Originally Peak was before 9am on weekdays - but it varies by area. Some it's 8:45, others 9:30 There are peak restrictions leaving London in the...
Yes, UK power prices are very high - around 60c per KWh at the moment for domestic with a government price cap, commercial use went a lot higher...
So basically a clone of a Densha De Go Cabinet?
Video Sims are a thing in Japan, they've rarely done well in the west though
TBF the console has had a 10 year run, which is pretty good (I think only the Wii beats it so far with 14 years of game releases)
There is a Star Wars wrap [IMG]
It's the Kansai airport express in Osaka
The E5 looks amazing from the side, just not so much end on :) The Shinkansen noses are for noise reduction, there are quite strict limits on the...
Pretty sure the 376 front was designed to prevent train surfing which was (and might still be) a problem on the South Eastern metro routes. It was...
Short forms elsewhere - government are looking for things to trim as much as possible so fleets are being stretched. Also they were awful things,...
I try and aim for 15 min cities, with smaller centres usually around a station
So 4 years late then?
HSTs are over-rated DEMUs ;)
The Cassiopeia? Didn't that run just one train per day? That said you could also use it on parts of the Sendai-Morioka line. The Sleeper was...
Isn't Logan Paul the guy who got kicked out of Japan?
I more meant the electrical gubbins, for example the 387s have HD bodyside cameras, different software etc - 377 compatability wasn't in the spec...
Everything stops at Haymarket - it's the only why the timetable will work through that very busy section
Are these such a big thing, I mean they are basically 387s with 377 gubbins inside (387s are halfway to an Aventra, while the 377 version needed...
[MEDIA] 5 mins plus?
The content of each announcement here is mandated by government. Under Accessibility rules Must announce Current Station, Destination and Next...
I was willing to work it, but work have decided to close for the day (it was 50/50 as to if we'd be open) - I had to work the Queen's funeral and...
Panic - DfT wants fleets pruned as much as possible - GWRs HSTs finish soon and XC's HSTs are going soon
Given most engines are now interference engines, having random people trying to adjust valves will probably end up with destroyed engines. Pretty...
The Cookie prompts are a legal requirement in the EU + UK - it would need a change in the Data Protection regulations for them to be removed. If...
I understand SWR are reluctant to accept them. Bombardier pretty much ditched quality control in their later days so the units have a lot of...
Hopefully the E6 will come at some point So today I learnt that the Saikyo Line north of Ikebukero uses moving block signalling, so would need...
I had a think on this one, and I think the E231 would probably need a complete rebuild if it's going to feature more. Currently it's an E233 with...
TSC doesn't check the track gauge matches the train, it just centres the train above the track with wheels at rail height and runs physics based...
Video sims are/were popular in Japan. It's not something that has ever taken off in the west - but occasionally someone will try
From the maps on the stream (I've not picked it up yet as I've spent too much on AirBnB this month including one in Okachimachi), it looks like...
It's probably not going anywhere as the company converting them no longer exists. GWR have purchased own the battery/charge tech for the new...
When is it set? Because the 158s didn't gain the door sounders until fairly recently
Fare revenue goes to the Government, who pays the TOC a fixed fee for operations. Passenger loads from a recent trip were quite high at parts, I...
Friday
It's a very dense route, never dropping below 6 tracks wide and often with many more. The reason the tracks split between Nippori and Oji is that...
I'd agree, and the UK has a tendency to try and enforce last minute design changes to save money, which end up not doing so. For example HS2 at...
Something I'd probably also add is even if this is short, it's probably a good building block for the future. Having both metro and outer suburban...
Most Likely Workshop content being updated
I think given the density, I can fully understand the shorter length. The Outer Suburbans would be a bit meh with just 3 stops, but the...
Unfortunately you wouldn't find those types on the Northern Tohoku - Northern Japan is mostly 20kV AC - the EF64 and 66 are DC only
There are a few freights per day north of Nippori, I think they originate at the terminal at Minami Senju (The Terminal isn't on the route, but is...
15 Car on the Utsunomiya!
This counts as a cancelation for the stats/fines, but it's done because it recovers the service quicker, meaning the following service is less...
A30 east of Exeter as well, it's hard to even have a conversation in the car it's so loud, hit one of the asphalt patches and it's quiet again
It's also Automated - Press start and that's it
Not on the Victoria - it's fully Automated, Manual driving in emergencies only at slow speed
I suspect anything over 200km/h sustained* would probably flag for a download regardless of enthusiasts. 225km/h would probably be ringing alarm...
Generally Profits are reinvested into the business. Their accounts are public and listed on Companies House, so you can get a rough idea by...
NOT THE BASE TUNNEL - I mean you wanted Scenic and the Tunnel bypasses all of that. Pilatus trains just have 2 speed settings, limited by the cog...
Having commuted on the things, that's a good term, possibly with a brick in the drum...
Separate names with a comma.
