As previously mentioned, the SPS railtour fleet have retention toilets (non-vacuum) funded by NR. Additional work is ongoing to overhaul the chassis and crash pillars together with CDL figment, but to date there are not enough coaches overhauled to make up a rake... A lot of money is being...

Morning all, could anyone please advise the workings today of 377623 and 387220? Thanks

I guess the obvious question is what profile the TFW 230s have, and are they seeing a similar wear pattern on standard track? Is anyone aware if these are also P8 or another profile?

Google maps shows a 5 minute walk along Gordon House Road and Highgate Road. Obviously slightly longer on the way back....

It was Network Rail who mandated CET for all stock, and thus they paid for fitment to all the heritage stock. The ORR mandated CDL (see many, many threads) but as they are not the owner/operator of the tracks, they are not liable for the costs.

Thank you!

Morning all, can anyone please tell me what was on this mornings 4H47 service https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H08413/2024-02-10/detailed Thanks

5Q77 was cancelled on 01/02/2024 - late arrival of the loco to haul it perhaps? Nothing yet in for next week - at least nothing showing when I just looked, but these are all STPs...

Out this afternoon e.g. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G05371/2024-01-15/detailed#allox_id=0

Errr, change at Stratford??? Logically as soon as you extend a service that operates in the core outwith the area then any delays it picks up en route back to London cause many issues to the already tight headways.

Yes - see an example https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W30726/2024-01-11/detailed#allox_id=0

Invariably there will have been logic applied, it's just that forums are not party to all the available information.... usually when something makes no sense whatsoever the reason is we don't have all the facts that went into the decision making. Of course some of the inputs may have been...

RTT shows them calling at platforms 4,5 and 8 - were other platforms the issue?

Reported elsewhere as 319370 and 319361 https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K07035/2023-12-22/detailed

Thanks for the replies, that was what I hoped would be the case and good to have it confirmed!

Before my head explodes, can anyone advise whether I would need to tap at these readers if travelling St Pancras International - Brentwood via TL and EL using contactless? Does it make any difference in cost for example? Thanks

I think this may the item you referred to? This is an ink ribbon for an Edmondson machine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325909972786

I really can't see WCRC walking away from the huge cash cow that is the Jacobite, and the costs of fitting CDL to the stock used would be returned quite quickly. However if Mr Smith decides it's not worthwhile I'm sure another operator with deep pockets would jump in there....

Why no SRPS railtours? They own their own stock which will have CDL fitted once the overhaul programme is complete (they already have CETs fitted).
