    2024 Tube Stock (Siemens Inspiro)

    Between Hammersmith and Barons Court where the 73 and S Stock often run side by side, there's not really much in it acceleration wise, I would actually guess braking makes more of a difference! The S Stock looks like it can brake later, as you'd hope from a 40 year newer model :D

    Jubilee line this evening 10/11

    This caused a serious issue for everyone at the JLS gig at the O2 Arena on Friday, as North Greenwich station was completely shut from around 2230 onwards. Absolutely NO communication from anyone to the literally 10k+ people wedged both outside and inside the station! Took my partner until 0040...

    British Rail sign inside tube station

    "Barely visible" would admittedly be more accurate, but you can definitely see it at least ;)

    British Rail sign inside tube station

    Similarly, the Aldwych branch is visible on the Piccadilly line map on the eastbound platform at Baron's Court, as the presumably 28-year old sticker is peeling off.

    Brussels Eurostar > ICE connection time

    It is (or at least was) running, I was on ICE 651 on the 27th. "Destination not reached" is because the train is terminating at Hbf rather than the normal Ostbanhof - due to construction work only S-Bahn trains are running at Ostbanhof at the moment. In my case on the 27th it was diverted en...

    Eurostar connections Berlin-London

    I'd be interested to know if this is causing any short notice cancellations on the Brussels-Cologne route, as someone doing this journey in a couple of weeks then coming back a week later? Quite concerning as I've already had to rebook once from Thalys to DB (paying 3x as much for the...

    Headcorn station footbridge

    So it is! I wasn't familiar with that line but now having a look at it on the wonderful "Disused Stations" site. What a strange quirk that the footbridge from that side is still open and accessible when the track was apparently lifted back in 1954! Would love to hear if anyone knows of a less...

    Headcorn station footbridge

    Potentially a bit of a niche query, but I am very curious if anyone happens to know anything about the history of Headcorn station in relation to the footbridge access from the south side of the railway? My partner recently ended up completely stranded in the area and trying to get to the...

    Bank Holiday Coventry Engineering Works 29/08/20 - 31/08/20

    Slightly off-topic to the original question, but I notice Avanti are also affected by engineering work in the Liverpool area over the Bank Holiday weekend, with the following details: "Trains will be diverted between Crewe and Liverpool Lime Street via, but not calling at, Stockport and will...

    Class 745 Stadler FLIRTs

    It was a slightly frustrating experience last Sunday (2nd) travelling from LST to Ipswich and back on 1st Advance tickets - Journeycheck on the day suggested that there couldn't have been any more than 1 or 2 /0 units in service, the rest being /1's! I quite often go for 1st class to Ipswich as...
