I avoid buses, trams and the few trains which carry adverts which cover the windows. I see this as a form of official graffitti.

I understand that the terminal at Llandudno Jct was primarily opened to handle slate chippings for Hope cement works. This had been delayed due to awainting planning permission at Hope for the terminal. It was mentioned some months ago that permission had been given and that construction of...

The Avanti Euston to Wrexham service runs regularly but very often ends up at Holyhead

Is 507001 likely to be out tomorrow?

An uptick for that

I would agree, they are very nice inside and very much better than some of the new stock foisted upon us. Even the seats are acceptable 8-)

Great outside paint job, just hoping the interior is the Eastleigh refurb though ;)

Class 332 Heathrow Express were the first, all scrapped now

After an encouraging start freight on the North Wales coast has somewhat tapered off with only two trains in the last month, both for slate chippings from Llandudno to Bescot/Walsall. Nothing at all out of Penmaenmawr. I understood that Hope cement works was going to be using slate chippings?

Crewe to Skegness was a service for many years, ofter with the rather nice Class 120 DMU's. An early example of BR tying services together to save units and provide more journey opportunities

The Conwy Valley line is shut until at least next Tuesday, I underrstand this is because of a badger set beneath the line!

We have lower tree cover than any country in Northern Europe. We need many, many more. It's not the tres fault it's not maintained or has been planted thoughtlessly 1686087419 Any line with longitudinal seating is to be avoided

So 54 mph, quite respectable for a stopping serrvice. If you don't like jointed track then never go north of Inverness ;)

I'm sure a lot of people in the Welsh valleys would want those days to return.

It used to be good for copping named B1's though :)
