    Severn Valley Diesel Gala 2024 16th-19th May

    Did the Thursday and Friday and both days were superb. Not a single delay on Thursday and even with the HST issue causing a 15 min delay in the morning yesterday, by the early evening everything was back to time so kudos to the SVR for their TT planning and for how it was actioned. Great couple...

    Kite goes Exploring, Trip Reports

    Great write up as always and looked to be a really good trip to Scotland. Funnily enough, a week after you, I was on my own Scottish adventure and that also started with a 1st experience of the Caledonian Sleeper and doing it how I never thought I would, by taking the seated option. £55 for...

    GW 769s to Scotrail?

    Seen it suggested that 935 has been earmarked for a freight (presumably parcels) overhaul for a FOC

    CAF Civity for TfW: News and updates on introduction.

    Thank you :) School competitions don't get the same attention as 2x American "superstars"

    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    Would anybody happen to know whether it was 66743 or 66746 which hauled the Belmond Royal Scotsman on 1H91 0800 Dundee to Edinburgh on 1st May 2024 please? If you can expand with the coaching stock formation as well, that would be perfect :) Thanks

    Mileage query

    I'm absolutely not going down that rabbit hole :lol: I'm happy with how I've filled the gaps now so thanks so much for your help I'm sure TOCs wouldn't mind me attaching it to the bogie :) might need an upgrade on it just clicking though

    Mileage query

    I got it to around about that using the site posted by @zwk500 It doesn't need to be pinpoint. I try to be as accurate as I can but I know full well that this could send you mad if you try to do it to the precise chain! This is a great link! It's at least allowed me to produce an answer on a...

    Mileage query

    Appreciate the link (probably should have posted this in there haha) but I'm not really following the workings. There doesn't appear to be any obvious correlation between the mile start and mile ends and where the start and end points are. Probably just me as I am the same in the sense that this...

    Kite goes Exploring, Trip Reports

    Oh, they never mentioned any problems on the Saturday just that the stock hadn't been cleaned and watered as it just sat in Paddington overnight. Toilets are always a lottery on any railtour

    Kite goes Exploring, Trip Reports

    Our coach seemed to survive the journey although we were pre-warned at Paddington that they could go at any point. Became a pee lottery :D

    Mileage query

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure which section was suitable. I'm currently on 1S25 which is the CS Highlander divert via ECML. Because of the reversal at Wembley, I've been able to chalk off 2x 92s for the price of one but I'm struggling to find the mileage between Euston...

    Kite goes Exploring, Trip Reports

    First time I've ventured into this part of the forum in a while @Kite159 but enjoyed catching up on your travels earlier. Since commencing my own railtour adventures, I do find those moments when you find out who you are stuck with for the day (or multiple days) the most nervy of the entire tour...

    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    Jesus H Christ, it was a genuine question that really didn't need the level of sarcasm that was thrown back at me. The answer was simply "yes, that does include 005" but that's far too easy for people in this hobby :lol:

    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    Thanks for the sarcasm, it was definitely warranted :rolleyes: I think you will find that in most cases people will say "up to and including" when offering such detail where numerals are concerned. Thanks for the info though, and good luck trying to find those social and communication skills -...

    GwR HSTs to be stood down

    Thanks both - just planning my block holidays at work and just wanted to make sure I (as things stand now) have the remainder of the year to get down there a couple of times at least :)

    20901 & 20905

    I believe this is quite likely, possibly even rail tours ;)
