I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere on here before but a brief search on my phone didn't bring anything up. Is there any facility online that you can check mileage between stations on the tube network?

Have the yellow minions been purchased by LSL?

Just looking for a bit of advice. I think I know the answer to this but I am plotting a bit of a disjointed routing to kill 2 birds with one stone as an end of year outing. The key aspect of the route is basically Stafford-Shrewsbury-Swansea-Cardiff-Manchester-Crewe-Stafford and to do this, the...

Can't see this mentioned elsewhere but 5 UK based Freightliner 66s have been earmarked for export to Poland. 66526 was due to move to Immingham Docks today and something ran on the planned Midland Road-Immingham light loco job - can anyone confirm it was indeed 66526? Not sure on the other 4...

Hi all, I think I know the answer to this but just seeking confirmation. The West Yorkshire DaySaver ranger has an evening restriction between 1600-1830 but I just want to clarify that it is not valid on services timed to depart from 1600 until 1830 and that I could take a service timed to...

Does anyone have any updates on these hybrid shunters please? I have a record of 18001 & 18002 having moved to the Chasewater for running in and then 18001 moving on to Whitemoor for testing with GB but nothing else. I believe a number of these are now built and some now stored at Wolverton...

If a connection is missed on a regular passenger TOC because of a late running charter you are on, does the passenger TOC still have to accept you on the next service available as they would if a connection was missed because of delays by other TOCs? I am considering the Intercity charter from...

Evening all, Am I right in my thinking that minimum connection time at Tamworth is 5 minutes? If so, if I was to catch 1M00 2250 Derby-Tamworth scheduled to arrive Tamworth at 2109 to connect with 1U53 2316 Tamworth-Stafford (the last train to Stafford) I'd have to be provided with alternative...

I have a specific query about an 08 but instead of starting an entire thread for one question, I thought I would open it up as somewhere for anyone wanting to know the location of any 08's :) Anyway, my query relates to 08836. I'd previously had this one down as being at Reading Traincare but...

Hi all, I saw a photo on Twitter recently of the first XC 170 to be increased from a 2 car to 3 car unit. The number was 170623 so am I right to assume that this was previously 170523? Also, does anyone have any info on which carriage has been added to the set please? Apologies if there is...

Just noticed that 66997/998/999 are showing as being at Hull Docks - are these more European sheds for Longport to conduct work on does anyone know?

I am curious about 50007 and 50049 which have both been transferred to the Colas CFOL pool (Colas class 50 pool in essence). They have both spent a period of time at Eastleigh but are now showing back at Kidderminster on the SVR and as they are both in GB livery, I was wondering if their trip to...

Thought I would move discussion of this away from the 'Abrail website' thread and start a thread of my own for the UK Rail Log website I am developing as a replacement for the old Abrail website which ceased last year. I've spent much of the time in the 10 days since my last update trying to...

Hi all, are there any folks in the Rail Forums stratosphere with any level of expertise with regards to JavaScript - or more specifically Wix Coding (now known as Corvid) which I believe uses JavaScript language? I have, what I believe to be, a very basic problem but my knowledge of this is...

Hi guys, I'm just looking for a bit of information regarding the way that those who chase haulage as part of the hobby log their outings. In particular, with the recent changes on the West Coast Mainline (WCML) do you reset a unit back to being required for haulage (obviously not dismissing...

Hi guys, had a bit of a nightmare trek across the rail network in Friday and before I start to stick claims into TOCs I thought I'd run things by you guys first to make sure I'm claiming from the correct TOC. The outline of my journey was a Return from Stafford to Cardiff Central with split...

Just thought I'd give the heads up that Trainpal are currently offering the chance to win up to £80 off vouchers as part of 'Black Friday'. Same format as their Halloween giveaway in that you spin to win. If you have the app it should flash up as a notification on your device - that's how I...

Wasn't sure where to post this but thought this section might be where others who use spreadsheets for their outings are hiding :) I'm currently devising a 'one stop shop' database for myself and I've hit a bit of a problem with regards to the haulage aspect of it. I wasnt going to bother with...

Hi guys, bit of a strange request but does anyone happen to know of any websites that detail current liveries for each of the passenger and freight operators in the UK?

Whilst out and about in Anglia yesterday I found myself on 2 delayed services. The first one was for a journey from Ipswich to Norwich which was covered by my Anglia Plus Day Ranger. I was on the 1708 GA service from Ipswich which due to signalling issues at Shenfield arrived 37 late into...
