    Thanks. Any idea, what Caroline was being used for on this occasion? Route learning or private excursion, or something else?

    Anomalies following March '22 fares rise. SWR priced flows

    Wish that were so. Just (1130) asked at my local SWR station for the cheapest day return from Templecombe to Basingstoke travelling out on the next train (1143). Was offered the Off Peak Day Return which is 20p more than the Anytime Day Return. The TVM outside also didn't have the cheaper...

    Collision and derailment near Salisbury (Fisherton Tunnel) 31/10/21

    I'm told by an SWR Guard that nothing has been able to leave Salisbury depot this morning. Hence why there's only a shuttle between Gillingham and Exeter using units that outstation at Yeovil and Exeter overnight.

    Hove to Bristol day trip

    Worth bearing in mind that the nearest station to the main University of Bristol campus buildings is Clifton Down. Extend that final split ticket to there. Same price as ticket to Bristol TM. Clifton Down station is on Whiteladies Road where there are numerous shops, bars, restaurants etc that...

    Should Gov be sued over PRM failure?

    How exactly do the courts censure the government? Courts rule on the law. No law has been broken. As pointed out in the post just before yours (did you read it?) the legislation as written allows for derogations. Here's the legislation: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/3066/regulation/45

    Conductor: Any chance with drink drive conviction?

    And you've totally missed the point about DBS filtering. Offences that are 'filtered' will not be disclosed on a DBS certificate. Yes, the offence won't become 'spent' until such time as stated by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (as amended). However whether its 'spent' or not isn't the...

    Conductor: Any chance with drink drive conviction?

    Fantastic amount of disinformation already posted. None of which has mentioned the DBS filtering process that's been in place since 2013. The licence endorsement for a drink driving conviction is known as a DR10. These are usually filtered from a Standard DBS check so should not need to be...

    Favourite (Non Train) Youtube Channels

    How exactly does one go about this. Is a muzzle required? Where do you stick the fuse? As for preferring the printed word over 'crackpot enthusiasts' on YouTube, I have to disagree. Recently for me I was after a guide on how to fit a DCC chip to an old N gauge locomotive. Doubtful there would...
