    SWR Class 458 to be retained

    Do we have a source for the number of units to be reintroduced so we can update the master thread?

    The WCML was closed south of Carstairs as well today, so definitely a bad day for everyone involved

    Ah perfect, I thought that it might have already been plain-lined so that does clear everything up. Definitely a terrible one to try and signal around, but ultimately nothing of value will be lost from plain lining this.

    Points 86a/b are the crossover from the up main to down main at Craigentinny Jn. Point 85a is the point from down main into Craigentinny Depot. Point 67a/b are the junction from the Leith Docks Branch onto the up main at Portobello Junction. Point 66a/b are the crossover at Portobello...

    Which crossing is it exactly, because millerhill depot being out of wack would suggest it's somewhere at Niddrie south junction, which wouldn't impact the main ECML. They are also running from Millerhill depot through Craigentinny and into Waverley as I send this, with 5R81 making the trip...

    Ah fair enough Yeah I thought this was the case, but thought it worth a check

    Do LNER still sign the short diversion via Millerhill, and is that still signalled to passenger standard? I assume it's not happening for a combination of the above and that its a bit awkward with the half hourly Borders services.

    Master list of rolling stock changes and tenders

    The last few messages have been incorporated into the table. We are still missing info about the 323s and the 458s which I'll try and pin down. Also there hasn't been any official announcement on the TfW 153s since they were unveiled so I'm struggling to pin that down

    Master list of rolling stock changes and tenders

    This is a perfect example of why I wanted to start this thread. There have been far too many tenders for antone to keep track of, so it makes sense to have them all in one place. I'll update the document when I get a chance. Regarding the EWR sublease, do we have any more information about...

    Thank you for letting me know, I'll update to reflect this Thank you, I'll do some digging I feel like it's worth it even for a snapshot, and I still need to find things to do in my retirement, so I'm completely happy to do this.

    Master list of rolling stock changes and tenders

    Honestly its for my own benefit as much as for the benefit of the forum. I thought it was high time we had a pinned reference, just because the state of flux and the amount of changes to keep track of has been so overwhelming. To complete the table, does anyone know where there would be more...

    Very true, I had indeed forgotten that little change

    Master list of rolling stock changes and tenders

    I would argue that although all the planning documents do suggest hydrogen was the original plan, the subsequent widespread de-adoption of hydrogen and advances in battery technology make the latter more likely. I have updated to reflect this. Do you know how many of these (if any) have been...
