    Operations of the Waterloo-Exeter 50s (and loco diagramming in general)

    Big Jumby 74, No worries it was worth a shot. D6130, no worries again it was worth a shot, I can remember having to go to 'work' with my dad during school holidays. I guess my favourite turn from that time was 07:20 Ore to Brighton, then one of the Brighton to Victoria fasts before taking an...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Lets put the blame where it belongs, and here it belongs in two places. First place of blame - The right honourable member for Uxbridge (Mr Johnson) for bringing in the restrictions Second place of blame - A certain resident of No 11 Downing Street.

    Southern England EMU’S

    Indeed the 13:38 and 15:18 were through services, I decided to split them in that manner to facilitate the attaching and detaching of the VEG unit being clear rather than possibly impling to other readers that the train was 8 car through out. :D

    Working timetable abbreviations

    Is / Was there a loop line at the location. Certainly in a lot of places (May just be a Southern Region thing) a capital V would indicate a loop line, although this should be shown with the list of line codes on the first page, for instance at London Bridge - UPV was used for Up Passenger Loop...

    I can't do this for much longer.

    So just to clarify you are saying that you feel at this point that a 'lockdown' where you can still leave the house is causing you to get to the point where you will undertake criminal activities such as arson, which will cause you to be locked in a room potentially 12 feet by 8 feet for...
