    Bus photography technical help (desti blinds!)

    Background: been photographing buses for pleasure for about 15 years, mainly with digital cameras but in past couple of years with iPhone since their cameras got better (albeit zoom not viable). Objective: decent photos for personal use (not for publication so don’t need to be amazing) Problem...

    LNER Azuma (Class 800/801)

    First Edinburgh service was ‘piped in’ to Kings Cross this morning (LNER piper visible extreme left of photo). Tartan livery looks good!

    Why did New Clee and Grimsby Docks remain open?

    Don’t know the answer but it’s a good question! Went to both stations last year, didn’t see anybody get on or off at either, and a walk round the area revealed very few push or pull factors. They being so close to one another and Grimsby Town I’m surprised they’ve survived.

    Validity of two area tickets on through train

    Thanks all. So just to confirm....! If I did get a Marsden-Greenfield season as well as the WY and GMPTE seasons, would I definitely have validity on Leeds-Hudd-Manc services that don’t stop at either of those stations? i.e. there is very little chance of being challenged by a TPE conductor if...

    Validity of two area tickets on through train

    Hi all I live in Leeds and am starting new job in Manchester. My preference for commuting would be to get a West Yorkshire Metrocard monthly and a Greater Manchester area monthly ticket, so that as well as commuting I can see a bit of the world on my downtime.

    Northern Pacer Withdrawals - Info?

    Illegal or not, this is a ludicrous situation and Ken’s suggestion is a logical resolution for the majority of people, disabled or otherwise. Damning indictment of the rail industry, and government, if short forms and mass disruption result from all this.

    Railway Pubs of Yorkshire

    Would depend how you'd define the area, but Leeds would certainly be right up there. Interestingly it has relatively few pubs west and south of the station, but obviously to the immediate north/east you have the heart of the city centre, and right by the station you have the charming circuit of...

    Railway Pubs of Yorkshire

    *file updated 14/03/19* As well as being a railway nut, my enthusiasm for pubs knows no bounds - I'm deep into my logistically-challenging mission to drink in every pub in Yorkshire (currently on 1,187 out of an estimated 4,500). I have vast spreadsheet records of the pubs of Yorkshire and...
