Haha good point actually :lol:. Of course, I wish GU the best of luck in this new venture too

Anyone want to take bets on who the first travel vlogger will be to sample the new services once they're up and running?. :lol: My guess is Scott from Trains, Planes, Everything

CrossCountry's 1L34 09:22 Birmingham New Street - Stansted Airport and 1N57 13:27 Stansted Airport - Birmingham New Street still as a Q path. Don't think this has ran since early 2020 :s

Looking at the various comments on social media and the online news outlets, it would be very difficult to enforce, not to mention I believe there's something in the ECHR about conscription exemption. One thing for certain is that the media is an absolute disgrace with their scaremongering

You know you're getting old when.... You have to turn the car radio down to see better :lol:

Using the phone, it was accessible from the platform without going onto the line.

A fellow enthusiast got moaned at for doing that at Water Orton about 10 years ago. We saw a couple of trespassers in the fork where the line splits and he used one of the phones on the signal (which controls trains towards Nuneaton), and he got moaned at for it - funny thing was, this...

I've always had a soft spot for the Fishguard - Rosslare route (and v.v). Not done it since the M.S. Stena Europe was replaced earlier this year.

I was in our local Morrisons, and this particular aisle myself and my partner was in had to be used to queue for the checkouts too, anyway we were looking for a particular item (pet food) and a middle-aged couple refused to come past us because there wasn't "two metres" thus he decided to hold...

Or maybe somewhere from the Midlands to maybe Minehead on the WSR? - have a day by the sea too. Went there a fair few years back behind a pair of Class 31's in the days of Intercity Merrymaker (2006 iirc) - although the train originated in Barking on that occasion 8-).

Bit like the Pirola variant a few months back when some elements of the media went as far as saying we could (that magic word :lol:) be in for another lockdown this winter. Good luck with that IF it did happen

The worse thing apart from the mental health aspects of lockdown and restrictions was that overnight it turned many people into pontificating little Hitlers (or Karen's as they've become known). Even in the last week on social media, I seen a photo get posted on one of the groups and within 10...

Nearest route to me that I can think of is route 41 in Nuneaton (Nuneaton - Atherstone) reverses mid route at a place called Birchley Heath in both directions. Then of course there's Haymarket Bus Station in Leicester where all buses have to reverse out of the stands to get going.

I watched the Preston - Tunstead video, yet again another amazing view Don :D.

56081 leads brand new 805005 past Narborough working 5Q91 Merchant Park Sidings - Oxley Depot. Meanwhile, 37608 heads t'other way with de-branded and de-named GWR HST power cars 43192 and 43010 along with 6 de-branded GWR MKIII coaches working 5L46 Laira T&RSMD - Ely Papworth Sidings.
