I prefer the idea of De-privatising rather than re-nationalising.

And to the Marina. Maybe towards Shoreham using the coast road and up towards Steyning* too. * I know the A283 can be nightmarish at times, Coventry is getting trams, marketed as 'Very Light Rail' To me, Light Rail is Colonel Stephens. What's referred to as Light rail nowadays is just...

Let's face it the way things are going that'll be the most up to date sign on the network. Hopefully

I often went through Victoria, which us another  very busy station. Often youd get through the gatelines after a long hike past that cheese shop that smells of feet (Platforms 15-19 for Brighton) and often find the nextvtrain packed to the gunwhales. I usually let that go and grab a coffee and...

Yes I got so absorbed in making sure all the running numbers were different I forgot to look at the branding. I'm very much 70s. To me that was the most interesting part of the 'blue' era, I grew up through thd 80s and missed out on much of the cool stuff.

3 Accurascale mk2b coaches. They really are works of art. I accidentally ordered a B/G NSE branded one instead of interesting city but I have two options. I can either A) obtain some blanking patches and alter them using transfers or B) build a small 1980s layout

Don't forget Bernie at Waterloo. She was a very well spoken lady indeed

That might be it.

I've got 1hr 29 on national rail enquiries with a 56 minute wait at Nuneaton. Obviously via Coventry might change things too. That's on a Monday. I'll run a few on there and see what comes out. Half hourly would be better from Rugby to Nun but with one of those you'd still be relying on the...

Well certainly the M1, although I do maintain the A428 between the station site znd the M1 is horrible. The M45 can probably be scrubbed as that's a south facing junction to the south, unless someone wants to brave Coventry and wants to get away quickly ,(I always do lol)

Yeah. Means they'll only screw it up if its them. I don't have a very high opinion of them tbh.

Personally I'd support a reopening although there are obstructions and buildings (boo hiss) in the Ullesthorpe area and a couple of other places, plus the track alignmentis now also obstructed at Willey (snigger) as well as having to pass under the M6. Really a completely new alignment would be...

I really hate all these flashy 'Parkway' type names. It should be called 'Houlton' as Rugby Parkway is a misnomer. Plus its a mile from the motorway along a horrible road, the A428. I bet some suit dreamed that up at a meeting.

You'd have to get the 96 from Northampton (and possibly encounter Yours Truly at the helm) to Rugby, clocking in at around 90 minutes and then another bus (or possibly the same one as 96s turn into something else) either the 86, taking 55 minutes, the 25 or the 85/A/B run by National Distress...

I asked Simon Kohler about the 4 sub in Hornby's possession a year ago, while he was still at Hornby and he said never say never, although it's in a bit of a state. Have you seen the work of the late, great Colin Parks? He was a fantastic modeller and scratchbuilt a Sub just from plasticard, as...
