In total 300 carriages have been bought by VivaRail to convert D78 London Underground stock into DMU units, that'll replace pacers! The units will be converted to have toilets & Copyrighted to Omar, Allowed us to use image  disabled seating as standard and are likely to be sent North when complete/for tests. This stock operated/operates on the District Line, but stock is gradually being withdrawn & replaced. 44 of the 61 Class 315s currently with AbellioGreaterAnglia will transfer onto CrossRail routes until new stock is built whilst the remainder will be used on the Enfield/Cheshunt, Chingford & Romford - Upminster lines. Furthermore, all 6 of the Class 68s for Chiltern are expected to be built by March 2015 And finally I've heard rumours that a 144 Pacer Demonstrator will transfer from Northern to Derby in 3 months to be created, proving that Pacers can be converted! We'll have to wait and see!   *Harry

The £43 million Redevelopment of Peterborough Railway Station has been completed! The last piece of the puzzle was testing and installing a new signal system. East Coast routes to London and the North, FirstCapitalConnect services to London, East Midlands routes to Norwich and Liverpool via Manchester/Nottingham, as well as Greater Anglia services to Ipswich, all serve the station and will be affected over the coming days. Peterborough transports more than 4 million passengers each year. These works will meet demand of services by adding a further 2 platforms, have a freight lane to limit delays to passenger routes (positioned next to new platform 6), and lengthening all platforms.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, A Warm Welcome To My Blog! I'm Harry, the founder of this page. I'm very passionate about the Railway, but would not say I'm a spotter even though I'll use some railway terminology now and again! I've created this page in an effort to inform and entertain readers regarding a variety of Railway Related News including rare movements, changes to the industry, updates to infrastructure and generally interesting articles not just for Rail Geeks! This page is being run alone at present, so I'm afraid I might not be able to update it too much. However, I'm currently in search for a new team member, so hopefully by Autumn 2014 we'll be able to provide ample posts each week. I hope you enjoy browsing the page and let's see how successful it'll be. Thanks for taking time to read this, I am grateful of any support I may receive! Finally, please note I'll now be taking a short vacation away from the page. ...
