Hey, I hate to be a killjoy but the reopening of the section between Plymouth & Tavistock is mentioned in the latest GW RUS and it could be funded by both the council & developers, there is also mention of it being reconnected to the Barnstaple line as well for diversionary purposes when bad...

Both of them should be, however there are no guarantees about any of them as if there's a problem with a unit then a 450 will be substituted so you'll get either an 8-9 or 12 car formation instead.

You're company has pestered active drivers before & now you're pestering retired drivers about this subject, why not use the correct channels namely ASLEF & RMT and get their permission to approach drivers, instead of advertising on here & other railway forums. You won't get any help from me...

Can't really see a problem, surely it's not beyond new fangled technology to produce an upgraded Class 73/74!

It's been known to terminate at Guildford via Cobham on occasions &/or then run to Woking with buses forward.

Nice. I saw Clan Line out & about on one of its regular VSOE duties yesterday, I saw it go across the A3 at Wooden Bridge, just as I left B&Q.

Let's be blunt here. If the government wanted to put the S&D back it would do so, just by using CPO's to remove the necessary obstacles such as houses, offices etc. You can expect a considerable number CPO's to be used when they announce the route of HS2. If they (the proposers of the...

You did right mate, if you were travelling with a few friends then fine say something, but on your own it REALLY isnt worth the risk. The fact you WANTED to say something shows that you still care about these things but personal safety has to be number 1! What would have happened if you said...

Has he done the "easy" driver training then, if not how has he any idea what he is talking about? If he thinks conductor training is "hard" then he wouldnt have a chance in hell of getting through the driver assessments never mind the training, your colleague wants to keep his gob shut unless...

The one TOC which has raised its game is FGW. It's a shame that the reliability of the HST fleet seems to be falling & letting them down.

This happened a while back, although not in the evening, but early morning where a whole load of passengers couldn't get into a SWT station as the staff had locked it up after the last trains had gone & the early shift overslept. They could do absolutely nothing except watch the trains come in...

Cheeky git! :D

So Jeff Worsnop, you have complained about everyone elses ideas what do you propose as a solution?

I could not possibly comment further :wink:

Oh yeah multiple units are so much better, I mean it only takes 24 hours to add a coach to a Pendolino, FGW can add a coach to a HST (for the luggage) to run to Newquay in less than 1 hour! If you had a choice would you travel in peace and quiet in a mark 3 coach, or a voyager coach with the...

They will get there nest Tuesday, they are dealing with a bloke picking his nose while driver!

Dont go on there anymore, all the decent information has been so diluted I wouldnt trust it to give me a recipe to boil water :lol:

Why spend all that money re-engining the HSTs if they were going to be withdrawn soon? The whole IEP thing was just so much hot air to waste even more money on, why dont the government get all the RAILWAY managers, not poxy civil servants trying to be managers, in and let them sort the problem...

"People power" sounds more like a load of horlix to me!
