Well it wouldn't make sense having a company called Great North Eastern Railway running trains to the west anyway. :wink: On a serious note that’s rather sad, maybe GNER didn't put the effort in after the won the ECML, maybe the GWML was a standby so at least they could still have their finger in ...

Yes credit it due for the master of April fools Mark W, now that was very very impressive, and yes mine did take 3minutes of masterminding.

Mark W - Champion of April 2005.

Don't know the link at the bottom seemed to hold a lot of the answers though.

In a statement read out by Transport Secretary Alistair Darling yesterday plays were put forward to re-nationalise Britain’s dilapidated rail network. During his surprise speech he said "Enough public money has been poured into and wasted on today’s railways, what we need is a nationalised rail...

There is only one or two services a day, and most of them are HST sets coming off or returning to Nevile Hill depot.

One day there will be a law passed where all bridges will be reinforced steel, i can see it now. At the cost of an arm and a leg each in today’s railway terms. Of course the steel will be imported from China and will rust through a few years later and fall off, probably hitting some poor person u...

Class 170's on the Derby -> Matlock line, (31 minute journey) and always on time or early thanks to the 100mph running rather than 75. Now this one everyone should of got: Class 90's and MK3's on the North Berwick line?! I'd call that luxury for such a journey. The Settle and Carslie line during The...

They have been planning to replace the Eurostars with HSTs for quite a while, personally I think it’s a major down-grade in quality of train. Don't get me wrong I love the MK3 carriage but the smoothness, quietness and general quality of a Eurostar set succeeds even the best MK3 carriage. Also I t...

Amazing pictures, makes me want to go and drive the Austrian Pro Train add-on that covers that route.
And makes me wants to book a holiday to Austria too.

Sounds like a train planner’s nightmare, in miniature form. Well 18miles worth of track form. I hope the passengers got compensation off the fat controller. Or if not, free tea!

Hearing an HST roar past you at 125- Priceless Somethings money can't buy foreverything else there's mastercard Now thats a fair point! :D And it is rather priceless, unless you buy your own, train a driver and buy loop of track. Surely there must be some bridges that get 'bashed' more than oftern,...

I really carn't see a problem with doing what he's done, the pictures are released on their website for general use, if anything he's done the company a favour, its not like the secret.

Lucazone or Bassild, (or anyone else for that matter) do you know if the Eurostarts will retain their 3rd rail gear? Because surely it won't be needed when CTRL 2 is completed.

But does education really work? I'm sure these 15year olds are quite aware that the train won't stop, and I'm sure they were aware that it isn't going to dodge out of the way. They just wanted to see how long they could stand there, I don't think any amount of education will stop this, and how do th...

With the recent MML collision inmind, who will end up paying the costs which such a accident creates such as passenger compensation, extra staff on-site and ofcourse the repairs and checks that have to be carried out before the set can be used again. Such a claim on some insurance companies makes th...
