Wcml Preston To Crewe Discussion

Can always do a full Edinburgh to Kings Cross with Class 55 on TSC!

 

A signal always at danger at Peterborough, a bridge "floating in the air" not far from Nortallerton, the track without cant between York and Newcastle, etc, etc.
It's obsolete by now, I would like to keep up with the times

 

Icons and Lampoil dont produce a marketable viable product (Maybe)

 

Then wait until TSW25 bring it to you . TSC allows you to fix broken stuff - lol

 

Just stirring up an Eastern Region v London Midland Region dispute and reminding all of which one has a history of record-breaking traction (that actually works).

 

That'll be the GWR then!!

 

I am curious about timetable intensity. How many tph etc.

 

Ha, I didn't even think factor GWR in. They of course got through a record number of traction types on their fast services; Warships, Westerns, Blue Pullmans, 50s and HSTs in 15 years. Though the 50's barely had time to get settled into their post WCML jobs.

 

There's only 1 region that managed to get a double decker train into service.

 

I don't suffer from claustrophobia but having seen how the 4-DDs were configured, jeez

 

Is that the Southern’s number 1 claim? Ultimately, it was a failed experiment.

I believe in the ‘Big 4’ years 1923-1948 the Southern Railway was the world’s largest electrified railway system.

Even as a London Midland man, I have to admit that the intensity of the network and frequency of service south of the Thames was - and is - remarkable. One of the wonders of the railway world.

 

Anyone who worked on writing timetables or who worked at a signalbox on the Southern gets my respect. It's like a huge jigsaw puzzle.

However, as someone who has spent the last five years tracking and recording rolling stock allocations, I have no kind words for whoever it was on Southern who decided on a new EMU renumbering scheme every flipping year. If I had enough hair, I'd have spent the last few years pulling it out.
