    Urgent TOPS Requests

    Is anybody able to find out if 707024 and/or 707030 will be working passenger diagrams over the rest of this afternoon? Thanks in advance.

    Is TOPS numbering all over the shop?

    These are the current arrangements per the relevant standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_locomotive_and_multiple_unit_numbering_and_classification#2011_numbering_and_classification_alterations_and_extensions_-_TOPS

    Ideas for alternative (non Scotrail/FGW) sleeper services?

    This forum certainly wouldn't :lol:

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    If I understand you correctly, that's the standard industry format for e-tickets from all retailers, rather than a Trainsplit-specific choice.

    Potential future uses for class 68 & Mk5 sets?

    There's almost always a delay of anything from a week or two to a month or three for this sort of stuff on Wikipedia - it has to come through the "traditional" railway press machine (ie magazines and the websites thereof) first, then somebody has to see that that's happened and update the article.

    Tulse Hill to London Kings Cross 23 July

    I said that you needed to exclude buses as well as select the prefer-walking-if-faster option. I don't know why it's behaving this way though, since the via-London-Bridge route is timetabled as taking 8 or 9 minutes less than going via Brixton.

    Future of Third Rail

    To a certain extent the law has changed, inasmuch as things like the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and all manner of subsequent acts affecting business and landowners (that annoyinglu slip my mind at the moment) have increased the duty of care that these parties have to pay not just to...

    Can disabled drivers/passengers park in parent and child parking bays

    It comes from people using them to drive their children - who don't need to use special seats - a handful of miles to and from school in places where they have no conceivable need for four-wheel drive. Indeed, when my brother and I were wee lads needing car seats (some time in the past now) we...

    A few Docklands Light Railway questions

    Did you see where it said "Archived 8 August 2009..." at the end of reference 10? That link would have worked for you if you'd clicked it. I've changed it now to make the archive version the primary link.

    Tulse Hill to London Kings Cross 23 July

    I suspect that this engineering work on the 23rd is the problem, as there'll be no Thameslink service between Blackfriars and Sutton all day. Re-running the Journey Planner query with buses removed from the options tries to send you via Southern to Norwood Junction, and then Thameslink via...

    Eurostar’s shrinking ambitions

    Are there any orange liveried TGVs still in passenger service?

    No, you're something like 22 years too late. PSE Set 01 was repainted into a mix of the first three TGV liveries, including the orange at one end, in late 2019 for the type's farewell "tour", which ended in February 2020.

    Southern DaySave (01/07/2023) enquiry and advice

    IIRC it used to be the case that the order had to be manually added to the collection system by somebody at Southern's office, so the advance-purchase and Southern-TVMs-only requirements were necessary regardless of any other reason in order to make sure the ticket would actually be available in...

    Station announcements, station staff and train operation question

    Noting that officially it does have to be the same operator, so you were correct to rule out XC, but again in practice if you ask for permission it's often granted.

    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    That's the performance assumption for timetabling, not the actual stock allocated.

    Gatwick Airport and cheap fares

    No, they are required to be impartial across competing TOCs. Offering the cheapest through ticket that meets the passenger's needs fulfils this. This is the definition of impartiality from the ORR's Retail Market Review in 2014: ATOC's Retail Standard Guide, which is to the best of my...
