    Serco Caledonian Sleeper contract will NOT be extended

    Why not Nightjet or Midnight train brands take a look at this, possibly a Eurostar link include. But it's the cost, unlikely to be viable unless substantial subsidiary is on offer once again. Intresting thought though.

    Seven pounds for ten minutes next to Flying Scotsman?

    Is it a geat icon - Yes. Is it a over-rated locomotive - Yes. Demand and stardom is evident in every part of life. This is no different. Some will pay, many will pass, but that is the price of commercialism.

    Rail Charter Services Ltd - Services Suspended

    Scotland could welcome back train building for first time in decades

    The current pound makes exporting much cheaper currently. If it does stay at this level I can see why companies would look at manufacturing in the UK for export. But orders for UK stock must be near peak levels and will decline as such.

    Northern Belle, Halton Curve.

    Just by chance, spotted the Northern Belle on Weaver Viaduct approaching the Frodsham Junction onto the curve towards Liverpool this morning ( Friday 06:50). Apart from the seasonal parliamentary service, what else travels over the link towards Liverpool??
