I thought Kirknewton was an automatic operation crossing, I never knew about the plunger operation by the driver however. Interesting.

First off, apologies if this is in the wrong post category, I am posting this here because I have a question regarding Kirknewton level crossing. Today, at 14:57pm, I was driving my lorry towards the level crossing, from the Kirknewton side. As I approached the crossing, the barriers were up &...

I understand what you are saying about the size of the job to put a new station in, however, the way that they are building & the sheer size of the development, It would not surprise me if they were to. I believe that the old quarry is earmarked for future development. I will ask about the...

Regarding Winchburgh, In my job, I deliver regularly to all of the house building site’s in Winchburgh, as my work supplies building materials. The expansion of Winchburgh is massive, & I mean massive. It’s also well underway now. There are plans to make a slip road off the M9 to Winchburgh, So...

I have recently received my Cat C provisional entitlement & it's the same, doesn't mention it on the actual licence, but checking online, it does.

I have experienced very large groups of football fans in Newcastle Station, on a derby day aswell. (Newcastle Vs Sunderland) I found it a little uncomfortable in the ststion at that time, due to the atmosphere that Sunday, it was electric, it really was not a good idea to be there if you were a...

Najab & hexagon789, Thank you both for answering. You learn something new everyday.

I appreciate that this is slightly off topic, but, I am curious to know, are there any power cars left with valenta engines?...or have they all now been re-engined with MTU's?

Here is a video of the above mentioned 43152 & 43031 on the move to Dundee. Only been on for an hour.

I was just watching a YouTube live rail cam, York South (Holgate Junction) Around 15-20 mins ago, a Scotrail HST set passed, definitely a scotrail HST, It had the 7 cities branding & colours.

Regarding the new depot. If, & I say if, it is indeed the old West Lothian Council depot at Deans, they might want to evict the travellers first, that have very recently set up camp there. Quite a few by the looks of it. Sorry to go off topic, but I thought it was worth a mention.

Regarding the new depot in Livingston, Have LCB looked at the now closed Jabil Factory in Oakbank industrial estate? That is an impressive size inside & outside & I am speaking from personal experience regarding the size & scope of that building. You most definitely could get quite a lot of...

Sorry about that. I think I have fixed it?

I don't know if anyone here is aware of this, but I couldn't find any thread about it. This morning on the A71, an E & M Horsburgh Coach caught fire. No one was injured or hurt & all were evacuated from the bus. The cause of the fire is unknown as of yet, However, the Vehicle involved appears...

I'm not an "armchair expert"....I don't have the in depth knowledge of everything to do with the railway unlike some. My questions & other peoples are genuine & are not blaming or trying to blame anyone. I thought this was a discussion forum?

I'm sure I read in one of the first few posts on here that there was no staff on board the train left behind?

No need to apologise. It's all good.

I think the poster was referring to the actual station cctv itself, not the train cctv.

How are the 334's coupled up? Is it electronically locked once coupled together? I.e...does the driver have button to couple/un -couple the train? If so, is it possible that the wrong button was pressed when setting off? Sorry for all the questions, I don't have an in depth knowledge of the...
