Very nice, I thought that Alphington line was totally unused

Oh my mistake, Long weekend I must try to pay more attention :lol: I guess it was a low speed derailment with minimal damage?

Whops sorry I missed the earlier post, If a moderator could delete this what ever needs to be done, Thanks David.

I just came across this on the service disruptions, just out curiosity I was wondering if anyone had any more information on this disruption and what exactly would an "operating incident" involve? http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/today.html#sabb5f231a124d6fad346675fb4c5dd4...

Entertaining thanks to commentary but stupid as hell. Makes you wonder what else people are doing out there for a laugh...

That so many people get killed on the railways when they decide to do things like this? Never would I have even thought someone would try this. I don't know how they managed to dig it out let alone crawl under the track bed before someone saw them...

We'll I've just got though the first initial stages and have been invited to an assessment day, I've not yet received the email about date/ what it will involving but I was just wondering ahead if anyone has any information on what they will be assessing me on someone that's even been to one...

Thank you! We'll I'm going to give it all I've got it will be be a dream job if I get it, If dont pass I know I've tried my best and I'll work out where I went wrong and try again. Sorry for thread jacking Lol :twisted:

Congratulations! I've just my self applied for the Engineering Apprenticeship with network rail I've got though the first initial stages and I just waiting for a date to be set for an assessment day it's gonna be tough but fingers crossed I'll have the same luck as you! :)

Well that was my thoughts of an underground terminal if it was going to be right in the heart of the city, I also had to do a double take on the speed its rather ambitious to say the least. I'm still wondering how they are planning on funding this :S

Take a guess, I doubt they even know :D

"A major new station in the heart of London will be part of plans for a north-south high-speed rail line to be submitted to the government this week. The first stage of the 250mph new line - from London to the West Midlands - could open by 2025." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8432051.stm

Thanks for that link SWT Driver. Ah so it was the sleeper that saw him, I thought it would have been at that time but wasn't totally sure. Seems like what ever happened he could have been there for some time, hopefully some more information will flow trough when the btp work out what happened.

Dose anyone have any more information about this incident? http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/sab17ddb38be4bf9b8f197b8809ff5a9/details.html I've had a look on a few of the news sites but read/ heard nothing apart from what I heard on the radio this morning around 7am...

Nice shots... Here is 66127 http://i36.tinypic.com/2gxk121.jpg (At least i think) At Axminster on Sunday :D 66186 was also working behind. I guess at least one class 66 will at Axminster over the weekend as I do believe the line is closed between Crewkerne and Honiton all weekend for works.
