    Formula 1

    Despite Red Bull dominating I’ve been fascinated by this season, particularly Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin, it’s great seeing him make a good career move after quite a while making bad ones.

    It was a dominant win, and Ferrari are really throwing this title away. I dread to think what will happen if they mess up at Monza.

    The worst train today?

    In terms of the worst train, my opinion has changed and it’s now got to be the class 150, some are becoming increasingly tatty.

    AWC cast-offs!

    With 221142/143 being stored, I have a worrying feeling they may have the same fate as the 360/2s.

    Certainly seems that way, which is a shame.

    Avanti West Coast Rolling Stock Updates

    You’re welcome :). The work carried out on 221143 does seem like a bit of a waste of time now, unless storage is only temporary, which I’m starting to doubt.

    I wonder how much of this championship will be decided by Ferrari unreliability.

    Avanti West Coast Rolling Stock Updates

    It was fully repaired and was on a test run not that long ago. Images on Facebook display it in the full livery too.

    Avanti West Coast Rolling Stock Updates

    As well as the 390s being refurbished. Also, this looks like 221143, despite being repaired and receiving the Avanti livery, will not re-enter service with Avanti.

    I quite enjoyed the race in Spain, nice to see Russell fighting towards the front once more.

    How can Cross country overcrowding be alleviated?

    Been reported as 170638.

    In a way Lewis has, as he now has the second car wit the yellow camera, which would previously be the one Valtteri drove.

    Was losing Stagecoach/Virgin bad for the railway?

    The units in question, 158747-751, are currently with GWR, some forming part of the 158/9 3-car sets.

    I’m looking forward to Australia, but I’m not sure how to feel about having 4 DRS zones.

    Cross Country 1st class catering problems?

    That was changed in 2017 when 221144 was re-activated at XC. XC received the extra shop vehicle (221144s original), and Virgin received a standard vehicle I return (from 221136).
