    New Eltham to Oxford During Strike

    New Eltham to Oxford via Woolwich is on a permitted route and, obviously, starting short on an Anytime single is fine so you're good to go.

    Riding a TfW Mk 4 Set

    Good shout. Also consider http://www.railrover.org/pages/coast-and-peaks-rover.html at £96.80 for any 4 days within an 8 day period. It covers all of your travel plus quite a bit more if you are so inclined.

    Trivia: Rarest BR locos to survive into preservation

    0802 from Glasgow southbound, can't remember the other times. 1630 from Euston northbound, 1900 from Preston, arrive Motherwell 2056 and Glasgow Central 2112. Monday, Wednesday and Friday only and it was timetabled; caught it northbound from Preston many times.

    Riding a TfW Mk 4 Set

    I don't see how this covers the last leg from Shrewsbury to Chester as you would be using part of the outward ticket after the return which is not permitted; indeed it seems to mean two valid tickets would be held for Chester to Manchester. The forum's site suggests a multi split journey for...

    Signalling Problems between Watford Junction and London Euston 17th March 2024

    Agreed. At Leighton Buzzard watching all the fasts go by with no information apart from what's been gleaned from Traksy which seems to show that LNW have effectively given up southbound even though the problem is cleared. And this was already a divert to avoid the line closure between Luton and...
