Similar happens at Paddington as well - blanket generalisations like this are not always correct - it depends on the restriction code.

Restriction C4 has no evening restriction from St Pancras Mon-Fri, only a restriction in the morning peak. (EDIT: Beaten to it above!) Regardless, if you are sold a ticket with an itinerary from an accredited retailer, it is a valid ticket on the itinerary it is sold with.

I'm not sure I understand what the question is - is it "why do I get offered two singles (Advance and off-peak) on Tues, but a return on Fri?" (If so, isn't it because the former is cheaper by 10p on the Tues, but the advance fare at £5.05 is not available on Fri - only £5.90 so you get offered...

And you also have Marylebone to Oxford to check as an alternative as well using the Chiltern service in case that doesn't work out.

Lovely stuff!

That looks super - is it a bashed R-T-R model or are you making it from kit/scratch? Some nice work! EDIT: Ah - I see the Latest Acquisition post!

Really useful information - thanks everyone. The SW region news trains were certainly a real mix up of all kinds of stock! Can I ask what the differences are in the CWN between eg PMV (4) and PMV (News)? I see there are also things like BY (News) - again, something specific about a BY converted...

B sounds like an option! (Presuming you're set more in the 70s at present?)

No - still helpful: there is a 3-set attached, so that's more than a single loose brake shoved on the back/front (and how very Southern keeping coaches in sets!) 1712870508 Super thanks - again, looks like a 3-set of some sort attached to a variety of vans.

Ah yes, thanks - the GUVs for the Southern Region were around 1959 if I remember right.

Thanks all - I may drop on and grab a copy of one of the timetables of the time and see what I can dig out. I would be interested in the formations certainly around that time - of course, running at night, there aren't many photos around to refer to, and certainly not of that period (more later...

Have been plugging away at two of the vans I sprayed up - a PMV and a Python A. Solebars/wheels sorted. PMV underframe finished - Python needs brakes and rodding applying (I've since done the brakes, steps, etc). Then some more paint touchup, interior painting, windows, then weathering/decals....

I'm definitely a beginner, and learning as I go! Some things I have learnt so far: it's really important to add the right amount of weight, and to get the model built square with all four wheels (for non bogie stock) level and on the rails. The Parkside kits that I've been working on are...

Does anyone have information about newspaper trains that ran on the Southern Region in late 50s/early 60s - esp those on the Central region? Interested in timetables/routes, and also stock/motive power if anyone knows? It's late steam and probably about the time when (after '62) the type JAs...

That's a super looking loco 1712776085 A couple of eBay kit pickups again for me. An LNER loco coal wagon by Parkside (PC31) - will be an ex LNER BR version, late in life, as a general mineral wagon when done. Also, a cheap Cambrian Bolster D kit (C56) - have looked at the kit, scratched head a...

Using the fare period feature in BR Fares, the weekday Off Peak day return was £14.90 in the period 2 Jan 2023—4 Mar 2023 (the equivalent anytime day return was £15.70, and super off peak return £10). How "recent" is recent memory when the weekday off peak return was £11, or am I missing something?

You may also need the DCC blanking plate to replace it with. You can program DCC chips to run on DC - but of course, you'll need to have access to a DCC programmer to do so... Am a little surprised that it doesn't already support DC though.,.

Ah, see, I think I've managed to naff up my knee just digging the allotment at the weekend - suspect I have a meniscus injury that I've suddenly made a hundred times worse than it was already. And that's even before I think about running (and I used to run a lot!) - definitely getting old (not...

That is especially poor given they themselves advertise e-tickets as an option that can be "downloaded into your digital wallet" (ref: https://www.greatnorthernrail.com/tickets/ticket-types-explained/etickets) - and that Moorgate to Stevenage is a flow with e-Tickets enabled...
