91127 and set number NL18, I think that's the set number, will be released from Wabtec to Neville Hill on Friday July 01st. Unsure if it will go straight into traffic or whether there will be some media/official unveiling event that I would have thought would take place on the Monday if there...

Platforms 1-8 were cleaned overnight over quite a few Saturday nights by abseiling people around 10 years ago, although the cost was astronomical hence why the rest of the station was never done. The main train shed was the worst due to the number of HST's, mainly the EMT ones that were the...

I think DVT 82219 has also been scrapped

I just find it a little strange that the area that is causing the damage is on the Aire valley route as surely there would be more damage to northerns 331/333 fleet that go through the affected area numerous times in a day rather than a lco that goes through just once a day. As far am I am...

It was two ex GC sets The old WB02 & WB03: 82227-11321-10330-12323-12461-12222-82200-11320-10321-12326-12477-12224 Info from another site

I think last I heard the location of the OHL that is causing the issues was originally thought to be in the Newark areas on the down line as it only the pantographs at the first class end of Azuma sets and the pointed cab end, think it's the no1 end, carbon that is showing damage this happened...

Whilst passin Gascoigne wood the other day I say a 142 poking its head out behind the lines of stored 321's any idea which on pe it plans are in store for it. I did hear Northern week to keep a unit or two for route learning is this true or is this unit just waiting its turn for these scrappers

Hi all, does anyone know how to couple together two units, either 2 x 395 or 465's in TSW2. I have been messing around in scenario creatd and just out of curiosity I have been trying to couple two units together. Ŵhen starting out with 2x 395 I can split the the two units fine however when it...

The Wensleydale railway had put s pictures on their Facebook page about a recent visit to Heaton to salvage some bench seats from a 142 that I guess won't be there for much longer

Have seen a few get on the 06.30 Bradford F Sq - Kings X get on at Leeds for Doncaster and only realise it is next stop London as we leave Wakefield, an overcarry of about 170 miles, although I think a few people started to get wise to this and bought tickets to Doncaster when they really wanted...

No 91's now north of York, mainly due to the fact that there are now no Newcastle or Edinburgh Thunderbirds, so if one runs into grief there is no rescue loco near by, unless there is the slightest chance there is a light loco or a loco on a frieght that can be commandeered, but I'd say the...

They lost all their 32x EMU's, 3 x 321's and 5x322's all gone Darn Saarrf

Those brake discs still look very clean and shiny

I am not sure if delay- repay or the compensation packages is applicable If a "do not travel" message is sent out.

What I think may help would be if the section between Leeds and at least Crossgates was made bi-directional, at present if a Transpennine train or in recent cases a few TPE's are running late the common practise is to hold the Northern Stopper until the Expresses have gone through and it is not...

Just to confirm 333012 was sandwiched between 2x 37's for its journey from Holbeck to Neville hill on Saturday morning, not sure which 333, if any, has replaced it

91119 now at Wabtec for repaint, and it won't be LNER / Virgin red,

There are quite a few LNER powercars running around with traction motors isolated at the moment, so this may have an effect on the ride quality, i.e. if the front powercar has 2 out of 4 motors isolated then the rear powercar is more powerful, and will cause the feeling of getting shoved from...

91119 will be repaired, but is currently at Bounds Green, donating its traction motors to 4 other locos that are all running on just 3 motors, and also swapping a bogie from 119 to another loco, due to the fact it will be out of service for some time it is surrendering some of its good parts

I was chatting to a driver yesterday who mentioned that during the recent very cold weather, VTEC loco 91119, somewhat overheated and suffered a severe internal fire, resulting in most of the electrical equipment melting and casting very real doubts if it will ever run again, Well under VTEC...
