    Northbound Lowland Sleeper delayed

    Having woken up at stupid o'clock, I looked out of my hotel window here at Crewe, and noticed the sleeper sitting in the station. Its still here now, at 0400hrs. Over an hour late by the looks of it. Now some enthusiasts have turned up to take pictures! I assume they are early risers waiting...

    Taunton to Bristol

    A quick one. Taunton to Bristol. Valid via Westbury and Bath Spa? Yay or nay? I would have said yes, as the routeing guide seems to suggest it is fine, but others on another forum seem to think it isnt, for various reasons.

    Democracy?

    What is this forum turning into? Someone mentions about the state of the moderating (fairly as well) and his post gets deleted? So a question? Can the mods take criticism? Everybody can learn things, but if you go round deleting posts just because they criticise the moderating, then this forum...

    DRS Boat train

    Im sure this is on here somewhere, but the search function has showed nothing. So, does anyone know which stock DRS use for the boat trains? Is it the ex Stobart Pullman Mk3s? If so, i heard they had sold these coaches off. Thanks.
