As the title may suggest, I'm looking for ideas as to how to tackle the c2c network (primarily for ticking off the stations). I'm aware there aren't any day rangers for the area, so how am I best going about it? How have other people cleared c2c? Answers on a postcard please...

Let's see how long this lasts! :lol: My (probably part time) return to trip reporting kicks off with a round up of last month's activities. October started with a trip down to London with my partner, as the NFL were back to playing three games a year in the UK after a Covid-related break. Our...

News coming out this morning that Mythbusters co-host Grant Imahara has passed away at age 49. He was a huge part of a show that I loved to watch growing up and he will be missed far and wide. RIP.

Afternoon. I hope social distancing isn't taking too much of a toll on you. I was looking through my old photos from previous trips the other day and I have come to the conclusion that whilst my camera phone produces fine quality photos, I think I'd like to start using a proper camera. Anyone...

Hi all, looking for some advice. I've been invited to an interview day with Lothian Buses and was wondering what to expect and what sort of things I should prepare for. There's going to be a Trainability Psychometric test and a scenario based interview. I'm assuming this is standard for most bus...

I can't find a thread on here so far for this so here goes; The East Coast Class 67 drags between Newcastle and Carlisle are booked to happen on Saturdays 17th & 24th September, and 1st October this year. According to one of the Yahoo groups I'm a member of, these are the booked workings...

Hi there, I'm currently trying to compile a set of diagrams for Scotrail DMU units using info from Realtime Trains and a couple of other resources, and I wish to use this space to discuss any queries I may have when it comes to working out what each unit does. I'll start off by asking...

Does anyone know what this was?http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U63651/2015/06/24/advanced I'm rather intrigued as to what it could possibly be. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Hi all, Can't seem to find this being answered anywhere else here so I thought I'd ask. Will a Strathclyde Roundabout ticket work in automatic barriers? If so, will it work them multiple times in a day or would it just be the first couple of times? The reason I ask is that I don't...

I never realised how hard it was to come up with a catchy title until now! Anyway, after reading through a few trip reports here I have decided to have a go myself. The one I've settled on for now is a Central Scotland 3 in 7, as it gives me three days to complete the task I've set out. That...

Hi folks, Apologies if this has been covered anywhere else, but a search has shown nothing. Do the class 314 units still operate Inverclyde services? If so, does anyone know of the services they are booked to operate? I am planning to get as many as possible for haulage in March/April and...

Hi all, I'm traveling to Liverpool in October and I need to collect the tickets at a machine at the station. What i'm wondering is, is there any time limit on me collecting these tickets, i.e. Can I wait until the day of travel or do I need to collect them sooner? Thanks, Alex

Hi all, I'm looking for some signalling diagrams for Yoker signal box (the North Clyde lines after 1987) Does anyone know where i could find one, as a search on google has thrown up no results. Help is much apperciated, Alex.

Reports of a fatality on the line somewhere, no idea where. It's chaos at King's X right now, what with it being the tail end of the morning rush. It looks like if you wish to travel to Edinburgh you're looking at 4 different trains. Anyone got any more info? Thoughts are with anyone involved...

Anyone know what happened to today's 1S24, the 1600 King's X to Edinburgh? Realtime trains shows it as arriving into Edinburgh 61 minutes late. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y50377/2013/11/16/advanced Thanks, Alex

Hi all. This question has been bugging me for a while; On the older buses with manual roller blinds that had numbers on 3 (or 4) separate tracks, how did the driver change the numbers with only 1 handle? i'm intrigued as to how it works. Alex

Not sure where I should ask this but here goes. Before the extension to Anniesland opened in 2005, where did trains from Glasgow terminating at Maryhill turn back for the return trip? The only place I can think of is at the connection with the North Clyde line further along the line. Thanks, Alex

Apologies if this is in the wrong section as I don't know where it should go, but does anyone know if the 0630 Edinburgh to Glasgow Queen Street service is diagrammed a 158 of 170 as the timetable shows no catering service.

I was reading the latest update on thejunction.org and it said that 3 car sets are being formed by inserting 57209 & 57212 into other trains. I was wondering what has happened to these trains.

I know we're a bit far off yet but by 2014/15 the class 314s will be off the rails and I think now is the time to start speculating what could be it's replacement.
