Re: Class 308
Thanks MisterC . One place that mentions 308991-993 as parcel units is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_308 (with usual caution regarding the source); as you can see it doesn't mention 308994/995 at all. Additionally, I found something about 308991-993 on http://www.railuk.info/ but ...

Class 308

Re: Mystery location
In another forum, someone investigated the credits and established that it was Wentworth and Holyland. This video has the railway scenes at the start ( http://www.yorkshirefilmarchive.com/film/dear-sergeant-or-story-rough-riding-motorcycling-course ) with loads of fascinating military motorcycle rid...

Re: Cardiff visit
On arrival at what used to be Bute Road, it seemed as if all it had ever been was a single track buffer terminus, but an amble around found the remains of a through platform to the east, presumably for traffic to Bute Docks, but did passenger traffic go any further? As far as can be ascertained, no...

West Midlands
I expect that most have already picked up, but in case you haven't the West Midlands franchise, currently run by Govia as London Midland, will transfer to Abellio/East Japan/Mitsui control from 10 December.

Re: great western electrification
Cardiff Swansea electrification scrapped..... MML Electrification Scrapped will not go to Nottingham Derby or Sheffield another CON by the bloody Tories... Whatever your political leanings, be fair.

Re: Halton Curve
The cost in excess of ?18m is not for a mile and a bit of track. The plan I have shows the line remaining single track. The bulk of the cost will be for crossovers at each end and signalling alterations (closing Halton 'box and transferring to Manchester ROC, major changes in Frodsham 'box as mechan...
