https://www.greatrailwayvideos.com/ Does anyone have experience with this line of DVDs/Blu-rays? They have a YouTube channel, but they have only uploaded some of their heritage railway cab rides, with no clips or trailers for their main line videos, and I've never seen any reviews. Are they...

I wondered if I should put this in 'Railway history and nostalgia', but there are still some of these things in service. Basically, as we all know, the larger diesel electric designs of the late 50s and early 60s often had noticeable 'bonnets' at both ends ahead of the cabs. This is a distinct...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/northern-franchise-to-end-1-march-2020-with-operator-of-last-resort-to-take-over.199335/ I hope the new operator orders more self powered trains immediately, including a Hydrogen powered fleet for the Tees Valley. I always thought...

At about 13:30 today, I saw an LNER HST pass over Yarm Viaduct, heading south. The leading power car was 43206. What train was this?

Next week, I will be on a short trip to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, flying out on the Wednesday and back the following Monday/Tuesday. I will be going with my father, who will be driving. Now, l'm well aware there are few trains in the area, but I like at least one experience of a big North...

The Class 68 is one of the longest locos currently in service (20.5m), and weighs 85 tonnes for RA 7. But why? I know it's most powerful loco on our rails, but the engine is only 85 litres. In context, that is smaller than an 08 engine, let alone that of a 20, 25, or 33, all of which were...

Most of the 'warship' names carried by the Class 42s been carried by several warships, but was each loco named after a single, specific warship? If so, how do you tell which one? And were any named after ships that fought in WW1?

I understand that Virgin Trains East Coast will run a direct service from Middlesbrough to London once the Hitachi 800s are on line. My question is, what route will it take from Middlesbrough to the ECML?

A somewhat strange difference between trains and buses. On local service buses, the front entrance is always stepless. The first low floor buses appeared more than 20 years ago, and as of this year, step entrances are banned on local service buses, even double-deckers. So why do all trains still...

Okay, I know I have raised this indirectly on this forum, and more directly on another, but I am still confused. When Arriva won the Northern franchise last year, most of the publicity surrounded a new service linking the major cities, branded Northern Connect, featuring upgraded stations and...

My favourite railway location is Yarm Viaduct, but it doesn't seem very popular with filmmakers. So far, I've found only these two dvds. http://www.videoscene.co.uk/mainline-series-green-arrow.html http://www.videoscene.co.uk/riding-the-dcr-loco-move-derby-to-grosmont.html Anyone here...
