Is this a different type? From my reading, as there was no mention of a new or modified wagon I took it to be the same stock and thus could be used through the tunnel to Ashford. I haven't seen any mention of this. What I have seen that the "shunting to Ashford will be done by EuroTunnel". I...

I wonder if this is or could be an extension of the Perpignan service or from one of their other terminals they serve; Domodossola (Italy), Calais (France), Kaldenkirchen & Duisburg (Germany), Poznan (Poland) and Ashford.

It would appear not to involve road transport through the Tunnel to Ashford, but by rail. www.cargobeamer.com has details: "The truck arrives at the terminal with a semi-trailer. Any type of semi-trailer can be loaded by CargoBeamer. At the terminal, the semi-trailer is driven onto a waiting...

Hmm.. Here's an alternative. Fingers crossed this works ! https://www.railscot.co.uk/news/18/752/

This is a stated as prototype, a demonstration of actual hardware. Much better to show something actually working rather than a computer simulation of an idea. There must be a reason why Dunbar was chosen, whether this is because it's quiet and so not disruptive to the operations, it's location...

Materials Handling World magazine have an article on a Furrer & Frey prototype to be used to wire up freight terminals. They are to use "movable overhead cables" at the Tarmac plant at Dunbar as part of the 'Decarbonisation and Electrification of Freight Terminals (DEFT)' project. Other...

For a trade publication, it's rather poor for such an in-accurate description used to described the image in the above post: "Five fully-laden quarry wagons and a dozer managed to drag the bridge carried on six transporters onto firmer ground yesterday." Strangest looking tippers I've ever...

The Ibis on Princess Street, Manchester which is located right alongside the Castlefield corridor.

Although I do not work or are involved in this charter, only a local, I hope the following is of some use. Appleby has quite a good selection of family run food outlets. There are various cafes, pubs, restaurants and a decent chippy as well as a Spar and a Co-Op. As the market town is compact...

Tomorrow there is a 'Live Transport Questions' session from 09:30 to 10:30, I wonder if this will provide the oppourtunity for an announcement? For those interested, it is transmitted on the BBC Parliament channel. (232 on Freeview

There was an article published in the October 2011 edition of Rail Express recalling the final years of railtours over Woodhead which mentions a Merrymaker (remember them ?) THE PENNINE RAMBLER from Mexborough to York. This ran on October 7th 1978, and used 13003 from Rotherwood to Tinsley Yard...

It was unfortunate for it not to operate as planned, but hey ho ! It's not that I had to travel down on Saturday, stay overnight in Manchester (had forgotten how busy and expensive it can be !) ....... but there you go.

After a long time waiting on the Forum platform, I've finally bought a ticket (Split obviousley). Sunday 20th Octber appears to be the last date that the TransPennineExpress (Tipex) will be running over the line from Phillips Park to Ashburys West junction. (No service advertised after the...
