    The Deep-tube train replacement update

    I have been away from this forum for a while, and, I hope for an update on what was a recent proposal to replace all of the Deep-tube trains on the London Underground with one new fleet, similar to the S stock replacing all Sub-surface fleet. I know they are not here yet, but think I remember...

    What is the current status of Crossrail 2?

    I have been away from the forum for a while, and have naturally lost track of what is going on with the Crossrail 2, or the new/underground section of the Elizabeth line. What is the current status of it? Is it operating yet, or, when is it expected to open at?

    What are these on the 73 stock seats

    That matter with the 72 stock, given their replacement is due soon, they would not want to be wasting any money on them. Thus, any replacement armrests may fit that criteria?

    Future crossrails in London?

    How easy would it be to merge the Sub-Surface lines with the non-underground network such as the Overground network? Can you fit a full sized Overground train through the sub-surface tunnels? Should a plan be done, to replace, or enlarge the deep-tube tunnels with full sized tunnels. That...

    Worst Level Crossings for Traffic

    While not in the UK, I see the same thing in Melbourne Australia, although it is just a suburban train service stopping to take on passengers. The problem here is, when you are on a railway of which also has express trains, and, so as to avoid slowing down the express trains, the wig wags are...

    (AUS) A new train for Melbourne.

    Re Comeng fleet: The isle side seat mount, is where the floor frame exists. There is no additional frame under where the second seat is, therefore they can not put the seat mount into the floor at that location. The only way they can reduce the Comeng fleet to 2+2 seating is, either to leave...

    Could the iron lining of the deep tube tunnels also increase the noise being of iron?

    Piccadilly line to Ealing Broadway

    I would love to see Piccadilly line trains use Earling Broadway, as a limited service in addition to all existing services. I see it as an advantage, to have super transport nodes at locations around the city, where all lines in that area service.

    Trivia: Passenger trains/locomotives that are named after destinations they don't/can't serve

    Here in my home state of Victoria, we have track gauge conversions getting involved. Originally, the whole state was all Irish broad. In the 1980s, a fleet of 25x N class locomotives entered service, many with name plates of various cities included in its passenger train network. Then, a few...
