    Truck Sims

    I find it about as boring as train sim 2012 if I'm honest. I guess its there for when I have a spare 10 mins... luckily thats not often.

    Last Day Of A Stock On The Met Line?

    The graffiti incident happened on the Klondike stabling road where the wheel lathe is located. The unit has since been cleaned and it has been announced that no units are to be stabled overnight on the Klondike. Whether this is a temporary practice I'm not sure. If you are looking for a...

    Future of Class 313s - facts and fiction

    As in what tech are we talking? Train stops etc? AWS/TWPS wouldn't work without a massive overhaul of signalling sections on LU. However, the vic and joob signalling systems are some of the most advanced in the world.

    Eurostar class 373 did all the snowproofing get done?

    As TGV rightly states, going in to the reasons why a pan wouldnt raise is a very massive subject. Some of the reasons though could be low main res, power systems lock out (a lock out is a means of protection where the components become electrically/pneumatically isolated and the only way to...

    S8 stock seating

    Doesnt this pose a health hazard to the travelling public though? Thinking about it i presumed the dust on the window ledges came in through the windows. Interesting.

    HS1 Church Path Pit Sidings

    Possibly used for Northfleet Cement Works shunting or for turning back units should the station be full? However, as its a CTRL line. I would assume that its to be used in time of severe service disruption so if 395's couldnt get back to depot due to failures and the prep timing had ran out...

    Really, unless they are willing to supply face masks to all punters! I could understand if they changed the frequency in which they change the filters.

    Refurbished Class 373s?

    But will not be running 320kmh as infrastructure hasnt been certified for that running speed. Its similar to the 374 yes.

    Refurbished Class 373s?

    How am I being rude? When youre coming back to me with blatent ignorance making assumptions that its got nothing to do with snow proofing, when it has.... Then you give me the whole underlined and bold with the 'uh oh hes getting angry' face. If you wanted to address me personally, a PM would...

    Refurbished Class 373s?

    Erm. If you bothered to look, you would have seen a reply to that question.

    See the below thread 'eurostar class 373 snow proofing'.

    Eurostar class 373 did all the snowproofing get done?

    Closed Conditioned Air Management systems have been installed in the power cars which puts the electronics racks like el-cm, el-bm, ut-ak, ut-cm, etc in their own atmosphere so dust/moisture/heat isn't a problem anymore. DC shoegear has been removed however, a lot of the equipment still remains...

    Glowing Tube Stock at Eastleigh Works!

    You can easily attach a power supply to put on saloon lighting, not too sure what the battery voltage was on the A stock but they would need lights for ripping out the interiors. That is unless it was from another lighting source inside the cars?

    Glowing Tube Stock at Eastleigh Works!

    May well have been 2 carriages from the A stock which is being scrapped. 2 cars went last night and another two are about to be loaded on to the trailers for a trip down the motorway.

    Depot driver position.

    Goto the Eurostar Careers site and submit your CV to the engineering talent pool. Express that you are willing to learn and want to learn. Do a bit of background research on railway infrastructure and how trains generally work.. wont be a bad thing to get to be able to identify components on trains.

    Too many variables to take in to account. Did you take an average of temperature in the tunnels/stations? Amount of people inside the saloon which are giving off heat? Pressure forced ventilation will only pull air in from the outside, the grilles and filters are there to stop you breathing in...

    S8 stock seating

    Red? I assume that colours used on signals/tail/head shouldnt be used elsewhere. This is why the white lamps on the 379's pan cams are supposedly ever on when facing direction of travel. The system they have is clear ans loud enough on interior and exterior to know the doors are closing, why add...

    S8 stock seating

    M2 car added to give better braking in rheo and eventually when the great volt up comes in - regen. So I've heard anyway. Just take a look in the defect books and you'll see whats wrong with them, shocking workmanship from the agency workers at Bombardier.
