Hi all If have a spare 27mins from 09:33-10:00 Very interesting to watch and proves under virgin trains the timetable they had was heavily reliant on rdw. Filmed on Wednesday 12/10/2022 https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/6384e02e-7ef4-4801-afc6-b063a7384c82

Cheers for that info Tom, i'm sure it will come useful to me one day.

I saw on the news that recently, the service could be "axed", but the airport company wanted to keep it. Just what I heard.

Indeed. Silverlink seem to be using a lot of FGE 321's on the WCML. Havant seen 321s with FGE logos at Stratford yet though :)

The 185 was apparently to have been scheduled to be on test in the Manchester area on the 22nd of December. Dunno if anyone saw it :)

LOL! you would think that the Desiros (being so high teach) would use their own teachnology. lol!

My best haulage was when VXC class 47s came down to Pompey on push pull duties from Portsmouth and Southsea to Blackpool North. Although when they first started the service, the service would run to and from Portsmouth Harbour. After passengers alighting at Ports Hbr, the train had to go to...

This is indeed FANTISTIC news. I'm so happy to hear about the refurbishment upgrade on the HST sets is to continue. I am also looking forward to seeing the new livery. :D

I did my work experience back in April/May 2004 for SWT at Guildford. I was in different roles from RO2 to Announcers office. I was also taken up to Waterloo head quarters and learned how SWT decide on which trains should if needed to, run via a certain route. I was also taken up to Feltham to...

4th of December 2005 was a Sunday! 2nd of December was a Friday. Sounds like an eventful 20 mins at Newbury though :D

I couldn't agree more with you joy54. Mk2's are good coaches, but I still don't think that it's the best built coaching stock built by B.R. Sorry, but I think Mk3's are better! :D

oh dear, thats another 1 as well as Seth who is a fan of Mk2's :roll: I have said this once and I will say it again, especaily for Seth. MK2 Brakes are too loud!!!!!!

Mine are: 43(HST) 47 37 57 52 31

i would have thought that the platforms between newcastle and Glasgow (apart from Edinburgh Waverley) where too short for the gner eurostars, they struggle enough fitting the coaches into the longest platform at Kings X.

really? i'd join ya! :wink:

The one time I traveled on heathrow connect, a member of staff had a right go at me for photographing the 360 at paddington, also when i go the service from Ealing Broadway, the ticket inspector hurried me to show my travelcard I don't think these certain members of staff on the heathrow...

BBC National News had a report on this and also said that the main Chunnel Tunnel route was un-effected HBA135

I like your Names FGW Fan As always, The "Lon Polly" line is always gladly happy to Recieved a huge amount of Desiros on it's routes! :D :D HBA135

Sounds interesting to see class 47's on the WCML thanks for the news Chris! :D HBA135

that surprises me, although everytime i have traveled on the ECML i tend to see "one" liveryed 317's at hornsey depot but to see one going to Peterborough is suprising unless it was a stopper, but other than that, thats suprising as they are only capable of 75mph HBA135
