153308 in blue, red and orange East Midlands trains livery with EMR regional titles in bay platform 3 at Grimsby. A 156 in EMR interim purple, gray and white livery is at the front. It is dark and the station lights are lit and you can see drizzle in the air. Rain standing on the platform edge is reflecting the lights.

It’s 3 years since the final 153 worked for EMR. It had been due to finish its night on the Barton service but had failed at Great Coates due to lack of coolant so was attached to the rear of my Grimsby to Lincoln service then taken on empty to Nottingham.

Do you know when the depot tour may be? A weekend or might it be a weekday? Will the date be confirmed before boxing day?

There's a new NET Tram timetable today!

Core frequencies remain similar during the day, but some times have changed.

Trams are running every 7-8 minutes all through the evening until 00:00! That's double the frequency from before!

Midland Main Line Electrification Volume 757: debated on Thursday 21 November 2024 Neil O'Brien (Harborough, Oadby and Wigston) (Con) What recent estimate she has made of when electrification of the midland main line will be complete.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Lilian Greenwood) The electrification of the remainder of the route to Nottingham and Sheffield via Derbythe midland main line electrification programme-is in development, and currently it is planned to be completed by the early 2030s, subject to business case approvals and wider affordability considerations.

"Business case permitting."
Possibly the most stupid, craven set of words that ever get ushered in parliament in relation to infrastructure.

They were very difficult to find before! It also helps that many people didn't even know that shprt hop tickets existed. If you raise awareness of the cheap short hop tickets, you're more likely to get people paying for a short distance journey, rather than chance it.

New tram-like buses begin running from Crystal Palace to Orpington The vehicles use pantograph technology and have a structure attached to the bus roof to recharge them.

Tram-line. This is so tedious.

The pantographs are merely roof-mounted charger connections.

Why can't we celebrate a good bus because it has good safety features such as speed limiters, the shaped of the front and cameras for blind spots.

There's absolutely no reason to abuse transport staff, we're literally here to help you

Just had someone shout at me because we've "broken their contract" by not getting them to their stop - this isn't something that you should shout at Revenue Officers over
