    Actually it was people in Hampshire who were complaining about lack of comfort.

    TPE 350s Scotland

    Are they faster though? The 350s out accelerate most other trains and the 225s are known for being slow to accelerate being loco hauled and the 91s being geared for 140MPH. Unless there was a long period of high speed (125) running, then the 350s would be quicker. Catering on trains is...

    SWT 158's

    Of course that only applies for SWT. At other TOCs both 2 car and 3 car trains are 158s. SWT have 159s as a legacy of the 159/0 being a NSE spec 3 car 158. The differences (as originally supplied) were retention toilets and 2+1 first class seating in 159s. They also have the more powerful...

    Public TRUST system

    If GENIUS gives out personal information like mobile phone numbers then there is no way that access to that should be made public. That is why Ferret is miffed that these logins are being given out. Personally I believe these IT systems are private for a reason. If the railway choose to...
