Mayflower Line (Manningtree - Harwich Town) undergoing battery testing. RTT Links: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/F41080/2015/01/06/advanced...

Just wondered if anyone 'in the know' would have any idea why the Harwich International - Lowestoft train was diverted into Manningtree Pl 2 yesterday instead of going around the East curve. I must say, it was quite strange seeing a train head North towards Ipswich from Pl 2 at Manningtree...

Hello, I wasn't sure who to ask as when I tweeted AGA's twitter account they also weren't sure. But... With the cheaper advanced tickets, instead of buying them online, can they be purchased at a local ticket office? Thanks in advance! (No pun intended) S.

I'm a tad new to all this, however, I remember I used to catch a train to Colchester (from Harwich) every friday at just before 4pm to see that a friend got to Colchester safely. (We were only 15 :lol: ). But I have always remembered that my train connected to another from Ipswich (always 321's...

Hello, Does anybody have any ideas of the diagram this seems to work? Thanks

Hello, I was stood on Manningtree station today, when an AGA class 90 loco went through pulling a DRS class 47 which had no engine running etc. When I checked on realtime trains it gave it as being 0V91 Norwich Crown Point TMD to Ilford EMUD. It bugged me a little though as I couldn't...
