hi, probably treading on dangerous ground here as its been asked loads of times before. but is there any form of update on this upcoming route? am i right in thinking it includes the splitting of the tracks at rugby where one goes via birmingham new street and wolverhampton up to stafford and the ot...

Hi, if anyone is interested, I have a Virgin Value ticket for sale for travel tomorrow (19/7/05) from Birmingham New Street to Taunton on the 13.42 service. It's a 7-day advanced ticket bought with a Young Person's Railcard, valued at £13.85, but I'm happy to accept £10 for it. Please note: You mu...

is this part of the station ever used by any trains? the non-electrified line down to cheltenham splits off from the brum-redditch electrified line just before the station. the only services i can think of that use the n-e part are the hereford or cardiff central trains, but non of these seem to sto...

might sound like a stupid question but would running the HSTs at 25mph damage them in any way? i know it would be pointless as they were designed for 125mph! also, can these HST sets or indeed any unwanted locos/stock that are in storage and/or awaiting disposal be bought by members of the public? i...

cool thanks for you help guys all sorted now!

again, sorry if this has been asked before but I'm new to all this bve4 stuff! on the maybank route there are quite a few timetables there, but i think only those where bve4 compatible trains can be downloaded can be played at this time... is this right? i know for bve2 you could download a develope...

lol, ok will give that a go!

spose it makes it more realistic not having those driver aids, real drivers wouldnt get a message saying please brake for the next station at this point!

thanks

sorry if this has been mentioned before, but i've just been driving the class158 on the 0927 maybank to hammerwich service which just happens to be in the fog. Being the 1st time ive driven this route i had no idea where to stop and managed to shoot straight past the station i was supposed to stop a...

saw 2 sets stabled at Minehead today, could only see one set in full which was 2 power cars, 2 first class coaches, and 3 standard class coaches... the engines just happened to be running as we trundled by them.... yipeeee!! since when have these been up at Minehead? are they used often on the WSR? ...

does anyone know anything about what's usually a 4-car voyager unit heading southwest from BNS each weekday night? It passes Longbridge station at about 22:15. Just wondered if it's an ECS movement because the last train towards Bristol is 21:42 so I doubt it's that service that I see! Where does th...

btw I still think something isnt quite right with these sites, I'm trying to get a ticket from BNS to Tiverton Parkway this Friday and being the cheapskate that I am, always try and go for the Virgin Value fares, but there's been none available for a couple of weeks now and usually even the 3-day ad...

Hi, has anyone been onto the making tracks website recently and taken a look at the official gallery screenshots? There is one there (i think its shot no. 27/31), a picture of what appears to be a SWT depot, with a Class 159, the new desiro 444s and 450s, and a class 442 wessex. AMAZING pictures! Do...

hmmm not sure, I was looking around the posters at Wolverhampton and there wasnt any notice of it. Lol, was just wondering coz there was no announcement on the train about it and it meant I missed a connection onto Telford from Wolverhampton. Ah well, not to worry!

lol yeh, definitely easier to do a tour! There was no train infront of ours which is confusing, maybe there was over-running engineering works from saturday night that got completed during the day today?

I travelled on the 10.40 Central Trains service from BNS to Wolverhampton today, and for some reason we left BNS from the 'a' section of the platform, in the wrong direction (i.e. towards Coventry/Derby). Then we passed through Duddeston, Aston, Witton and Perry Barr before going left just after Per...
