One picture on flikr says an NX panel Opentraintimes has Crouch Hill to leytonstone High road and fringes shown on its maps. https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/goblin#T_STOTNHM

I'm sure others will be along soon to give a guiding hand, as I'm from down south. You've two possible routes to explore passenger trains and freight. I'll do freight first, here in the UK we have Freightliner, DB schenker, Gbrf and finally DRS as the majority freight players, I'm not sure...

Hi the company I work for took on a driver from Sydney Trains a while back, I'm sure he started again as a trainee driver. So it is possible. Is there a specific area in the UK you'd be near family wise, if so we could point you towards local train operating companies.

Not all GN drivers sign 700 Kings Lynn, Hitchin and half of Horsey do not sign them.

The off-peak fares you mention would not be valid on the 0703 departure.

Class 700's have an automatic hill start/holding brake. 377 /6 &/7 have the button like the 387's

We had drivers at our depot (used to be a high trainee depot) lived hours away. They would qualify do a few years and go back to the local TOC when jobs appeared. We even had a couple of newly qualified drivers leave for closer TOC's after a few months of qualification, the other TOC maybe...

That service was delayed at Balham most likely due to the special shunting away. Why they didn't send the special down the mainline via Redhill or straight ahead via Sutton is odd.

Just looked in the relevant publication Engineering works between Sutton and Wimbledon all weekend. Engineering works between Blackfriars and Herne hill all weekend.

Air Explore aircraft with Jet2 logos. Inside will be Jet2 seats and cabin crew, Flight crew will be Air Explore.

Quick point Thameslink does not have any restrictions on the number of loops on a drivers shift. St Albans and cricklewood have done four trips in a shift, and Luton and Bedford have done triple trips. The issue would be limited stabling facilities south of the river. Also if the line south of...

Could have taken a faulty/ dead unit to Lovers walk. It was seen as an 8 car going south and a 4 car coming back. A few /5's sit spare on selhurst when not on exams.

I'd have thought the only people to be able to give such permission is the TOC them selves. I'd have thought, you'd have to go through customer service (with the medical letter), for them to issue a company headed letter or pass giving permission.

But they are main line certified for the moves from Cauldwell depot to Bedford. In the last few years it's been a stepping stone to main line driving.

If that could be the case, I could see them going to Kent House/ Beckenham Junction to turn around at the south end. Just like Thameslink did upto 2017/8 iirc.

Only Thameslink drivers who sign via Lewes are Brighton drivers.

On the last point about traveling by car, If you use Google maps and have the location history turned on. It will show dates and times and mode of transport used. So could hopefully be used to disprove train travel.

Thank you both.

I believe a few power cars are ETCS fitted. Any ideas on identities and current locations of these, and are they operational currently.

I was wondering what service group they would use the 387's on that are self contained, as to not cause unit incompatibility & Crewing issues. East Croydon to Watford junction London Victoria to East grinstead A 387 made it to Portsmouth on a test run the other day, maybe Brighton to...
