Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but Zürich still has plenty of Tram 2000s (Be 4/6) knocking about, a design dating from the 1970s. They're gradually being replaced - I believe some are being exported to Ukraine - but they're still around in numbers.

Great. Thanks for the replies.

Just double-checking really: as an England resident with a UK passport I can still buy an Ireland InterRail pass and use it freely in Northern Ireland. Correct? Thanks.

I don't think rail enthusiasm will ever die out, but it simply isn't as popular as it was in its heyday, broadly-speaking 1950s-1980s. That's a fact. Personally speaking (80s bashing generation if it helps understand my perspective ), the modern UK mainline scene is utterly vapid to me. I still...

Another one for the estuary and coast around Carbis Bay on the St Ives branch.

Hello. I gather 57604 worked 1C50 last night. Can anyone confirm if/when it is allocated 1A50 tonight please?

Amazon and Wetherspoons for the reasons outlined by others above. Amazon I will use as the absolute last resort if it's something I really want and I really can't get it elsewhere. Wetherspoons used to be last resort but the Brexit propaganda and treatment of his staff during lockdown were the...

It will be working the BLS railtour on Saturday with 33029: https://www.branchline.uk/fixture.php

Ignore.

Many thanks.
