    GWR Intercity Express Train (IEP) initial diagrams & allocations

    How many of the Paddington to Weston-super-Mare services are now operated by 80x units? I'm travelling down next Monday and I'd like to go on one if possible. Apologies if this has been covered - I haven't been keeping up to date on this thread and I don't really want to sift through multiple...

    Loop and siding between Gospel Oak and Upper Holloway

    There used to be a goods yard on that site, which appears on old (1950s) maps of London. I think the loop itself is too short for most of the goods trains that use the line, but there are a few goods trains that are scheduled to use it.It's also used by a couple of Overground ECS moves each day...

    RAIL or Modern Railways

The idea that decimalisation was the reason for inflation or for the decline in value of the pound is deeply misguided, as is thinking...

    If you became director of HS2 ltd...

    I personally think that they missed a trick in not allowing space during the King's Cross Area redevelopment for an HS2 terminus there - there was so much unused brownfield land there until very recently. Building the HS2 terminus there would have enabled an HS1/HS2 link and eliminated the need...

    Gospel Oak to Barking Line (GOBLIN) electrification

    Sounds like NR have really cocked up. As someone who uses this line frequently this is incredibly infuriating. On the other hand that overground liveried 345 looks very nice indeed.
