Pony rides to and from oxford and bicester!

I think Freightliner do the bin train from Ruislip to Calvert, see it everyday at Risborough. IIRC, its usually a 66 that hauls it

Princes Risborough northbound platform looks pretty temporary! Its a metal extension onto what was one of the through lines, hopefully it'll be knocked down and the original formation re adopted

but imagine I wanted a line just for my own trains rather than sharing with a heritage organisation, say for running today's dmu's in the future when they get withdrawn

Are there any un-built on, at least 10 mile stretches of track, which have not been used as a heritage railway or a test track that would be capable of building a 70mph railway as something like a rich mans train set, and if so, where is it so I can start saving up and getting planning...

Cheers for confirming that eagle, however, I'm still reluctant to believe it was an eight car train, I must check the set diagrams for this service

I've only ever seen Chiltern do a 7, although some platforms can take 8 cars I've never seen it done, are you sure it was 8 cars?

Is there a case for a West Hampstead interchange, I.e Chiltern mainline, wcml, tube

Personally, I'm looking forward to the sequel to this story entitled ' drunk passenger stuck in cat flap ' Edit: Callum beat me to it

All these silly little squables, they should just build a bridge and get over it! ;)

thank you for your reply, that's answered my question nice and clearly

Does anyone know if its a DRS driver or a Chiltern driver?

Does anyone have any news on what is causing all the disruption on the Chiltern Mainline today, took a good while longer for me to get home today. Thanks in advance

I think some mainline services have first stop at Warrick pway, not 100% on that though

Its what is says on the tin really, are there any trains in your area that you think have odd calling patterns, perhaps passing larger 'more main' stations and stopping at smaller stations and shaks? Just interested to know of examples on other lines that i might not venture onto so frequently...

Nice to know I'm not the only one with an 'aquired' sense of humor too!

If the cab is empty no wonder you haven't seen a guard in one! However if they're hiding in the rear cab, than that can't be empty either. :wink: I hope you found this usefull in answering your question :lol: P.S. sorry couldn't resist

Its all very good knowing that, but acting on that is another thing. It still may not be cost effective to put ticket inspectors on those trains. AS a seperate point, I think it should be remembered that a lot of fare evasion happens against the general flow of people, that is to say, fare...

god just googled that and it looks like a signalman's nightmare, bet that was fun to manage back in the day

And i see that number growing in the future, especially with slow freights being pathed down the route.
