    Toton Yard Sat 11 Aug

    The silver and maroon coaches are the DB managers train, which is formed of a DVT (82146) and 3 Mk3 coaches (10211, 10546 & 11039). The blue and grey coaches were Mk2 coaches, ex Cargo D I believe.

    I saw it on Friday night at Rugby working north on 4S47 Dirft - Grangemouth intermodal so it is definitely "alive & kicking"!

    TV Alert Tonight (Monday)

    I had the same thought as well. I have looked on Rail Archives at the track diagram and the line that the Thames Turbo was on (Line 3) ended after signal SN109 by either converging on to the Down Relief or the Up Main. I have attached the link as it shows it far better than I can describe it...

    NFL is back

    Might be an idea to ask Martin Johnson his views on NFL compared to Rugby as he is a big fan and has even been out to a NFL training camp! Then you might find out which sport is the tougher!

    Mileage Competition 2011

    I have never ticked that box before as wasn't sure what it would do! Just tried it for RUG-WFJ and it gave me 3 routes including one through DIRFT! RUG-EUS is even better as it gave me 10 different routings :shock: :lol:

    I have been updating my mileage after a trip to London yesterday however, cannot get the mileage for the Piccadilly line Heathrow loop from T4 to T1,2,3. RailMiles keeps wanting to send me back to Hatton Cross to do the journey even though it is a one way loop :roll: Can anybody help...

    Ian Bell - Cricket

    There have been incidents in the recent past where you could argue the same thing should have then as happened in this match. In a one day game between England and NZ, a NZ batter collided and fell over the bowler and was subsequently run out. Paul Collingwood did not withdraw the appeal...

    Latest forum statistics

    You're having a laugh. IE9 is awful compared to IE8 as it soo slow. In fact as a result of how bad it is I am now using Firefox. I am also thinking of trying Chrome to see what this is like since it seems to get good reviews on here!

    Careless drivers to face on-the-spot fines

    More likely using a sat-nav and following it religiously to the letter!

    Your Most Annoying/Most Liked Advert

    That sums it up nicely for me! I watch some adverts and wonder why someone thought it would encourage me to use/buy their products they are that poor / lame / annoying!

    City Status 2012

    There was me who thought Milton Keynes was already a city, especially as 86211 was named City of Milton Keynes in the 1980s!

    Have you heard about a stupid day name?

    Based on my experiences that half the US seems to think a British accent is Australian they'll be hugging a lot of non Aussies as well :lol:

    If you type king's in Railmiles then it should give you 4 options for LUL. Kings Cross is one of those odd ones where it cannot decide if there is an apostrophe or not. For the mainline station it doesn't but to get LUL it does. Personally I always thought it should be without an apostrophe.

    You can get Metrolink distances off Railmiles, its Piccadilly (Metrolink) but Manchester Victoria (Metrolink) for some reason, all others should be there.

    I see the top 2 leaders have some impressive mileages. :lol: :roll: First place has 2,003,410 miles :shock: Thats about 9,000 miles a day including weekends or a mere 374 miles an hour if you were travelling 24 hours a day. :roll: Second place is only 200,000 but that is still nearly a...
