    East-West Rail (EWR): will it happen and how should it be done?

    So at this point it probably not worth even mentioning a date for passenger use. Because there is no operating procedures for operating stake holders to agree to. If the Government insists on driver only I can see it being if the line see passenger not when. Please excuse spelling.

    May 2023 changes

    As the station where I live is basically at a 1989 frequency ( Welwyn Garden City) already (2 slows 2 Cambridge stoppers(yes I know one an only goes to Letchworth now) The most likely cut I can see is the Cambridge Stopper being taken out of the time table.(no service north to Stevenage for...

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    I think the drivers hold all the aces. There is currently a shortage of trained drivers a cohort of drivers who could be driving traction and routes in 6 - 9 months is very attractive to quite a few companies. If they follow though with your idea I believe most drivers will find jobs else where...

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    As no agreement with the drivers has been made. I am surprised they are putting out an estimate time frame. At this point entry into passenger service this year looks unlikely. Best one would expect some token introduction.

    East-West Rail (EWR): Consultation updates [not speculation]

    how they can put a start for trains when the Secretary of State has yet to finalise the go ahead is just strange. the web site at the very least should be updated as there is no chance of construction starting this year. My guess no trains before 2025 at the earliest before any construction or...
