My wife and I live in High Wycombe (HWY) and had tickets for a motorcycle show in London yesterday and had already got my ticket, my wife has a season ticket. I saw the Chiltern posts about not travelling so we travelled up extra early, on the 06:10 from HWY which comes from Aylesbury, a very...

This is a copy of a photo shared by a local newspaper, what are peoples thoughts, personally I think it's wrong. Taken on a foot crossing on the line from Bourne End to Marlow https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=bucks%20free%20press

Having been sat at High Wycombe for some time, stopped just north of the station, 6M78 has just pulled away. I could see it from my house.

I would imagine that most of it was because of the WCML, but I spoke to some people that had come over to High Wycombe from Slough, Maidenhead and Reading to travel to Birmingham and further north on XC services from Banbury avoiding the problems between Didcot and Oxford. I've seen some...

My wife and I travelled from High Wycombe to Aylesbury yesterday and saw the 10:10 Marylebone-Birmingham which was an absolutely rammed 5 car, 2+3, with some people unable to get on.

My wife and I travelled from High Wycombe to Marylebone, we had intended to travel on the 07:51. The station was reasonably busy with people wanting to travel north and a good few waiting for information about services to West Ruislip. The station staff were getting very little info, but were...

I work for a manufacturing company, and a large part of our work came from the EU, sadly since Brexit we've seen our orders from the EU drop by 40%, the work is there but companies just wont order from the UK now. Talking with suppliers it is the same story across the board, we get regular...

There may be a 3rd option. Chiltern to Marylebone, Bakerloo to Paddington then Crossrail to Custom House.

I have a first edition, a very useful edition to the collection.

Well done, I enjoyed that. I visited the LPR in the seventies, although after no.9 had left, it was good to see the story of how 'The Lochty' came about.

I bought a cab door from 55007 Pinza from there, along with a con rod from a deltic engine.

Marylebone also had a wide cab road, it was where the current platforms 2 and 3 are.

The Chiltern 165's have varied from being like a freezer to being in a furnace.

I seem to remember someone from Chiltern saying that they couldn't order more 172's as the engines didn't meet new emissions regulations. I use Chiltern a lot, and my wife commutes to Marylebone, and they certainly do need more stock, 3 or 4 car 168's on Birmingham trains aren't enough, so...

The front coach from Brussels is fine for beating the queue at St Pancras as most people use the travellator to go down, walk past the front of the train and there are escalators, I always use these and have always found them quicker.

I was actually talking to someone who ownes one of the 'Ale Trail' pubs and they said the biggest problem they had was from the lager drinkers. I believe there was something last year about some of the pubs only allowing regulars in at certain times.

Chiltern are looking for more locos, most people assume they will go with new Eurolights, and the refurbished MKIII's are reckoned to be good for another 30years and there could be more loco hauled sets to come. I wouldn't want Voyagers on Chiltern services, awful things, I would rather travel...

From London the Chiltern route to Stratford is a decent bit shorter, about 17 miles I believe, so could GW compete on time. I know there has been talk of GW reopening the route from, I believe, the Oxford - Worcester line to Stratford. With Chiltern looking for more loco's to free up 168's for...

I would certainly like to see Chiltern get some of either the 165/1's or 166's to help with the overcrowding on Chiltern. Refurbished with maybe 2+2 seating they could be useful for the Stratford-upon-Avon services where the 90mph speed would be better than the 75mph 165/0's.

Yes 't Poatersgat is worth a visit, it is directly across the road from Comptoir des Arts in Vlammingstraat, although it has become one of the bars of choice for local students so can get quite noisy especially at weekends, Another newish place worth visiting during the day for a quiet drink is...
