I can tell you it was the 16.10 Crewe to Newark Castle on Thursday 1st June 2023. I'm afraid I can't tell you if Peartree was a scheduled stop or not for that train; perhaps someone else can assist in that?

Purely by chance I happened to be on that train from Crewe to Derby. Portillo boarded with his team of three a couple of stops after leaving Crewe and did some filming on board. When we stopped at Peartree, he was filmed leaving the train. He then quickly got back on it again, and the train...

They're just colour light distants then? That makes much more sense. Thanks.

Two signals inside Totley tunnel is surprising to this observer from the south west. Not sure an extended signal stop within the tunnel would be much fun for anyone. Can't be easy to maintain either.

You know you're getting older when....... ........you're set in your ways. ;) Other stouts & porters are available. London Black is wonderful.

Indeed. Merseyrail & Transport for Wales are not on strike at all. Great Western Railway are not on strike on 5th April; although there is an overtime ban in place. So the journey is physically do-able via Chester & Hereford (although GWR's services are infrequent on this route). Just a matter...

Thanks for all your advice. I've now solved it with the help of the User's Guide menu. I'm glad I won't now be in danger of running out of camera memory on holiday!

Oops! Thanks, you're right of course. Changed original post to MB. Still a big increase in size that I don't want.....

I have a Sony DSC-HX200V camera that's quite a few years old now. Typically, the pictures taken using it have been about 800 KB - 1.1 MB. Recently, inadvertantly, I ended up in the settings menu, and getting back out of that I seem to have changed something. Pictures taken now are enormous: 4.5...

And parts of the Rame peninsular, west of the Tamar, were in Devon - Kingsand & Mount Edgcumbe, hence this sign on the wall in Cawsand/Kingsand beside the Halfway House Inn

I like what you did there. :D

You've beaten me to it. Perhaps Bobby should be the official job title. It could be short for Robert or Roberta so not gender specific either! :D

Or come back from London Marylebone instead?

The trains will certainly not be empty, but you should be alright at these times I'd of thought, it really boils down to how much personal space you want to make it acceptable. I suspect, reading between the lines, you may perhaps only feel comfortable with more space than I personally need? By...

Welcome to the forum! You won't find the trains "quiet"; these routes are well used all year round, but there's generally seats to be had, but see below: Exeter Central is the main destination for most people on these local routes. More people get on/off these trains there than at St. David's...

I've never heard that Devon County Council (or Cornwall's) have any involvement in public train fare levels. Surely a fare cap as mentioned by "Sealink" above would require a financial contribution by the Council? Or, are we just talking some sort of arrangement for students using season tickets...

Looking on On Time Trains, in the last seven days its been on time four times; 20 minutes late once; and cancelled twice. Quite a mixed bag performance wise. Hope you didn't get too cold:frown:

I've always thought spending £300 million on not building a tram system in Portsmouth; Liverpool; & Leeds was definately a mistake. (All three were cancelled by Darling after £300 million had already been spent).

Thanks everyone for your swift responses. As I suspected really, but worth asking! By splitting, I obviously save money, but also gain travel time flexibility by travelling with CDRs instaead of a SVR. Overall, this makes up for the small loss in route flexibility in my opinion.

I'm sure this will have been asked before, but a very quick search has failed to find anything relevant. I hold this combination of split tickets for a journey to Bath: CDR Dawlish to Taunton; CDR Taunton to Bristol Temple Meads; CDR Bristol Temple Meads to Bath Spa. The through fare (i.e...
