Exeter St Davids come to mind .

Last week we went riding on a Devon Rover £15.50p Exeter St Davids/Plymouth and versa on the soon ending Cross Country HST 125 , I hear the one Leeds/Plymouth is September the 18th. Dave .

The Branch Line Society have a listing https://www.branchline.uk/gen.php Great find Thank You.

Would be nice to know what happened to the HST Stock .

I wonder if CS leave one or two unbooked as back up? I certainly think so , just like certain hotels doted around the network they say they fully booked up but they are not just in case there problems/cancelations on the network ,

I have seen a 9 car DMU on a summer SO only Birmingham to Pwilheli via Shrewsbury 1977/78ish

Thanks for all your kind replies , cracking photo that is Bevan , I never knew the KWR was incline`sh where tender first is a issue, I must revisit the railway once again because, the last time i was there a beer festive on so i didnt pay too much attention . Regards Dave 1954 .

With the Steam gala coming up this Weekend 11th 13th March , Would someone kindly know which engines are facing where and is there a turntable on site ? . I have not been to the railway for a long time . Thank You Dave1954

Its happen to me in the pass not having time to buy ticket , I go out on platform meet the train and look to see where the guard is going to drop out to to wave the train off . Then i ask to sell me a fair , easy peasey 8-)

Couple of observations: Four passengers were reported as getting off 1M16 this morning at Euston, so the first answer to your question is "not many people at all are travelling" (which tallies with essential travellers only). The Sleeper has now been made free to NHS staff - so clearly being...

Sorry for being a pain in the butt ... but how come 1S25 the Sleeper is still operating , we supose to be all on lockdown apart from the emergency services that is . Just who are these people travelling this distance to the north and south every night. Im not a kill joy far from it or am I...
