    TFW (Trainee Train Driver Cardiff and Chester_

    Hi, so far this has been my journey. Initial application online with Acorn, then received the questionnaire link from Acorn (which I did have to chase up), then a few weeks after invited to a Skype interview. Took around 6 weeks before I heard anything, and told I’d passed the interview and to...

    GWR Class 158s being reformed into 2-cars

    None of them are necessarily in the correct vehicle order. I just laid it out like that so it was easy to the original 158 and the 3rd additional vehicle. :)

    South West Trains and Southern: 455s and 456s

    Not sure whether this discussion has been held before, however here goes... Having just recently bought my Rail Guide 2014 from Ian Allan, I noticed a big change in the sets offered by South West Trains and Southern... For starters I noticed how SWTs 458/0 fleet with the slanted front were...

    Love Towards Class 455?

    I've got to be honest, from an enthusiast point of view, when bashing: the 455s are amazing.. The frequent services out of Waterloo to Vauxhall in simply a couple of minutes which are indefinitely double-sets provide a great opportunity to cop at least 4 sets in just 10 minutes if you catch...
