    Best Driving route from London to Scotland?

    I'd suggest M1-M18 and catch the A1 near Doncaster. There has been a few works on the M1 recently, but along your route you'll only find them near Northampton. They only go on for a few junctions and if you travel at the right time they aren't too bad. The A1 out of London through Stevenage...

    Films you've seen/film discussion

    I went to see 'It' yesterday afternoon, great film. Story really well done (well it would be, it's Stephen King!), the effects were great, quite dark but also funny in places. Would rate it 8/10

    What is your longest awake

    38 hours is mine. Got up about 9am on a Friday and packed for holiday. At about half past midnight we set off down to Portsmouth to get a ferry (I can't sleep whilst traveling so whilst every other passenger slept I stayed awake with the driver). We didn't sleep on the ferry because we met up...

    I would like to talk to some friends.

    Leicester and Luton are good, but its all about Derby! There's always something happening, you've got the Mainline services from London to Sheffield, the Cross Country services, plus loads of freights, stuff for Etches, stuff from the RTC and if you're lucky there's usualy a few locos in the...

    New Measurment Train 7/2/17

    Hi all, Earlier today as I drove under the bridge at Langley Mill station I looked in my rear view mirror just in time to see the New Measurment Train run through. Of course because I was in the car I didn't catch any numbers. Can anyone help me please with what power cars and coaches formed...

    2016 - a year in review

    After having such a great year in 2015, 2016 has been a mixed bag for me. I've had some highs, and unfortunatly a lot of lows. Fell in love and had my heart broken, twice. Been under imense stress at work on multiple occasions. I've strengthened existing friendships and created new ones. I've...

    Carrie Fisher, Star Wars actress, dies aged 60

    I was shocked to hear of her death. As a massive fan of Star Wars I found it difficult to beleive. I know she was seriously ill in hospital following her heat attack but somehow I thought she would pull through and that Grim would not get his hands on her. Sadly I was wrong, and sadly 2016 has...

    BBC Trainspotting Live

    The idea of the programe was to make train spotting look more exciting and appealing to 'outsiders', when infact all it managed to do was make us look like bigger saddos than we actualy are. I thought it was pretty dire to be honest. I felt it was rushed and didn't provide any interesting...
