ATOC guide states ...'Premium class in railjet services may not be used by holders of any FIP travel facilities.' So if you have 2nd class FIP you use 2nd class, if you have 1st class FIP you use 1st class.

Ive only just relaised an IEP and class 800 are the same thing, my bad!

It was 66741 & 66761, they were on there way to Millerhill before being called upon to rescue you. On arrival at Newcastle they dropped down to the Forth Branch before resuming there journey north.

Havent seen this in the news yet, but the first IEP vechical arrived in the UK via Port of Tyne on the 19th January. The driving car will be used for training at Hitachis new plant and precedes the first pre-series sets currently at sea...

You need a ticket from Bergen to Oslo plus sleeper reservation. Your FIP card will get you 50% of the public fare between Bergen and Oslo Your FIP Coupons will get you between Bergen and Oslo for free. The sleeper reservation is in addition to this and is not coverd by FIP. At the moment it is...

TP electrification has been deffered to CP6 due to costs. So dont expect any electrics across the Pennines untill at least 2021. Probably explanes the delays in the refranchising of the TPE franchies.

No springs in that pantograph. Air pressure is used to keep the pan' up on a 319.

This was first announced by the DfT when the extra 377s were ordered and confirmed in September. The initial six 319s will just get an internal refresh, the full refurbishment not starting until more 319s become available. Once in the north-west the six units will take over the...

Yes there will be three or four a day when the WCML north of Carlisle is closed. No it has not happend before.

Paddington is the easiest, see: http://kingbboogaloo.smugmug.com/popular/1321020768_gsWtdKM#!i=1321020768&k=gsWtdKM and http://kingbboogaloo.smugmug.com/Europe/Rolling-Stock/16667572_WQtqV2#!i=1312212141&k=G9HN3Fn Both were taken without a tripod or flash.

Wath.

The short answer is yes, you should have given up the seat. Fair enough you didn't know the seat was reserved when you sat in it but the reservation the passenger was holding is just the same as the reservation label that should have been in the back of the seat. Had the Guard announced...

Can I just point out that this is not a problem of Northern not having enough trains, but not enough working trains. Looking at the services mentioned on Twitter they are all short formed. Reliability of the fleet has slowly got worse over the last few months mainly down to decisions made by...

That reminds me of something similar at Aldwarke Junction between Rotherham and Swinton. When approaching the junction from Rotherham Central, the signal protecting the junction never clears to a green even when the next signal, which you can see, is at green. I'm told the reason why is to...

There are regular ECS moves out of Skipton in the morning for pairs of 333s, although the rear unit is dragged dead as Northern don't have a safety case for operating pairs of 333s with both pans' up and taking power. The last time I saw two working in multiple was when they were being delivered.

It not a case of overhead live rails, but the contact wire is attached to the overhead rail. This allowes the contact wire to be replaced easly. Normaly its only used when there is limited clearence in the tunnel. IIRC Sunderland North tunnel is the only place in the UK where such a system is...

Nope.

Talgos (AVE and almost all other long distance trains in Spain) are just like TGVs in the fact they are reservation only. The cost of the reservation depens on how busy and when you reserve.

Derby Drivers, Sheffield Guards, two seprate shifts IIRC.

The footbridge itself is fine, getting to it is a joke. Some of the stairs are hopelessly narrow and then there is the provision of Lifts, platforms 16&17 get one, 12-15 get two, 9-11 get one and platforms 1-8 plus the exit get just one. It doesn't take a genius to spot which is going to be the...
