    Old Modern Railways and Rail Engineer Magazines

    Good morning Would anyone like these? I have around 60. If not any ideas where would take them? I don’t want to recycle them as they must be worth something to someone

    Thameslink Ashford to Cambridge

    Hi all Has the 24tph Thameslink dream been given the boot? I am aware there is a large backlog of training for drivers to be using ATO, which I understand is a prerequisite for 24 tph (reliably anyway) Right now TL still runs the 2 tph Cambridge to Kings Cross which I had always assumed was...

    Mystery Class 313

    I'm assuming this is the network rail 313, any idea what it's doing and what coaches it's losing/gaining at Bowes Park? Can't seem to find a diagram after this one from Watton at Stone either. Thanks for any help in advance https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K03104/2020-11-26/detailed

    TfL Rail to Reading Fares

    So, I'm going to go back and forward a few times from Paddington to Reading on the 15th Dec, when TfL take over the GWR service. My best option would be to buy a Thames Valley Branches Day Ranger, which I have tried to do, but so far have been unsuccessful as I'm trying to get a 16-17 Saver...
