@dresserman God I hated that stuff. Sure looked great for two seconds after it got put out, then looked like rubbish when it came out, normally with all the SELs, and promptly got removed. Waste of time.

'flavoured' and 'family sized' stripping wholly unnecessary.

@railLKB Ah hadn’t seen those before. The totems SWR use are hit and miss due to their mobile nature (apart from some which are now on a wall), this is much better for larger stations! Maybe someday they’ll be a universal standard for displays based on station size

So for what ever reason the Desiro’s don’t appear to have a CIS setting for Fareham-Waterloo via Basingstoke, which means an absolutely blessed journey in silence without having THIS IS BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE blasting out every stop

Pompey Harbour last year. 8 car empties came in, Driver released the doors. Train pretty much full and headed towards Fratton with football crowds waiting. 5 mins later had a call to say the driver didn’t stop to pick up his guard, and that the service was cancelled…

@CraigTheTrain @AnonSocials @rose_phil @railnigel If we bring in empties and I not the driver taking it out again, I don't release the doors. The next driver who'll be in charge of that service will do it during their mobilisation. It's best to leave it locked, passengers have a habit of getting on trains that are going nowhere.

🗓️Over the next 6 days we will be completing a whole host of renewal and strengthening work on the line from Portsmouth to Fareham and Havant whilst the line is closed, representing a £2 million investment into the area. 👀Take a look at the thread below to see what we’ll be up to...

Wow what a stunner

The first 222 for @LumoTravel (222001) is now in Lumo blue as part of its refurbishment by Alstom at Widnes. Five former EMR 222s, as 6-cars, will be used on Lumo’s new Euston-Stirling service, with the first trains running in May and the full service launching on 27 July. 📷Lumo

For the eagle eyed among you, you'll notice that this is not Southampton. Track circuit failure down there, so I've been diverted to Portsmouth & Southsea.
