    313 Railtour?

    I managed to catch a short clip of it heading northwards through Wivelsfield earlier today. The driver was clearly enjoying playing with the horn! :lol:

    BLS The Metro Marauder - Sat 14 May 22

    I managed to get a couple of short videos of it as it went through my local area - nothing special and only captured on my phone but if you are interested, they can be viewed here:- (Downward journey through Wivelsfield Station) (Heading back towards London, over the level crossing at Keymer...

    Class 345 progress

    A friend of mine took these of the interior of 345007. Not sure about the colour scheme myself.

    A Private Train?

    Thanks for the reminder about that episode, I'd totally forgotten about it. I have many episodes of Hancock downloaded, fortunately including this one so I've just had another listen. Funny stuff! :lol:

    A Private Train?

    Funnily enough, myself and a few friends joked about this earlier this week as a way to get around the Southern Strikes - our idea was to get out own little one carriage DMU and run it from Hassocks, Burgess Hill & Wivelsfield direct to London Bridge, departing around 7am and then returning...

    No train services to the Lewes Bonfire this year.

    Most of the actual fire sites have been by advance tickets for years now. I think Commercial Square is the only open one left now (not sure about Waterloo). Certainly Cliffe have been ticket only for ages, as were Southover when I last went there. The problem is on the streets for the many...

    No train services to the Lewes Bonfire this year.

    I've attended Lewes Bonfire Celebrations many times over the years. I only live a few miles away and have many friends who live in the town, so I can usually stay over which removes the travel issue for me. This idea that the celebrations are intended for "The people of Lewes and surrounding...

    Information for GTR Southern passengers during strike (no DOO discussion)

    I was on the same train as you Infobleep (17:40 out of LBG?). I decided quite quickly that things weren't going anywhere so strolled over to the Snooty Fox for a couple of pints to let things calm down. Eventually I caught the 19:10 Brighton bound Thameslink service (departed at 19:29)...

    NRM Loco Identification

    Many thanks for the numbers @37038 and thanks for the tip about access via the Car Park @D6975! (Cracking photo btw!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Yorkshire so hopefully I'll be back a bit sooner next time - if I do get back soon I'll be sure to take a stroll around the Car Park. Cheers!

    NRM Loco Identification

    On holiday last week I visited the NRM in York - first visit for around 30 years! Anyway, there were a couple of diesel Loco's outside that I couldn't get close to, so I was wondering if anyone can identify them for me. I'm particularly interested to know which Deltic this is. Sorry about the...

    Famous people on trains

    Traveled out of Brighton on a packed 319 with Hi-de-hi actress Su Pollard. On the concourse at Brighton I also saw Australian Actor Ian Smith (probably best known as Harold Bishop from Neighbours - he was in panto in Brighton at the time). I also bumped into Neil Pearson of Drop The Dead...

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    RTT shows that it arrived in Brighton OK and is set to depart on time. I'm just about to stroll round to Wivelsfield to watch it hurtle through. RTT Link: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G73343/2016/06/20/advanced
