eastwestdivide Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Bit of an odd display for my train yesterday, including a call at a non-existent station (South Kirkby Jn): Interestingly, the working timetable timings (Realtimetrains screenshot below) included a stop there, presumably to let a faster train pass on the Doncaster-Leeds axis, although I couldn't work out what it would have been. In the event, we stopped for a minute or so on the curve at S Kirkby Jn, then shot off to Fitzwilliam where we sat for over 5 mins waiting for time: Edited January 28, 2018 by eastwestdivide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Bit of an odd display for my train yesterday, including a call at a non-existent station (South Kirkby Jn): New station.jpg Interestingly, the working timetable timings (Realtimetrains screenshot below) included a stop there, presumably to let a faster train pass on the Doncaster-Leeds axis, although I couldn't work out what it would have been. In the event, we stopped for a minute or so on the curve at S Kirkby Jn, then shot off to Fitzwilliam where we sat for over 5 mins waiting for time: New station 2.jpg It'll be a timing or pathing stop, shown in the working timetable and driver's and possibly guards jobcards. We have one at Bestwood Junction on one of the evening Worksop services, to allow a service in the opposite direction to clear the single line to Kirkby in Ashfield. Shouldn't appear on the public timetable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 28, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28, 2018 There are a few chiltern ‘local’ stopping services from Moor st to Leamington spa that are booked to pull into the passenger loop at dorridge for anything up to 10-15 minutes to allow cross country trains to pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Want to model a busy freight-only branch in minimum space? All you need is a loco+brake van and several blokes.

freightliner_bond Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 And another also from 2003. This was the driver training run for the Class 37s on the Harrogate Line. It is not clear but the two GUVs were EWS liveried. Cheers Alan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just sorting some photos on the hard-drive and I found this grabbed pic. Ah! The 1S32 16:00 Kings Cross - Aberdeen 1 hour down due to an air-conditioning fault in the leading cab of the HST If I remember correctly. Probably the most photographed train in the UK on that day.

They came across on the Carlisle to Tees Yard "Hoyer" train one evening with some Tees Yard staff getting their own photos !!!

jonny777 Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 She probably copped it and underlined it in her ABC. You don't get many 302s at the palace, or on the way to Sandringham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Is it possible that coaches 3 to infinity are coming round the curve and out of shot? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardml2341 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Is it possible that coaches 3 to infinity are coming round the curve and out of shot? Chris Don't think so, I reckon you'd see the shadow. Also there doesn't seem to be a turnout there, so no merging route. The headcode lamp is for a stopping train, so likely it is a bona fide service. ps tried looking round the back of the screen, but couldn't see a tail lamp Edited February 5, 2018 by leopardml2341 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovenor Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Also there doesn't seem to be a turnout there, so no merging route. There is a diverging turnout on the other track, but it looks as though the converging one is a tandem under the loco. So I agree, no more coaches on the back.
