    Gravesend Tilbury Ferry

    Thats’s correct at the Tilbury end, the car ramp leading from the bus stop down to where the boat moors up. Even early on Friday morning, it slightly every walking through the pier building at Gravesend, it’s a shame it has gone unloved really!

    Gravesend Tilbury Ferry

    I decided to take a roundabout trip to Abbey Wood where I’m working today, via Romford, Upminster, Tilbury and Gravesend taking in the ferry. All the connections worked well, when arriving at Tilbury Town you need to cross the footbridge and the bus stops just outside the South station entrance...

    Greater Anglia Bombardier Aventras (Class 720): Technical discussion and introduction

    Also to note, on Friday’s many of the GE AM Peak services are reduced to 5-cars within the WTT diagrams, 2N91 being an example which I’m on now ex-Clacton.

    Greater Anglia Bombardier Aventras (Class 720): Technical discussion and introduction

    On the GEML side it’s a similar story, some of the morning services (1N03 05:40 Clacton - Liverpool Street), being an example could do with being a 10-car. Ironically, this is followed closely behind from Colchester by 1F07 (06:11 Colchester Town - Liverpool Street, which is formed of 2 x 720’s...

    Class 321 storage/scrapping

    1F46 (17:52 Liverpool Street - Witham) and 1F58 (20:48 Liverpool Street - Braintree), are formed of 720513 tonight. Both of these services were 321’s last week, so looks like the transition is underway.

    Class 321 storage/scrapping

    Owing to the industrial action today, only 10 x 720’s and Stadlers are covering the GEML services today, so no 321’s or 322’s out unfortunately

    156415 to Greater Anglia (Temporary)

    When I took the unit yesterday whilst working the 16:07 Lowestoft to Ipswich service, the blue destination blinds were still present. Confusingly it also half read Peterborough/Nottingham!

    Beveridges, it's not all about the money for some. But if you don't like it then it's simple, you don't have to apply..

    19.19 Leeds - Ribblehead

    Interesting to note that on Saturdays, the 21:00 from Ribblehead only runs as far as Skipton. Train then forms 5H09 to Skipton Broughton C.S.

    Gangs of drinkers blighting York and trains from York

    Myself and a couple of mates usually go to work every 2 - 3 months and have a day out around the city, as well as visiting the NRM. We always aim to arrive about 10:30 and after grabbing breakfast, like most head for the Maltings as a starting point. After visiting several pubs during the day...

    Scarborough

    I'm off to Scarborough next week, arriving from Hull at 14:45 and departing on the 17:48 TPE service. Can anyone recommend any good real ale/food pubs please near to the station? I've been to the Wetherspoons here before, but would prefer somewhere with a bit more atmosphere! Many thanks.
