    c2c's last blue train

    Pogeymonz Black/White? I'm with you on that one. Really looking forward to it, regardless of the bad names nintendo have come up with... As has been said though, fairplay to C2C. It gets them more money for nothing out of the usual!!

    East Coast Eureka clockface timetable May 2011

    What is the point then? You can criticise/draw on ideas even if a timetable is only a draft...

    Wifi being fitted to XC Voyagers

    http://railwayeye.blogspot.com/2011/01/crosscountry-finally-fits-wifi-to-train.html XC Unit 220030 has been fitted with wifi in first class finally. Hopefully it wont be long before the rest of their trains start to see wifi being rolled out... Is it a franchise agreement to...

    Skipton HST going to 225

    Just to add to this, albeit a few days late... As far as I know, the one time a 91 tried going up on that line, it caused issues for all the other trains as they all came to standstills. About time too!! Hopefully this should help with the overcrowding which occurs on the line and then...

    EMA scrapped

    See, I'm all in favour of saving money, but as has been said the EMA itself was a bit of a joke. Personally I only knew 5 people who were in receipt of it, and 3 of them are now in Cambridge/Oxford, and I don't think they would have found themselves there without the EMA. Now the 6th form I...

    Smoking on Railway Platforms

    Isn't the governments stance more about stopping people smoking than providing them with places to smoke? Totally stupid.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    I think the point he is getting at is that you can purposely overdose (suicide, just wanting to get high etc) But then you can accidentally overdose etc as in your example with the child.

    This DMU cascade - what is actually going on?

    Thought so. I was just telling someone else what I thought I had heard.

    This DMU cascade - what is actually going on?

    I thought the Dft had put a dampener on electrification as far as Bristol ??

    Carriage cab view

    Their wifi (last time I used it at least) is awful though. Streaming a constant video of 100+mph running would surely push the wifi to the max??

    Should drugs be legalised?

    I don't think 'all' drugs should be legalised. If someone is recieving a supply of said drug from their GP's or a Café as they have in Amsterdam, they become dependant on it, and then can't find anywhere to get the drug from? Crime would increase and so would hospital admissions increasing...

    Platform Staff & Disability

    What sorts of things? Inability to run? Inability to bend down? Sorry, I need specifics - I should have made that clearer

    Platform Staff & Disability

    Hey Im' just wondering if someone could give me a rundown of what sort of disability/physical issues would stop someone from being platform staff?

    Class 172 Production Progress

    It sounds amazing!!

    Filthy Northern Stock

    When you think of the fact that alot of Northerns stock is diesel based, they're going to get dirty... Look at HST Powercars etc. And when you think that northerns services tend to operate around city areas on short routes, then it's a brainer as to why they get so dirty, inside and...

    xc voyager refresh

    It's been part of their franchise agreement since the beginning. The fact that EMT have been able to install wifi on their 222's without any issue suggests XC aren't doing it through blatant ignorance. I suspect Ainsworth74 is right, and that XC won't be installing wifi until said...

    XC HST Failure... Again!

    It depends where the spare set would be I guess If the train failed in Birmingham and the spare set was at Leeds/Edinburgh then it would be quicker to get a train from the depot at Derby

    Rioting students

    Agreed, it was stupid of him, but I think the only thing he's going to learn in prison is how to please a guy as opposed to actually thinking about what he's done.
