I'm guessing they prefer the Hitachi IGBTs fitted to the /0 and /1 over the Alstom GTOs that the /2 and /9 have. Unless they want the Brush GTOs...
ATO isn't going to be much fun Open Doors, Close Doors, Press Start - repeat - The Central does have some manual running evenings and weekends on...
I'd not worry - this sort of thing is fascinating to railway historians. Many of the railway's early backers had made their fortunes through...
That was more the Sprinters that saved rural lines - the Pacers turned out to cost almost the same as a 150 but were nowhere near as reliable and...
Given the original was 20 years old this week [MEDIA]
Probably not great option wise - 4 times a day with 3 stops in 400 miles - it doesn't have good gameplay potential
I suspect trying to take the number of reference photos needed to model the stations would attract the attention of Airport Security and probably...
It would probably be nice to be remade in a few years time, once all the construction and Lizard line upgrades are completed but I don't get the...
It's a bigger job as the HST Power Cars and Coaches would have to be backdated to their BR Interiors and engines
Not sure if they make it as far as west Cornwall, there's a few 16x based at Exeter but not sure what their range is beyond the Devon Metro
Line Speed drops from 90 to 50 for the trains coming from London - so the 159 would have been carrying some speed on approach. Also on the SW...
West Ealing and Acton Mainline have been rebuilt as part of the Crossrail works - both new buildings opened this year. Quite a few other stations...
Spiez to Brig [IMG]
Network Rail haven't come well from that. The truck was apparently delivering to an NR site by the railway and because of a lack of turning area...
This is the phenomenon called thread drift ;)
Yamanote?
Generally the S-Bahn and Regional Dostos are used as a common pool, it was similar around Leipzig before the city tunnel opened.
IIRC there is one Foot Crossing left with Whistle Boards in my home city - you'll often here a low toot as trains leave St Davids over the...
I suspect it's technically possible - though it needs ultra accurate stopping which I can see causing a lot of player frustration (some will like...
There is a station there - the line originally went to Charing Cross with plans to extend along Fleet Street. Plans changed and when the line was...
HS1 is built to French LGV Standards. HS2 is based on the EU/UIC High speed rail standards with some changes with regard to platform heights. -...
There is also a Diesel FLIRT in build at the moment for TfW - which strikes me as pointless given a FLIRT is an EMU with a generator car and all...
Where possible IRL I'd like to see platform edge gates fitted - I think they'd be a big boost for safety in general and suicide prevention Of...
No is the answer to that. They will mic up a train if a company agrees to let them, but some won't give access to the actual train hence sometimes...
I understand 150s are banned from the Durham Coast as the gap between the mid mounted doors and the platform at some stations is excessive. I...
Depends - they might have bought in PIS system and the announcements are done by the PIS people (or by Voice Actors contracted by them) while TfL...
It depends who has the rights to the audio - it might be the system provider rather than the TOC. In any case it's a fairly minor thing compared...
They normally stick within the M25 - as they are high capacity metro units. Also I believe they were the last new build train in the UK without...
Do you mean a Joystick?
I'm pretty sure the South West got a later batch - I don't remember them being common until 92-93 - Indeed around that time there were Cl47 + 3 or...
The Japanese units would fit the UK loading gauge in terms of height - however they are about 10cm wider than our trains, would that make a...
387s don't go to Bedwyn - those are 5 car 80x for terminators - or IIRC some of the Exeter - London stoppers call there.
Power is Voltage x Current - so to get the same power from a lower voltage you need higher currents - which is very undesirable and may overheat...
For comparison - the redesign of the Pepsi globe a few years back cost $2mill Advertising campaigns will usually have a budget in the millions so...
Noise abatement is a thing here, especially as new fleets often have new depots that may be near residential areas. The new Scarborough depot has...
Early Model 455s were never pretty, but southern managed to make them worse by removing the gangway and painting them in a way that highlights the...
I'm pretty sure that the opening of the 300km/h Nurnburg - Erfurt to Leipzig HSL has seen a lot more ICE 3s working into East Germany
I can't see the western end working as a route as it's mostly single track - during this time period it had a sparse service (every 2 hours)...
Yes - don't stay in an Air B&B near some sidings 7am: HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK
My understanding is the train was not booked to stop at Swindon being a Diverted West of England Service due to run Non Stop Taunton to Reading -...
Yeah, the price point is definitely going to be a problem and really there needs to be a price rise at some point because inflation is a thing....
I'm guessing the 10 mins is trying to game the Youtube Algorithm
I think we've hit a similar point to the flight sims a while ago - it was possible for small teams or individuals to make Basic aircraft, but now...
It's a 2 track passing loop, gets 1 train per hour each way IIRC.
Just as a slight clarification. JR East run all the Joban local services, with trains being handed over to Tokyo Metro (with crew change) at Ayase...
E233s run on the Chuo Rapid - so will run alongside the Chuo Sobu line between Mitaka and the stop west of Akihabara that I can't remember the...
Separate names with a comma.
