    Sheffield Supertram & Tram Train news

    The BBC article seems to suggest only 29 parking spaces to be provided... was a "park and ride" facility not mooted for this new stop?

    Have you got this in writing? :D

    Does the Kings Lynn run require ASDO for 8 car trains to be operated?

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway

    This is a given; they’re all at different mod levels.

    Nonsense, how so?

    Great Northern Fleet Tender

    If neatness and consistency is what you desire - thank goodness you don’t work as a diesel fleet engineer!

    Great Northern Fleet Tender

    Some might argue that ETCS retrofits are a money pit… but you didn’t hear it from me o_O

    Competition to name one of the Class 150s on the Marston Vale Line announced

    Some might say that 230001 could be a worthy candidate for that name :D

    It’ll be the usual wikipedia ping-pong until months after they enter service.

    routine maintenance and cleaning I would hope!

    … believe it when I see it? Or am I too cynical?

    GBRF confirms conversion of Class 56s to Class 69s

    I had to read this twice as I got 66311 confused for 56311!

    Metcam Networkers to be withdrawn at the end of the year?

    I’m surprised the thread has made it this far without anybody pointing out that the BREL/ABB built 465s retain their original ”Brush” AC traction motors. It’s the traction inverter electronics that were changed to Hitachi equipment - this is what generates the noise.

    Is it known yet [to relevant stakeholders outside of Alstom] what level of retraining the ’Atlas’ ETCS cab desk will require, when compared to the extant non-ETCS 387s and 379s?

    Correct, plus the 375s are being refurbished under a similar workstream. So hardly a ’waste’.

    Differences between TPWS, ATP and ETCS

    Correct answer. ATP braking curves are not 100% infallible. (note that in this instance the term "Automatic Train Protection" also includes ETCS)

    Train driver and guard attacked at Moss Side station near Lytham

    That’s assuming that the suspect was in their right mind. EDIT: I see I’m not the first to suggest this.

    LNER announce CAF fleet

    The IC225s are certainly not on a critical path anymore when it comes to ETCS rollout… assuming the CAF units are introduced in good time.

    Differences between TPWS, ATP and ETCS

    Train operators will rely on the JRU (data recorder) to catch drivers who attempt to ’cheat’ the penalty time.

    Differences between TPWS, ATP and ETCS

    Apologies, I’m talking at cross-purposes. I should really remember better from my BST (Basic Signalling Training) :oops:
