How come? If there are two engines wouldn’t this double the potential speed?

If you join two trains that are capable of 120 mph together to make one big train, does this mean that the maximum speed of the big train increases to 240 mph as there are two engines?

Do you think that HS2 is a good investment in infrastructure, or do you think that by the time it is build, it will be outdated?

If you could live and commute to anywhere, where in the UK would be your favourite train journey to take everyday?

Are the current stock of Meridian trains being replaced on the MML when the franchise is renewed? If so, what will happen to them?

How old were you and where were you travelling to? Also, when was your first railway journey alone?

Which Railway Line in the UK do you most enjoy travelling on and why? :)

How well travelled is everyone on here and also, for those who are, how do the railway systems found overseas differ from ours in the UK?

Ah, I am so sorry - I have never visited that section and didn't realise it was there. Can it be moved?

After they were elected they showed me their true colours - all of their gestures of 'friendship' were fake and sought to manipulate me into helping them. Some can...

I was thinking of a game that is both exciting to play and has the added bonus of stimulating lots of discussion about UK Railway stations! How it works is that I will start by giving three facts about an unnamed UK railway station. From what I have said, posters on this thread should then be...
