All it takes is a little thought about how other people feel. Everyone can have a bad day, but there is no excuse to treat strangers as though they are cattle or that they mean nothing compared to the life you are living. At the end of the day, we all want to get home as quick as we can. I...

I can see it perfectly from another person’s point of view, but I would never get on a train demanding strangers do as I say.

I walk all over Britain and use rail to achieve my goals. This was the first time in 5 years I have ever had someone go out of their way to be awkward. It was also the first time I have used First Great Western. You can see my walks here...

I am referring to passengers who have no regard or respect for other people on the same train they are travelling on. It was early December 2013 and I had just completed a 20 mile walk to Bristol. The train I had the misfortune to get on was standing room only at Bristol Temple Meads. I had no...

This is the new 11-car Virgin Pendolino at Crewe in March. The seats still had bubble wrap on them. http://s1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/BohemianBrummie/

I saw this view from the window of a Class 390 and wondered if any of you out there know why the livery is this way? I’m guessing it’s some kind of tribute for Bombardier Transportation. :| --- old post above --- --- new post below ---...

May 2011 bring you everything you ever wished for and those elusive train numbers! :)

I can't reply to that as there is a pillar in the way. :p

Virgin has, Network Rail hasn't. :cry:

Comics? I think most of them have that level of understanding as it is just a job for most. Gone are the days when you took on a job for the love of it. :(

I did. Yesterday. http://www.railforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=40034 :)

Are you having a general moan? :D

Class 220 trains have large silver tinted windows so you can look at your face as you gaze at the view outside. :|

The train that doesn't know if it's a bus or train! :p

Myth: 40 The London Midland route from Stratford-upon-Avon to Great Malvern and beyond using Class 150 rolling stock isn't a third class service. :roll:

Silly ewe! :p

I was on a Class 323 from Birmingham New Street to Walsall with the hope of getting off at Witton. I noticed that a Class 221 was blocking my train (as they always seem to do heading south). I heard a muffled announcement over the cry of screaming children and a group of very excited Chinese...

Myth: 29 The facelift they are giving Birmingham New Street station is really going to work. I don't know if any of you have seen the 'improved' look on Platform 1 yet? :|

When I was much younger, you could build anything using Lego and it's cheap as well! If only life was so simple. :(
