I read up about this a while back and did managed to find some photos of this event taken by the same person: LMS Garratt 47982 being banked by LNER U1 69999 and MR 0-10-0 58100 in circa 1950. The photos were in the Model Rail May 2017 Issue 234 Britains Best Climbs.

The Summer Saturday 10.35am Paddington to Penzance was hauled by a pair of Kings between Newton Abbot and Laira in the 1950s, the front King having come off the 10.30am Cornish Riviera. The Cornish Riviera ran non-stop through Plymouth so the King was exchanged for a pair of Halls at Newton...

There was a Brighton to Paignton service operated by South West Trains in the late 90s on weekends only. I'm not sure if it was summer only or it did operate all year.

The Carriage Working Notices (CWNs) from Winter 1946 shows all trains from Uxbridge Vine Street were through trains to Paddington all day (10 trains SX, 13 trains SO). Compared with the CWN for Winter 1961 it was mainly a DMU shuttle between Uxbridge and West Drayton with through trains to...

Sorry I don't but there is a VT timetable from that period here: https://dpsimulation.org.uk/virgin-trains-timetables.html Plus one for TransPennine Express: https://dpsimulation.org.uk/transpennine-express-timetables.html There doesn't appear to be one for Northern Rail, even on Wayback Machine...

These are from the 30th May to 25th September 1999 GB timetable

A bit late for your time period but during the SWT era the CIGs and CEPs were interchangeable in their diagrams, either one could appear on their workings. They had separate diagramming for the outer suburban and another for the greyhound units. The VEPs had their own set of diagrams I believe...

317+322 combo on a passenger service at Ipswich 1999: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tibshelf/32767467785/in/photolist-iasQHK-RVxQz8-nuTHGG-BLWDiG-29FABgn-PW8vsX-ac4wk9-ac4wus-Q679T2-ac4wpq 4-VEP/4-TC hybrid 3582 (someone mentioned this earlier): (skip to 0:37)

Thanks both, this web does give a small info on the workings which do fall in line with what you have mentioned. I have seen images of 365s at Charing Cross and on the Bexleyheath line so interesting to see what they turned up on. https://www.kentrail.org.uk/Class%20365.htm

Does anyone have the full set of 365 diagrams when in service with Connex SE and later South Eastern Trains? I know they primarily served the Victoria to Ramsgate/Dover fasts via Chatham (1tph) but am unsure if they went on other mainline routes or even metro services. I recall reading that at...

Thursdays and Fridays only from Euston to Manchester, 18:57 via Crewe followed by the 19:00 via Stoke

Many thanks Fireless and BR111. Another question is regarding signalling with a speed restriction displayed. Does this restriction apply until 'completing' a junction or a crossover or until the next signal? For example, the track you are on is 120 km/h and the signal displays a 60 as you will...

Fascinating thread, I have a big interest in German/Deutsche railways and always love visiting there. My last visit there was Berlin a few years ago and was lucky to get 143s with rather ancient stock before they were replaced by the Talent 2s. I have a question regarding stopping positions at...

Thanks

I was on 165114 on the 17:12 Paddington to Reading stopper (2R55), was this a one-off (seems likely as it came off a Didcot local)? Didn't do too well as it kept losing time, 5 late by West Drayton.

On my local line, the 07:44 and 08:44 Maidenhead to Paddington calls at Southall but skips Ealing Broadway. During off-peak all local 387 trains call at Ealing Broadway and half (2 of 4) call at Southall otherwise runs non-stop to Hayes & Harlington. Suppose both services are unusual for a fast...

Thanks for the link. Looking at the images online, the northbound platform does look significantly smaller than the southbound.

Looking at the national timetable (Dec 2007) when the Moorgate branch or Widened lines was in operation, I noticed a peculiarity: all passenger trains towards Moorgate called at Barbican station but this was not the case for the opposite direction as according to the timetable, first stop for...
