    London Northwestern Class 730s

    Sorry if I’ve missed this in previous posts, but does anyone know why the LNWR units have yellow fronts while the WMR ones don’t? I seem to remember the original renders showing black gangways.

    Current whereabouts of Mk3 vehicle Trailer First 11074

    Thanks. Do you know if the 125 Group plans on repainting the rest of their coaches? Although I suppose that there’s probably more pressing things to be spending money on at the moment!

    Current whereabouts of Mk3 vehicle Trailer First 11074

    Can anyone confirm whether 11074 was one of those that had been painted into the prototype livery? If so then there must’ve been a good reason for selling it on?

    Virgin Trains (VTWC) new livery being introduced

    Looks like they’ve fitted new PIS screens on the coach exteriors. Very much needed as the old ones never seemed to work! Looking forward to seeing the unit without the yellow front in 2019. Does anyone know if this was a one off demo upgrade or will the entire fleet be getting the same treatment...

    What happened to First group's 'FTR' bendy busses?

    They seem to be thinking along the same lines in Birmingham at the moment too. Can’t see it working any better here either...

    What happened to First group's 'FTR' bendy busses?

    Does anyone know where the FTR Metro busses from Swansea ended up? Last I heard was in this article but I haven't been able to find anything else about them. The article mentions that one was destined for a museum in York. Any ideas where that might be?

    WMTrains livery and station branding

    Just got on a 323 out of New Street and was surprised to see that WMT have fitted the unit with screens at each end of the carriage that scrolls between information on the destination, next stop, connecting services and a BBC news feed. Anyone know if this will be fitted to all 323’s or is it a...

    Shortest/Cheapest IEP Journey

    Ideally yes, but I wouldn’t mind coming back on a different route/to a different station if needs be. Happy only using an IEP one way!

    Shortest/Cheapest IEP Journey

    Happy with standard class, from what I’ve heard, first class isn’t that much of an upgrade on a GWR IEP!

    Shortest/Cheapest IEP Journey

    I’m in London for a couple of days and would like to try out an IEP while I’m here. What’s the cheapest and/or quickest means of doing this? I know there’s no guarantee which services will be run with an IEP but can keep an eye out if I know what route to look for! Thanks :D
