    Off Peak Edinburgh

    Thanks for the speedy reply, so, given I have an off peak 'not via' which cost £163.70 so the excess should be about a fiver but it might be hard work to get one sold?

    Is Aylesbury to Princes Risborough still diagrammed for a Class 121 'bubble car'?

    If you're interested in a decent length of bubble run then the GWR run them over the full 13 mile length of line on some timetables, see www.gwsr.com for details. Generally the bubble does the off peak turns with the 117 the more heavily loaded runs - the loco roster online should tell you...

    Split ticket advice from booking office

    Thanks folks - I was almost certain I was fine (and pretty much resorted to the nod and smile approach) noted above - I've split tickets many times, normally with no comment, sometimes with a 'wow, never knew you could make it that much cheaper' comment from the clerk so I was just taken aback...

    FGW New Ticket Barriers?

    Barriers at Newbury have been operational for a few weeks now - they seem to have come in with a nice new cream paint job and tidy up for the canopy etc replacing some very tired NSE blue.

    GWSR job opportunity

    Might be of interest to some readers: The GWSR have advertised for a new full time Operations Manager having covered this role with a contractor for a few months. For some reason the advert seems to be slow to appear on the public GWR website and the closing date is not that far off so posted...
