I don't usually post on here, but thought I would break the habit. FCC used to help out with revenue blocks at Ealing and various other locations on the Thames Valley FGW network, the contract might still be in place as both FGW and TL use the same PF company as such. Just a thought as it...

Since I work at Paddington, I am probably the best to answer this... the afternoon restrictions are as follows. If I do not mention a ticket type, it is not valid at all. 1600 anytime. off peaks/off peak days beyond swindon only 1606 anytime. off peaks/off peak days beyond Taunton only 1615...

Not sure 503 is mechanicly sound, as I am sure it donated parts for 521's mini revamp, but 521's body is awful, like swiss cheese when it was at Swanage. :o

I can provide a partial answer to this, having been an ATE for a short time (while doing my apprenticeship). While I was doing it, we were mainly just helping out the RPI's really. Generally, we would just do the checking, and if someone did not have a ticket, then an RPI would continue the...

There used to be a dual section on the NLL before it was all standardised I believe. Wasn't it between Dalson Kingsland and Hackney Wick, where everything would use OHLE, but 3rd rail was reatined as a fail safe, good idea in theory tbh.

Devonport to Dockyard- 37 chains, which I believe is the cheapest fare in Britain, 80p for a CDS. I presume Rotherhithe to Canada Water on the ELL does not count, as it is technically TFL track, as that is only 17 chains as well.

it is, but it is 37612 and 37218 on it.

Was wondering how long it would be before that subject was brought up :lol::lol:I would strongly recommend the Lydney Cafe Delight in Lydney Town Centre (come out of the station, turn right down the high street, past Lloyds chemist, and Ruddys chip shop, and walk down the ally way next to...

I would gladly take an Olympian over an ALX400, I remember when route 73 had B10Ms on it, those were the days. The Olympians did vanish from Lydney for a while, but as you said, are creeping back now. :D

On the latest release of NWM on trainsimstuff they were removed, the previous version had them, I think they will be reinstated in the full version in the future.

I am going to the Swanage Gala for the whole weekend, so I might bump into someone there.

Recently I managed to dig some old photos out, from the Steam on the Met event in 2000, which had a fair few locos attending, including B12 61572, Ivatt Class 2 41312, GWR Pannier 9466, and class 20 20227. All these photos were taken with a Kodak point and shoot analogue camera, and were scanned...

Unfortunatly, the 56 was only on it as a trial run, so will probably not be on it again in the forseable future, the GBRF run from Hansworth can run any weekday, but only if needed, from what I know, it pases Newport at about 19:45, there is another run which runs only on a monday, again, if...
