Is this why there are no Biomass running from Immingham to Drax? Not sure why this would affect them though as they avoid Pontefract? Sorry if I'm being a bit thick.

I wasn't suggesting you have to partake but to go to Amsterdam and not see the red light district is akin to going to Venice and ignoring the gondolas. (Not the best analogy but it is such an obvious part in the centre of the city) The cafe's not so much but they are fascinating places that can...

Indeed. Very easy to enjoy the evening and lose track of, well, everything. Avoid the tourist traps and getting robbed and it's normally a very memorable night/morning.

Well I was Amsterdam last month again and if you're looking for eye-opening I can certainly point you in the right direction.

Evening. Would someone be kind enough to let me know know the 450's on 2P57 1800 London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour, today, Sunday 29th. RTT is inaccurate. Much appreciated. CS.

You've got the service correct. Seems odd, chose to abandon my journey as was going to be 60min late, yet can't claim? Would have been worth going then claiming rather than not bothering!?

Afternoon. My mate and I are just finishing a 3 day HOE Rover. As part of today's plan we were going from Gloucester to Banbury today. Left Gloucester on time on a XC 170. Delayed on route to Worcestershire Parkway, missed the connection to Oxford. Delay would have been just over an hour. Cross...

Has this situation changed at all? Any back in service yet? Much appreciated.

Is it just me being thick or have the know your train allocations vanished from RTT today?

Good evening. I was actually wondering just how far back records go. How far back can info be accessed? For example I was on the first train (8am?) from Inverness to Thurso on 19th June 2014. I would love to know the 158 that took me there. Is there any hope of ever knowing? Or is it Bob...

Another great report Ash, my last proper run pre Covid, bet I couldn't do it now. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Found another couple... On streetview 66145 at Warrington Arpley and I think 66101 in the yard On streetview 142017 with 144011 in York Station On streetview loads at Leicester including 50008 and 56301 1605288732 What's that ex Virgin liveried coach attached to the sleeper?!?!

I am that bored. Stuck at home for another 9 days with Covid, unable to leave the house, I've taken to having a good old look at Google Maps. Thought I'd start a thread detailing things I find remotely interesting, or that others might not have seen, feel free to add to it! (for some reason I...

Loving these again Ash, great to remember these, looking forward to the next one, get on with it! Tech, training for running is more about frequency, the more you do the easier it is, with Ash sitting on his backside for a bit the muscle memory fades a little and the joints aren’t as...

Looking forward to reading part 2, more for your description of your Riding Mill to Corbridge experience!

Harder than I thought to plan this but here’s my thinking... 2T railcard saves us about 180 quid each and for the penalty of not starting before 09:30 seems worth it, will also enable us to actually sleep and not burn out. I suppose the plan, living in Yorkshire is to spend it in places not...

Interail not for us, both got young families so need to be back home a couple of times to stave off divorce. Interests include remote shacks, variety, loco haulage, Scottish HSTs, anything about to disappear from our network.

Morning, Ash and I are going to do a 7 day all line when we’re finally allowed out, am interested in how other people on the forum would approach it. We were thinking of visiting the extremities of the network, 2 nights on the sleeper seats, 2 in hotels, 2 back at home in Yorkshire. Any...

Afternoon, Here's a shot in the dark... I attended the showpiece of the 1995 football season, the Auto Windscreen Final at Wembley. 23rd April 1995. Birmingham versus Carlisle. Obviously the outcome was daylight robbery but I then made my way to Euston and fell asleep on what I think was a...

Those cancellations are odd/wrong as I was on the 1300 from Newcastle and it was 802203. To add to my confusion the front coach A was out of service with TPE crew guarding the doors. Seemed to be lots of cameras in it. Those with reservations for A were eventually directed to coach D, which...
