    Radio 2 spin-off among four new stations planned by BBC

    Not sure it warrants a new thread given much of the recent discussion about the musical selection on Radio 2 becoming more modern is related to this announcement today...... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68226389

    City Bus Manager

    Just stumbled across this yesterday, City Bus Manager on Steam. First thing to note is that it's an Early Access game so many features won't be included yet and the developers will add things in the future, there's also a feature request button within the game so you can view community requests...

    Borismaster - County Durham (25/10)

    Is there any reason why one of the New Routemaster buses would be in County Durham today? I drove past it this afternoon at about 3:30pm on the A167 between Newton Aycliffe and Chilton. Edit** Answered my own question, it's been visiting Cummins at Darlington. I assume it's the only one up...

    1Y08 0539 Sunderland to London Kings Cross - 26/04/22

    Anyone know what's happened 1Y08 this morning? 254 down approaching York and it crawled past one of the York rail cameras at no more than 5mph. Up traffic is now being routed around it on the slows and over to the down main. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C46233/2022-04-26/detailed

    Weekly Ticket

    Next Monday i'm likely going to need a weekly ticket from Redcar Central to Middlesbrough but probably won't know until Sunday. As i'll be getting a really early train and the ticket office at Redcar Central will be closed then (in fact it's closed at the moment anyway) can I buy either from a...

    Arcow Quarry

    Some time around 2016 a link and sidings from Arcow Quarry was connected to the Settle to Carlisle line. Does anyone have any idea of how the signalling arrangements changed to facilitate this? Before the link was installed i'm sure the closest signal that would protect it on the down main was...

    Maradona dies aged 60

    People more recently would concentrate on his off the field issues but he was still arguably one of the greatest players to grace the game, if not the greatest. I went to see England v Argentina in 1991 at the old Wembley, unfortunately Maradona was on somewhat of a sabbatical from the national...

    Discussion on systemic racism and inequality.

    Mods note: Separated from this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/donald-trump-discussion.140707/ I'm not convinced. The majority of your recent replies in this thread are straight out of the Trump supporters playbook.

    The Return to School

    Just wondering what other parents have experience on returning their kids to school. Our youngest went back to his Primary yesterday and it was absolutely fine, he had gone back for two weeks before the summer holidays so everything that was practiced then has managed to continue on their...

    Unite blames government for Hitachi job losses

    Whilst it's sad that people are losing jobs and I personally know several people who work there, i'm sure i'm not alone in seeing the irony in the below statement. The fact that the factory exists is because a contract for new trains was readily awarded to an overseas company in the first place...

    06:25 Hull to Kings Cross - 2005

    Just looking at some of the archived timetables from my site and in particular the 06:25 Hull to Kings Cross from the 2005 summer timetable when it was a Class 170. Does anyone know if the headcode was 1A91 back then, just like in later years? Thanks in advance.

    66587 repainted and renamed

    Didn't notice this elsewhere, apologies if it's in a thread already. 66587 has been repainted in Ocean Network Express colours and named 'AS ONE WE CAN'. Certainly not one for the livery purists. Image embedded from @RailFreight Twitter

    Free TV licence scrapped for (most) over 75-s

    Rail passengers face another difficult year, warn MPs

    Another day, another article of doom. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47376537 Mick Cash has had his say this morning as you would now expect. But where on earth is he getting that 70% figure from?

    Coach Marker Sandwich Boards

    Bit of a strange one this but is there a specific name for these? I'm looking for reference images in different eras on the East Coast but as i'm unsure as to exactly what they are called i'm drawing a blank because I don't know what to search for! This image shows an East Coast Coach E variant...
