    Paddington-Langley tomorrow night

    I'm in London tomorrow and staying with a friend in Langley (Berks). The National Rail portal indicates that some trains are replaced with RRS to Ealing Broadway. Is it quicker / cheaper to go to Ealing Broadway by tube (given I will have Oyster of some sort - will get on the day). Also is...

I was on the 2300 ex Edinburgh...and this is where the story starts...FSR played a blinder tonight...

    Fsr Bbq

    Some FSR drivers seem to have decided not to work Sunday's at the moment - last week a few services were canceled, and this week a late (Saturday afternoon) announcement was issued about cancellations on the Glasgow-Cumbernauld (until 4pm), Glasgow Central-Edinburgh routes (this was important...

    Daylight Saving Time etc

    I know that few services run on Saturday nights at this time (mostly freight and the London area 24hr services I imagine) but just wondered how timetables, and things like WTT deal with the additional hour tonight (and the loss in March) - are the times entered manually, or does a computer...

    Which IPod / mp3?

    Adelante shuffle.

    When FGW get rid of the Adelante's, what would be the chances of them ending up on Hull Trains and TPE as a joint fleet, with a further cascade of Sprinters from TPE. The Pioneers go to EMT, who then cascade the same number of HST to FGW..... and so the merry-go-round goes on.

    Themes

    If you select the GNER HST skin/theme for 1024x76...the GNEr logo appears reversed. I assume this is due to the photo used and that you want all the trains traveling from screen right to screen left?
