Alexandra Palace (Multi-Era) Formations Guide

FORMATIONS GUIDE
Alexandra Palace (Multi-Era)

This diagram showcases some of the formations commonly seen passing or calling at Alexandra Palace from the heyday of the LNER in the 1930s until the current day. We've covered a selection of services, with a wide mixture of locomotives and rolling stock to provide realistic and fascinating services for your layout. The line passing through Alexandra Palace has a rich history of express passenger, suburban and freight trains on the busy East Coast Main Line.

We will be part of the London Festival of Railway Modelling, taking place at Alexandra Palace itself, between Sat 23rd & Sun 24th March 2019. Find out more about the event, HERE.

We recently launched a new Formations discussion group on Facebook, where you can give feedback on our guides and give suggestions for future formations. Get involved with the group, HERE.
