You were spot on. 0101 it is again with the 17 practically disappeared doubtless due to the rain. It is on the Birmingham - Stansted / Leicester route today and i wish I'd have whipped out my phone and taken a photo of it but it was too quick for me.

Probably done with a permanent pen. Not very professional all the same.

The missing 17 on one end of this unit is now back in place albeit with a marker pen!!!

I just don't understand the reasoning for a side that finishes 7th being given a play off place. 2nd v 6th and 3rd v 4th with the winners going to Wembley. Were Southend not in danger of being chucked out of the National League 12 months ago due to ownership issues? Good that these have been...

Yes.

So much for all the talk about ticket restrictions. Glad Oldham went up as it just wouldn't have looked good for a side to get promoted after finishing 7th.

Only one of those is on the Birmingham - Stansted route (16:50) and i was expecting it to be a lot worse than that after the announcement yesterday.

Should add that i mistakenly said both ends so if it is only at one of them then that explanation is probably spot on but the number has only been on for a few weeks so it wasn't done very well.

I've seen the first refurbished unit a few times recently and it is now carrying the number 0101 at both ends. Any reason why?

Sunderland are already favourites for the drop with many firms along with Burnley and Leeds. Makes you wonder if it's all worth it just for a year in the sun and the parachute payments.

Thousands of us fly to the USA every week from Heathrow etc and encounter no issues whatsoever once across the pond. There seems to mass hysteria running amok in this country at the moment, if however people have something to hide then clearance at DUB is probably a good thing but there again it...

Is there a deadline that is written in stone for the 222s to head north, i suppose what I'm asking is what is the worst case scenario for EMR? Surely not a return to the 170s going to St Pancras!

05:19 New Street - Stansted this morning cancelled due to shortage of train crew.

But they are operating a service from Nottingham to Bromsgrove which seems to be running okay.

But if it is only access, car park and pedestrianised square then the station will remain quite grotty.
