https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/04/steam-locomotives-in-netherlands-to-be-converted-to-battery-power.html Hi guys So, not entirely sure where to chuck this, but this is certainly surprising news Do we think this might actually work?

Yeah, I misremembered. @Recessio has posted the correct information I think it is mentioned in the exhibit/information board in Chesham waiting room (again, not entirely sure)

I remember having a fair amount of fun on a Pacer from Cardiff to Severn Tunnel Junction back in 2019, the doors made a right BANG when a IC125 blasted past! :D

Ive certainly read somewhere (cant remember where) that the Chesham branch was rather neglected by LU and that there were considerations to close the line in the early 1990s due to expensive bridge repairs. I believe Hertfordshire County Council stumped up the cash in the end. Rest assured, no...

I find it mind boggling this isnt the case. According to statistics its actually Friday that is still the busiest day of the week (as it was before the pandemic)

Hang on, to passenger services as well??

Fantastic, thanks!

Heyyah, me again... Wanting to catch this tour next Sunday (14th April) on the Lickey. Railway Touring Company havent released the timings yet (fair enough i suppose) Does anyone have a rough idea yet what the timings are yet, or is it just a waiting game at the moment?

Ahh fair enough. Back to the drawing board then...

So im a little confused... Anyone know whats going on this weekend? (6th April) RTT is showing a very sparse service from Bedford to Bletchley direction only with a rather more frequent RRB.

Shoot... OK. Thanks for the heads up

Me being an idiot again... Was trying to amend my advance ticket for the train home tonight on the LNER website. Turns out you can only cancel it. (Yes i know thats the whole point of advances but GWR for instance lets you amend free of charge) Looked all over the page for a 'cancel refund'...

I suppose there may be more of a market for that sort of thing between Hove and London and the 2hr+ journey from Portsmouth Harbour to Victoria

Im not sure i understand the reference, whats the significance? To the best of my knowledge, Westerns didnt work the Chiltern route?

OH! I thought you were talking about the Belmond Pullman, apologies! :E

Sorry, cant answer your question, but the Pullman does not exist anywhere on RTT. Do you know the scheduled arrival time at Plymouth please?

An utter mess... NR Possession handed back late, causing the sleeper to be delayed, causing a knock on effect for the rest of the day. There is supposedly issues in the Cardiff area as well, so its not entirely fair to blame it all on the resignalling project i suppose. To be honest, i was...

I'll admit, the reason i was asking was so that it could justify the hypothetical (purely in my own head) reopening of the Kingswear line to National Rail services ;) The rationale being, i seem to remember Beeching himself suggesting that the line wasnt a total basket case, if only for the...

Im no sailor, but they seem to manage in places like Bideford

Hm that's interesting. I've always wondered that if a bridge had been built, the Kingswear line may never have closed
