Odd. I’m looking right now and can’t see a 49. Even a page search doesn’t find 49.

Wrong how/where? It’s correct at €58 right there on the front page, and that’s what they charged me.

That makes a lot of sense. Also the pay rates in your ad aren’t a million miles from the rate in the OP (12 d to a shilling for a 5-6 day week)

You’d expect a skilled wall builder to be paid more than someone shovelling earth to build a bank (embankment?), so my first thought at the meanings doesn’t necessarily make sense. edit: but see the navvy’s glossary at https://victorianweb.org/history/work/sullivan/glossary.html#navvy where it...

I’ve just used it successfully, being careful to select one month only. No problem with payment, pass added to my phone. Checked in the “my account” details from the email after purchase and it showed the subscription as “gekündigt” = cancelled as you’d expect. The website was *mostly* in...

The one in our local park has a "mixed-traffic" loco, which hauls a trailer for the gardening team when the land train isn't running!

Or is it unreasonable to have a single timetabled service operated by two companies whose tickets are incompatible? Making the broadly hourly service less useful.

I thought the London prefix was added far earlier than privatisation - give or take 1980ish? Edit: the 1982 GB all line timetable from timetable world site shows the London prefix

Well it had certainly seen service on a number of routes, judging by the languages on various notices in the cabin: Polish and Swedish on one, Italian and Albanian on another, and Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese on another!

Thanks again folks

Thanks people.

Later in the year, the internal Swedish sleeper from Malmö to Stockholm might feature in our plans. Does anyone have any useful experience of it to share? Also, it's a very early arrival in Stockholm (before 0600). I can't seem to find out if you're allowed to lie in until a more reasonable...

That path has been in the system as a WTT for ages. Looks like it’s a VAR on that date only for engineering works.

Not in the UK, but I had this recently at Stuttgart, where there's a massive detour around the outside between the terminal platforms and the underground ones. 10 mins wasn't enough, as the DB Navigator shows in the attached screenshot "334 yards". I made it over half a mile using mapometer...

Add to the above, from Edinburgh via Falkirk and Coatbridge to Carlisle

Don't think that's possible without a reversal

And add in Birmingham-Exeter StD-Exeter C-Salisbury-Southampton-Reading-Eliz line.

A Zimtschnecke from the ICE restaurant car, warmed up while I waited. Yum.

That would make sense

There was a relatively small batch of HTV numbered B340xxx (outside the B4xxxxx series for most HTO/V). They turned up on aggregate workings from Westbury etc and I think they were rated 25T instead of 21T. I'd imagine that would warrant a different design code.
