    Somewhere on the south side of the Circle line, the section shared with the main east-west District line.

    South Kensington maybe? Or Gloucester Rd? [​IMG]

    Not a clue, Darren. I keep clear of London whenever possible! To me, they are just Underground trains :rolleyes:

    The first one is the Docklands light railway, which now has quite an extensive network of lines in East London, including a link into the City and a tunnel under the thames! All their trains run driverless in normal use as well, which means you can sit at the front & get an excellent view of the line! Well worth exploring if you are a railfan in London. [​IMG]

    Thanks for the extra piece of information so I can document the photo as Docklands Light Railway in my RailImages photo alumn as well as the home moive when I get it built.

    Any one have any idea what the Switzerland
    train is in the other photograph (#4) currently labeled "Near Basel Switzerland"?

    Cannot quite make out the Swiss train. Are there any overhead wires? Can't see any. I am not aware of any diesel railcars in Switzerland. The logo on the side is SBB CFF FFS so belongs to Swiss federal railways.

    I will try to go back to the video and see if I can get anything more clearer but this was just a quick clip out of a bus doing ~120KPH and just saw it before it vanished from site.

    Here are two more video frames of the train "Near Basel Switzerland" and I see no wires in the 2.08 seconds of the clip I got of it. These are as clear of shots I can get from the video considering the speed of the train and bus before it vanished from my site.

    Here is a 3MB MPEG view of it too which I have seriously put into Slow Motion where the images came from.
