There is no District line service to Richmond, Ealing Broadway and Olympia due to drain works in the single ball tunnel near Earl's Court. Could the Piccadilly line stop at Ravenscourt Park, Stamford Brook (westbound only) and Turnham Green or at least just stop at Turnham Green between these...

The class 701 thread keeps mentioning a reduction in capacity due to withdrawals of rolling stock without any replacement. Given the 701's aren't entering service anytime soon could the 456's not be reinstated to provide additional capacity along with the 5 remaining 442's otherwise if the 707's...

Been reading the latest issue of Express and there was an article about preserving Southern Region stock. Apparently a 4 SUB (Class 405) unit is undergoing restoration to possible working order. Plus Northumbria Rail have acquired a pair of 5 WES (Class 442) for preservation working with a...

Taken from this thread. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/through-gwr-bedwyns-to-be-axed-from-may-2022.228842/page-8 If we're not careful then some 'bright spark' (no pun intended) will suggest to DfT they'd be better using 769s on Cardiff-Portsmouth I know it's unlikely but would it work as...

Does anyone know why they’re all on Saturdays and not Sundays this year? Plus they're coming from as far afield as Wolverhampton.

Does anyone have this trains diagram possibly? I'd like to see it with a couple of friends. Thank You :)

I understand these trains are now to go first. Is this true? see https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/london-underground-bakerloo-line-new-21153107. I thought the 1973 tube stock on the Piccadilly line was going first.

Can't these iconic popular trains have a last run in passenger service before they are scrapped, they hold the record of the fastest third rail units if not a farewell tour just one last scheduled passenger running on the 24th July all the enthusiasts would love it, Covid restrictions would've...

Will these wonderful units have a future as EMU's or converted HMU's I hope so :D. Those Renatus units look like they still have some life left in them there must be some routes they could go to East Kilbride/Barrhead when they get electrified?

This Saturday I'm intending to go to Newbury for a ride on a C2C 387 what are my chances of getting one?

Is it no longer possible for Piccadilly line trains to use the local line between Hammersmith and Acton Town because I understand they aren't compatible with the Thales signaling but if it's only going as far as Barons Court why can't they be switched at Hammersmith which is after Barons Court...

After the demise of 115's and 47's is it true the Chiltern Main Line was entirely run by Class 165's between July 1992 and May 1998?

When the DMU's are replaced on the Uckfield line could the services make an additional stop at Woldingham as it has vey narrow platforms which get very crowded during busy rush hours and some of the passengers have told me they don't always feel safe waiting on the platform when the Uckfield...

Since I mentioned electrification in the South West not happening in any of our lifetimes on a previous thread which started a debate on what the not too distant future holds for rolling stock down there I think the best we can hope for is the Turbos being converted to DEMU hybrids but has...

Back in the year 2000 there was a Virgin Train simulator at the back of the ticket hall at Euston station I saw it a couple of times but it was only working once and it showed a drivers eye view does anyone else remember it?

Which date is this train running? Saphos Trains say August 2nd but UK Railtours say August 9th or is it both Sundays?

I already know about the weekday diagrams but I was told on WNXX that one of the 37's has a Saturday diagram now they didn't give me the morning diagram but it's meant to be the 17:46 to Rhymney does anyone here know?

Have a look at this video: T The westbound fast line makes an awful clattering sound whenever trains goes across it. Chat can be done to improve it? This is how eastbound trains on the fast line use to sound going though Stamford Brook that has since become a thing of the past. It never use...

Why do clockwise bound Circle line trains often stop beyond Gloucester Road station, with the last 2 carriages still platformed, to let eastbound District line trains pass? Wouldn't it be easier if they remained fully platformed, with their doors open, until the eastbound District has crossed over?

I know the 707's are set to transfer to Southeastern, but what about the other SWR suburban units The 456's are apparently going to be scrapped they're younger than me I think (some of them built in 1989-90) yet they are scrapping them already and keeping older units in service. And what about...
