    Collision and derailment near Salisbury (Fisherton Tunnel) 31/10/21

    One thing to remember here is that, if I've read rightly, 1/2 - 3/4 of the GWR train remained on the rails at the time? Therefore it would be assumed that the track circuit was still showing occupied and therefore protecting the train from the rear (the crew wouldn't know the signaling had...

    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    AFAIK they are only booked to training runs on Tuesday-Thursday.

    Progress of delivery of cascaded/refurbished/PRM modified stock to TFW/Wales and Borders

    Out of interest, is there anywhere these TfW rules on PRM toilets can be viewed?

    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    Im led to believe both sides were made aware of the issues with train length v platform length at the design stage. The solution was the extention of the platforms. For what ever reason, this doesn't seem to be happening at Buckley. As for the facilities available at Wrexham, there are people...

    Welsh fleet deployment programme rationalised

    Llanwrtyd has to be taken at extreme caution heading towards Llandrindod too. The step boards are very close to the platform edge as you swing out of the loop.

    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    The question then is, which communities will have to miss out from the new more frequent service which has the potential to profoundly benefit commuters. This question I an others find unacceptable. 2 class 150 units currently maintain the hourly service so 4 class 230s could maintain a full...

    Welsh fleet deployment programme rationalised

    Other way round to what was referred to in the post. 153314+150241 ex Shrewsbury 153303+158828+158830 making their way to Shrewsbury.

    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    I was shown it at the time, wish I'd paid more attention to the head code as I can't find it myself now. Be aware, anything going to Cardiff from Long Marston will most likely be a 153. The 230s will be heading north. Certainly wouldn't expect to see a TfW move this month at least.

    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    I think there's a suggested delivey date of the end of Feb for 006. There's a regular path in for 002 to make it's way from Long Marston to Wrexham but I think that's a case of it will happen when it happens.

    Progress of delivery of cascaded/refurbished/PRM modified stock to TFW/Wales and Borders

    In theory it shouldnt have worked for a couple of days at least as Chester were doing some prep work before sending them off.

    Out of interest, what group was the post on? There's talk of at least one set needing to go back to Eastleigh.

    Clearence issues, not sure what network actually need to do or as and when they were requested to undertake the work.

    Transport for Wales 769's

    It was supposed to have arrived before Christmas but.......... As for 002 apparently there's not a lot in common with the TFW ones, apart from the drive train, so while it might give some handling experience it's not going give a massive amount of training to drivers and guards.

    I don't think that's what the post was implying, as the issues have already been reported. To answer the original question I don't think theres been a decision made but it has been suggested that it could be possibility.
