Evening folks, Does anybody know specifically why one of the driving vehicles of 185143 was being hauled by road, southbound on the M74 this afternoon?

Good evening all, I booked a virgin advance from Euston to Motherwell travelling on Monday 24th March on the 17:30 to glasgow. It was an advance, costing £76.50. I appreciate that advances cannot be easily changed, but having rethought my travel plans it would be easier to get a train to...

..a rake of virgin liveried mk2/mk3s heading south between Perth and Stirling a couple of hours ago? Any idea what it was (if indeed it was old virgin stock) and where it was going? Cheers.

Good evening, Just curious to know if any members have bought a Bratchell kit (assembled or in bits) from their EMU range, and whether it met their expectations, represented good value for money? Are the motors/wheelsets of good quality, and does the unit as a whole run well? Any insights...

Good evening, I've read on other forums via a google search that it may be possible to use RailDriver in OpenBVE, by customising controls and allying them to a recognised joystick. RailDriver is not picked up as a joystick though, and no amount of jiggery pokery with the hardware manager...

Apologies if this has been covered before, or this is in the wrong place. I'm curious to know if there is/are website(s) that have a comprehensive list of local depot "logos" (like the railfreight sector logos) which usually featured animals. I'm aware they go back many many years and so the...

This is something I've noticed when window shopping for potential new models for my layout, unless I'm just not looking hard enough. Aside from 466, 423s and some other vintage DC emus, and very recently the 350, there isn't much else, which is a shame. I'd quite like a 334 or 380 (heck, even...

Just gone past a driving vehicle from a 170 on the back of a low loader, parked outside the petrol station on the A8 glasgow road. Presumably this is part of the unit that derailed recently. Any idea where its going? It was heading westbound.

Inspired by IVO’s trip logs, I’ve decided to write my own blog-esque story regarding possibly the highest mileage trip in one single day I’ve ever done. Being a native of terra Edina and a student, trips away are few and far between generally. I have had a flurry of trips recently through...

Evening all, I am travelling between Edinburgh and London on the 14th. Ideally I'd like to get the 08:00 out and 16:00 return on East Coast, but since the EC website seems to be down, or my internet doesn't like it today, I cannot check the online discounted fares (I am also a registered EC...

just passed the big freight yard north of carlisle, and i caught a glimpse of an 08 at a funny angle.. It may have been my eyesight playing tricks, but it looked like it had either derailed or hit some trucks too hard. The 'front' of the loco seemed to be off the ground against a wagon.. Obscure...

Just seen a north berwick train worked by a lone 158, have the 322s returned to their original leaseholder?

I have a rather unusual scenario from my recent travels, which I need some clarification about. Earlier today, I had a 1st advance ticket with seat reservation for the 13:14 TPE service from Lancaster - Edinburgh. However, due to a 'coupling issue' at Manchester, the train only consisted of...

After reading a thread about job applicants scouting for information and advice at stations to give them an edge at the interview, I've got a question along similar lines. I recently applied to a ROSCO to join their professional development programme in the Autumn 2011 intake. I've submitted...

Hello all, this is a different avenue to the usual driver/conductor queries on these forums; I am currently in my final year of a BEng degree in mechanical engineering. I have had an interest in the railways since i can remember, and an interest in transport in general for just as long...
