Title: BR Database
Post by: Bob G on September 26, 2025, 11:34:42 AM

Does anyone else get this message when they try to check the shed allocation of a particular loco on this database?

https://brdatabase.info/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi

"Account Temporary On Hold"

Apart from the English being poor, is this wonderful resource no longer available to us?
Does anyone have any more information on what has happened?

Bob

Just tried it and got the same message, Bob.
I hope it gets resolved as the site is an enormously useful resource for me

If it was the result of an American DDoS attack then obviously someone over there got frustrated trying to line a steam loco in mixed traffic black livery. Or perhaps they disliked BR blue on diesels...?

Hmmm :whistle:
