Hearing that automated announcements are now starting to be installed on the Class 170s. https://twitter.com/joshuabluedog/status/1674521873231511554?s=46&t=eHGcF720-AnHVl5nn7Ukaw

I think you need to give this whole "EMR is a shambles" claim a rest! It's frankly getting tiring hearing the same comment and does not contribute to this discussion. EMR is by no means perfect but credit where credit is due that they actually do operate a semblance of a service. Yes, COVID-19...

Towards the tail end of Central Trains franchise in 2007, Norwich - Liverpool was one of the 4 Citylink services that would either see Class 158s and/or Class 170s diagrammed , and could have been either 2 or 3 cars. 3-cars actually did well for capacity but even before EMT took over, 2-cars was...

Having travelled to Cornwall over a month ago and been on 32688 working the U4, I can definitely say the Geminis and the Myllennium Lolynes that often work the route are in very good condition for their age, certainly better than quite a lot of other operators considering that Kernow received a...

I believe he means the 1 and 26 which prior to COVID-19 were the only routes Nottingham City Transport gave change on so technically he is right to mention them.

I'm fairly certain 32756-32758/32760-32762 are still in active service and showing no signs of withdrawal just yet.

It's pretty much the norm in major cities to have next-stop announcements from bus operators, and Transdev is following that norm (though granted would have preferred a professional voice-over artist compared to local announcers but that's a personal choice). The point of the announcements is...

Nope, it's the original MML interior moquette.

EMR have released a video detailing the design process of the Class 810.

Given the mix-and-match nature of the Class 170s EMR will be inheriting (WMR’s 170s feature Lazzerinis instead of Chapman, same as the majority of XC’s 170s except 170397/398 which are Chapman), it makes more sense to refit the entire fleet to make them uniform, WMR’s 170s are not much changed...

An artist impression of what the Class 170s will look like after refurbishment, the vinyl poster applied on 170417. Based on the image, the 170s looks like they will be gaining FISA Lean seats as already found on Greater Anglia's Stadler fleet and WMR's Class 196s.

Might have been seeing things but a bit surprised to have seen a West Midlands Railways Class 170 at Derby Etches Park this morning, the view slightly obscured as it was behind the main shed. Prior to East Midlands Trains, Class 170s were frequently used on regional services across the East...

I can definitely agree to a certain extent... It’s definitely true that during the 1960s and 1970s, the aircraft market astly different to what we see now. Whilst I lean more towards Boeing, I don’t think you give credit to Airbus where it’s due... The Airbus A300 whilst a slow seller became...

A further stretch of the Airbus A350 beyond the -1000 has been studied as it became evident the Boeing 777-9 was at the time selling better than the current Airbus A350-1000 back in 2018. Plans do change of course... The original purpose of the Airbus A350-1000 was to replace the Airbus...

I wouldn't count out the Airbus A330neo just yet... The Boeing 787 still has a massive backlog at present and there are a larger portion of previous generation Airbus A330s that will be coming up for retirement in the near future which Airbus will certainly be keeping a close eye on. Given the...

Believe it or not, when the Airbus A350 was initially being designed as a concept back in the 2000s, it was suppose to be a newer Airbus A330 with new wings and engines... With the advent of the Boeing 787 and popularity of the Boeing 777, the design specs changed with the Airbus A350 featuring...

Quick update, 43308 is now at Neville Hill. https://twitter.com/HiPa_IC125_/status/1269693491657019394

Rehashing an old forum since its been a while since the last update, Nottingham Heritage Vehicles have two more low-floor buses that have since been preserved. -East Lancs OmniDekka Scania N94UD 676 (YN05 WFE) -East Lancs OmniTown Scania N94UB 204 (YN04 ANF)
