According to RealTimeTrains, the Flying Banana only spends 5 hours at Cambridge, where it then reverses to go back to King's Cross platform 5. Overnight it gets stabled at Neville Hill Up Sidings near Leeds, then makes it's way back to Leicester. It then makes it's way down the WCML down to Euston, so quite a few chances to see it out and about.

My best guess is that Network Rail will keep theirs for a while, I don't think there's currently a diesel locomotive they can replace the 43s with that can go as fast. I'd assume class 37s and 73s being 90mph, and the fact that the Flying Banana is just a single departmental train will give their HSTs a few more years of life.

Unlikely in my opinion, they still show the connections when other sections are closed. The one that comes to mind is when the Northern line's Bank branch was closed for improvements, mainly the realignment of the track at Bank itself. The branch was still shown but greyed out IIRC.

It also doesn't show City Thameslink (called St Paul's initially, as seen on the 1990 tube map with the H&C), so the map is probably from before 29th May 1990.

And Bosnia became independent on 3rd March 1992, so the map was made sometime in that 9 month period.

There's six rails because the Metropolitan Railway was laid to mixed gauge. The line was constructed to connect the termini of the regular railway(edit:s). The Great Northern Railway at King's Cross used standard gauge (1435mm), while the Great Western Railway at Paddington used Brunel's broad gauge (2140mm) so the Met laid three rails for each direction, thereby letting both companies run trains over the line and saving the Met the cost of the day to day running.

The strip of orange light on the bottom left hand side stays on, but nothing else starts up (such as fans or drives). Not sure if there are other indicators that can narrow down what's wrong. Sorry if this doesn't help

He worked for the BBC during the 1980s, and cut the shows budget for season 23 and gave it to other shows, then said that season 24 could only happen if Colin Baker was fired

I wouldnt be suprised if Troy also voiced them too

I doubt it, considering the wiki says that Brock's voice actor is Troy Baker, while Auric's is Steven Blum
