Next time I'm on an ECS at the start/end of service I'll have to get a shot of a SWT displaying 'Bedtime'.

A friend of mine's had Time for Tea on a 450 before, whilst have passed / photted a Voyager with Bejing via Ghobi Desert on the side before.

No photo, I'm afraid, but one December in the early 1990s a class 165 at Marylebone was showing "Merry Christmas", and on the screens in each coach there was, instead of the usual list of stations to be called at, a long message wishing all passengers the compliments of the season. Unfortunately the system appeared to have run out of capacity, because the message broke off suddenly before it had had time to complete its good wishes for a happy new year.

Also no photo, but I did mention it a while back on this forum: A SWT 444 at Woking was showing "New Delhi" as I passed through once...

Didn't the OP specifically ask nobody post that one?

Meh I thought it's funny and not everyones seen it so didn't see the harm. Besides I'm trying to compete.

Not the clearest of pictures but this was posted a while back on a friends Facebook page.

I've posted this before last year, but it certainly fits this thread!

Where's the (in)famous LM 350 one saying "Dave's Party Wagon?"

Those Voyagers seem to like running via the Gobi Desert! (Can we please leave them there then?).

 

[LNW-GW Joint]

I thought "Good Morning" on the front was a nice polite way to start a journey on a Voyager, even if it meant the rest of the PIS was down!

Wow! That was one of the photos I lost when Fotopic went belly up. Not that it is a particularly good picture but I put it online because of its interest value. I'm glad somebody saved a copy of it. I lost the original after a hard disc failure. I shall tidy it up and put it on my Flickr pages now.

 

[ainsworth74]

Aha! Glad I could help

I saw a 360 pass through Shenfield station once station "No Sides on 321" or something the that effect. Obviously wrong information system had been loaded onto that train but still surprised to see something typed into that Side Displays field on whatever program creates the displays.

I'm always amused when the trains which divide to go to Brighton and Brighton via Preston Park (there is a slower and a faster portion on a handful of services) end up advertising themselves as "Brighton and Brighton" services - the cab-end displays don't display anything to clarify this, so non-regulars do get confused! They should say "Brighton and Preston Park".

For anybody old enough to remember the children's TV programme 'The Magic Roundabout', that was Zebedee's catchphrase.

I've never seen pictures of the 158 going to exotic destinations

there is currently a swt 158 running with blackpool pleasure beach on one end and displayin mystery destination on the other brightened my day anyway

 

[scotsman]

I've seen a 158 in Haymarket depot with "Manchest United Football Ground" on

 

[12CSVT]

The 158 at the Mid Norfolk today was displaying 'Inverness via Stirling'.

Preserved lines do that all the time. I've seen a 101 on the NNR that was going to 'Carlisle', 'Harwich' and 'Llandudno Jcn' before. Mind you, I've seen pictures of 319s showing 'Dunstable' for some reason.
