    Andy Burnham in pledge to renationalise railway network

    AMB = a stupid little boy. On several public occasions he has been heard to utter where his loyalties really lie - "...it is the party that matters..." - not the country and certainly not the railways - just his beloved Liebore party :rolleyes: !

    As open days go - this was better then nothing - beggars cannot be choosers ! The full range of DRS locomotives was on display and carriages also. There was little else though. Gripes ? - AYE !... No Programme, No Beer and No Transport laid on from Citadel Station ('Kerchingfinder' Tours...

    Manchester Piccadilly - Unfriendly and overstaffed?

    Piccadilly has never been the 'friendliest' of stations, but, it used to be even worse !... Back in the days of 'Good old BR' - one asked for help concerning a station stop (having been delayed by BR earlier) - an absolutely ugly old hag, based in a side office at the concourse end of platform...

    West Coast Railways Suspended (now reinstated)

    WCR - something about this outfit has always left us feeling queasy... Dirty Carriages - inside AND outside. Eyesore Premises - an absolute blot on the Carnforth landscape. Mulish Management - less than helpful - to put it politely. Time it was confined to the history books - along with the...

    BLS S&C Desiro Tour 19/4/2015

    This Route = the S&C presumably ? Either way - it be not only that route that was a 'long drag' - try a whole day mopping-up 'twigs' and 'stubs' onboard a DMU :cry: !

    Seeing as how Blighty be drowning in 'Coffin Dodgers' - oneself would have open more windows - if only to accelerate the 'passing process' :lol:
