    The 01.46am from York to Manchester??

    Main reason is route retention. Main avoiding route is York-Sherburn-Milford-Castleford- Leeds(Via Holbeck), or up to Cas then via Normanton, Wakey Kirkgate, Healey Mills and back on the main at Thornhill LNW. No TPE Drivers/Guards sign Wakey Westgate or the Featherstone route. When...

    Train Announcements

    We got told prior to the safety announcements to make manual ones. so i turned it into a full blown announcement. Depends on the Guard and whever he/she is in a good mood or not...

    today's class 87 bash

    i don't post on here much now but.. stop taking things so seriously and get off yorkie's case. i personally would like to see the 170s go up in smoke but that's another matter... if you're going to argue with all and sundry 50149 you may as well stay on here. there's been enough of that...

    Central newist deisel fleet

    guard's tip here: on a turdostar(170)put your hand on the top of the door and touch it. it'll open then, hopefully.

    Central 158s - Where are they all?

    170s have been on most lincolnshire routes(on the joint- Lincoln to Sleaford - much to the guard's disgust one day at nottingham i saw)and when they first came out they were on lincoln-grimsby. birmingham-salop seems to be permenantly 170s and walsall-wolverhampton 150s now.

    you're right there, Alex. Bilston - near Killed off when Wolverhampton Council took it over Stourbridge/Brierley Hill - Dudley Council are doing their best to shut them down West Brom - Does it actually exist as a place any more?? Willenhall does have a big claim to fame though...
