The new Ashley Down railway station in Bristol is now opened. And the farewell tour for the Class 323 that is to be cascaded from West Midlands Railway to Northern.
200 years is such a milestone. Plus with more new trains coming into service throughout this year and next year including EMR Class 810 Aurora, Avanti West Coast Class 807 Evero, London Northwestern Railway Class 730/2 and DLR’s new trains that have been delayed again until next year.
Another terrific rail roundup Gordon, Thank you, as always, for sharing my clip of the Wigan - York network rail train. Phil is definitely at Glasgow Central.
I have heard that Lumo could operate a new open access service to Rochdale from London Euston which could happen next year. And London Northwestern Railway to start introducing the Class 730/2s from next year as well Avanti West Coast Class 807.
Great update and I do agree with Blackpool Simon about the HSTs, they shall be missed as they are Icons of the Rail Network but the railways have to move on. Still some will be around on Test trains, Heritage Railways and Charter Trains.
Co2 is the best natural plant food and it doesn't drive the climate when it's at such dangerously low levels we see today. Climate change is driven by that big white ball of flame in the sky we call the sun. Que the leftoid climate change trolls...
CAF have a factory in Newport. Thats where the TfW 197's were built. The 397's have the same bogies as the 195/331's as the ride on those are god awful. The rumour I've heard is that EMR's Meridians could replace the HST's when they get replaced by the 810's.
Nice update as usual Gordon I thought you had gone on your jollies as you’ve not been in for a couple of weeks. Keep up the good work and can’t wait till the next update 👏👏👏👍
Interesting vid again. It was me that said hello to Blackpool Simon on the Edinburgh/Manchester airport train a couple of weeks ago. I was going to ask for his autograph but he looked busy so didn't want to interfere with him in his line of duty. Keep up the good work. 😊
The last time I went there for work (for some railway property work) the depot on the down side said "Eurostar Est Ici" on it. Oh not it wasn't!!! The depot were nice to deal with even making sure my car safe when parked up.
It's a very cool Class 99 locomotive that will hit the Britain's rails. Very futuristic, but please don't replace the entire fleet of Class 92's. We may need them to continue with their passenger and freight work.
