Does anyone know what the true version of events was at Crossgates (Leeds) yesterday? Understand both lines were blocked for a time (due to emergency services dealing with an incident)? Heard rumours that it was a PHBT incident? Also, that someone in a distressed state threatened to jump from a...

Hi, Thanks for your help in advance. Can anyone recommend an idiotproof (simple to use) digital camera for photographing trains/planes etc. I'm looking at something that perhaps has autofocus? Would prefer, as a first time user, not too have to spend a lot of money. A ceiling of around £100 is...

A couple of queries about traffic at Stalybridge today? Firstly, does anyone know where 67008 went to? It was heading East light engine around 14:05. It was in EWS livery, if that helps? Did not see it return before leaving at 19:26. Secondly, An unidentified 66 (also in EWS livery) passed...

I have searched, for this thread, before posting. There doesn't seem to be one previously. I saw a Tesco liveried container train at Birmingham New Street, earlier this year. Does anyone know where these trains run to/from? Thanks for any info.

Anybody know what the story is behind the giant Vimto bottle in Manchester? It is situated, off Sackville Street (on some green space), next to the railway bridge, between Oxford Rd and Deansgate stations.

I do not want, to incur the wrath of the more intemperate, intolerant members of this forum, for getting it wrong? When you tweet RailUK Forums for the first time, do you have to know which forum your tweet goes in? Do the mods do this? Before people start "rolling eyes", I have searched for...

A word of praise for a TOC, amid the moans and groans we all read about, on this forum. Thanks to the driver of 1P56 1827 MAN-YRK, yesterday, for going beyond the call of duty. He got the w/chair ramp out on a 185 unit; and speeded up, the process of getting me off the train.The guard and...

Can anyone shed any light on what happened at Leeds Station, this lunchtime? Heard an announcement about electrical problems? Noticed that inbound trains from KX were delayed. I was waiting for 1P31 1155 to MAN at the time.

Apologies if on wrong forum. Mods feel free to move to correct place, if so? Does anyone remember, a Class 33 derailing outside Birmingham New Street Christmas 1978? It was a shopper's special. Where from I do not know? I think it was the first time one had reached BHM.

This trip report - first ever - two parts. Part 1 covers LDS-BHM-GLC-KMK. I spent Easter at KMK (Kilmarnock). I wanted to get some WCML mileage in (hence the BHM-GLC leg and return). Also, I wanted to travel on a Pendolino. I like them; but I'm aware, from previous comments on these forums...
