    London Northwestern removing First Class from May?

    mods feel free to move the thread if it’s not in the right place Been looking through RealtimeTrains to see if London Northwestern has any changes, and I noticed on a lot of services that it said “standard class only” seating. Is this a hint to the removal of First Class like Southeastern in...

    GWR should operate in the Chiltern line, by extending the Greenford service

    Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/parly-train-in-west-london-reported-to-be-replaced-by-a-bus.239293/ what would be better is if they built platforms on the adjacent line to Greenford tube, and had the GWR service run through!!

    Could LNWR (paths permitting) use an ex Rugeley path to run a fast trent valley service to Liverpool?

    Basically thread title Could this be feasible? The only reason I suggest this is because my last TV run skipped all stations between Rugby and Stafford, so could this be possible? My idea would be Euston-Milton Keynes-Rugby-Stafford-Crewe-Runcorn-South P'Way and Lime Street Opinions...

    Could the 350/2s be configured to 2+2 and sent to GN for Cambridge fasts?

    Basically the thread title. Are 350s cleared on ECML? By doing this would free up all ECML 387s to send to Southern (cart off the 313s) Could kitting the 379s with shoes be viable for Southern to further standardise the fleet?

    Should the GX Brand be scrapped Post-COVID

    whats your thoughts on this, GX has been out of service since March 2020, and the paths could be used for a semi fast Southern London-Brighton, and then potentially a London- Gatwick stopper via Redhill aswell we have 6 GX 387s transferring to GN, so will this brand survive thoughts?

    Could Chiltern Electrify with third rail?

    Hi As The CMLs bridge are too low for 25Kv AC OHLE, would the DfT allow Network Rail to electrify with Third Rail, even though its outdated, but it's better than a carbon-dioxide Mainline. Also the HOH-AMR section is Tube third rail, so it makes sense, surely? Anyway I just wanted your thoughts...
