Due to work, I had to spend a couple of days in Lichfield; travelled from Shrewsbury on LM 170 then swapped to these electrics for the rest of the trip. My initial experience with one (years ago) was quite unpleasant, as it stank inside, but I was impressed by them on that line, they have nice...

I have tried this career scenario twice now and both times have managed to keep to speed limits and just about on time, but upon reaching the final signal before Didcot, the AWS comes on and won't cancel, so emergency brake comes on and thats where the train stops. I didn't bother to wait this...

A friend of mine said he was stopped at Harlescott crossing yesterday and assuming it would be a DMU, didn't pay much attention, but upon glancing up saw it was a rake of old Virgin liveried stock...possibly Mk 2's...he didn't see what was hauling it - does anyone know the story?

Does anyone know if there is a publication covering DB-AG's current fleet? I've got the Platform 5 book but thats 8 years old now, so was wondering if there was anything published in Germany? Thanks :)

Just a quick couple of questions - during the evening express scenario (Newcastle to York) if I passed a yellow signal the AWS would sound, but there was another noise after I'd cancelled it, a low bleeping sound - just wondered what it was. I had a go at the passenger scenario with the DB...

Now I am fairly new to playing RW, but am getting a bit better at it, keeping to speed limits, and getting the whole train on the platform etc, but out of the 3 (easy) scenarios on the Portsmouth line expansion, I have failed all three, even though I have finished them and done what I was...

My mate has just bought the game, but upon trying to start it gets an error with the .Net framework thingy...hes tried uninstalling it and the game but can't play it at all. Any ideas what the problem might be? He's running Vista SP1, and has had issues with other programmes because he can't...

...do I need to insert the disc every time I play? :oops:

I was mooching around the internet to see if there were any photos of Warships and Westerns in Shrewsbury, and found a few of both; As far as I know the Warships worked through to Crewe, and the Westerns powered the Birkenhead to Paddington trains, did they get to the town with any other work at...

Hi I have heard that FGW produce a large book with all their services in it, but its only available from certain stations, and not by post - and being in Sunny Shropshire, none of those stations are easy to get to...so I was wondering, if I was to send the money (£3) plus the postage costs...

I know there have been three major incidents involving HST's in the last 15 years, each resulting in the writing off of a power car (Southall, Ladbroke Grove, and Ufton Nervet). I used to work with a bloke who grew up in Acton in the 1950's whose Dad was a top link driver on the Western...

Hi Is there much freight through Shrewsbury these days? I often hear heavy rumbling in the early hours but not much in the evening...its just I am planning to get off my lazy bottom and head off and do some spotting and would be nice to see some locos as well as the DMU's. Ta Joe
