I'd go with Cambuslang over Motherwell since (a) you have the via Shotts GLC-EDB traffic and (b) Motherwell station is horrible. An alternative would be Newton where you would additionally see the half-hourly GLC - NTN services but has the disadvantage that a number of services wang past on...

Have you forgotten that you are supposed to take numbers ? :) I'm not sure what trains look like these days. This is always a fascinating thing to do. About 10 years ago, I was consigned to spend a few Saturday mornings in Galashiels and set about trying to find and photograph the course of...

Interesting. In tracking down the working, it seems 708 and 719 went on 27/3 (https://flic.kr/p/2iJPkko) but there was a Northampton - Ilford working earlier in the day. I wonder if that was the units that went on the 24/3 being swapped for some reason.

Just repeating some information in 315 Withdrawals thread and from various bits of information gleaned from youtube and flickr, I have the following 317663 : 29/6/19 5Q97 1639 Ilford E.M.U.D. to Ely Papworth Sdgs Gbrf (hauled by 66703) 317669 : 22/6/19 5Q97 1632 Ilford E.M.U.D. to Ely Papworth...

317889 (and 317887) were pictured (not by me) being dragged to Ely Papworth by 66783 on 17/3 (https://flic.kr/p/2iFdi3S)

Already been done (rather brilliantly) by the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (KLF) ; It's Grim Up North

Daily Mail : Thought for the Day Our thought for the day is taken from the teachings of St Margaret of Finchley. "There are individual men and women .... " We are indeed fortunate that St Margaret documented her wisdom in order to guide us through these difficult times.

Oh well. She should have expressed herself a bit better then ... although isn't another part of that diatribe 'It is our duty to look after ourselves' . So why is the Daily Mail imploring us to look after our elderly when clearly it is their duty to look after themselves and our duty to look...

Reported in the papers summary on the BBC news website - I'm neither old enough nor hateful enough to even contemplate buying it. (I feel that implying I might buy the Daily Mail is sailing pretty close to the wind on forum guidelines regarding showing respect to other forum members but I won't...

As if coronavirus weren't enough to deal with, I now find myself having to suffer Daily Mail headlines of ... "Let's pull together for our elderly, Britain" Funny how there is such a thing as society after all, when it suits. Frankly choking on my cornflakes at such headlines and the rise in...

Whenever the Hawick extension and the sums involved are bandied around, I feel compelled to put the case for prioritising a case for public transport improvement to the south west of Edinburgh which suffers chronic congestion (a few of the top ten hotspots for traffic congestion in the UK) and...

What strikes me is that all containment / delay approaches rely on good citizenship, something that is even shorter supply than bogroll given the last few years. Two minutes driving a car tells you about the levels. They are doomed to failure.

I remember this issue a couple of years ago and looking at old posts on the scot-rail group, one Duchess of Sutherland railtour was substituted due to gauging issues at last minute whilst it had run the previous year ; in both instances the Carlisle - Edinburgh route. It was suggested that the...

A joy to read as always, ash. I feel tired just reading about that day in Cardiff - a football match thrown in too. I don't think I would have given two monkeys what was passing through Slough at midnight ; you're obviously built of sterner stuff.

Nice to see that you saw the ones I 'need' and they are not rusting in some siding in Southport. I guess the way things are, there are going to be delays in the 777 introduction and we still have plenty of time to finish off the 50x's. I don't find 'chasing' them onerous at all ; brilliant...

Tsk. Why did you photograph 2 green 37s , surely photographing 1 of them would have been good enough ? It's not as if they are split headcode boxed examples. [Is one of those 521 ? I photographed it in derelict state a few years ago at Barrow Hill and missed it completely in Colas livery.]

Even if all industrial activity stopped for the whole year, it would not be a dramatic effect on atmospheric CO2 levels since they are pretty much cumulative. People will see what they want to see and it will be far from a definitive effect, if any. This graph : https://www.co2levels.org/...

So, here is my personal situation with regard to covid-19. I am mid-50s. I have no doubt that my two young adult offspring will be fine if they get it given current medical evidence. I still have both of my elderly parents who are now in their 80s and, I suppose, are at high risk. They have...

I think 170420 is scheduled to head down to EMR in May so you could just wait for it (though I've been expecting it to go for a while now).

Doesn't seem to extend to Scotrail HST power cars, sadly. I've wasted too much time already chasing those. :(
