    Mark 4 coaches with HST power cars

    Apologies if it's been covered before. Would it be possible to do this, as converting power car ETS from 400v to 1000v (if feasible) could be a lot quicker than converting MK 3s doors and toilets?? Any thoughts?

    Sheffield...Any plans?

    As a regular XC passenger through Sheffield, the vast majority of delays occur on the approaches from both north and south. From Swinton in the north & from Dore in the south. Are there any plans to increase track capacity in these areas and/or remodel the station itself?

A quick look on RTT shows the stopper was let out in front of us...

    Qualified Drivers vacancies.

    A bit of a daft question, when filling out an application, when completing a personal statement which has to include 'Why do you want to work for us?' What sort of things should you put, so not to sound cheesy?

    Roxby Gullet (Scunthorpe)

    Having a browse of RTT and have found a couple intriguing paths to Roxby, one from Collyhurst Street (nr Man Vic) & one from the former Rossington colliery site (nr Doncaster). They don't appear to have run yet, but what are they conveying?
