You probably saw me as well
If you see a teenager swooning when a Pendolino approaches, hi.
Surely that would be considered as something suspicious and should be reported to 61016

Indeed. Maybe even counter-terrorism?Surely that would be considered as something suspicious and should be reported to 61016

The 1752 (the 1652 doesn't go to Hereford). I've yet to see a 9 car get to Hereford (someone will now prove that they have, I'm sure) and I don't think they can run 2 x 5 cars because of the short platforms.

Aye. I've had 800307 Ledbury-Hereford!
We saw @geofftech & Vicky at ImberBus, and at 1min49 in this video, you might recognise some forum members:
We saw @James Wake but that wasn't unexpected, though his diagram turned out by sheer chance to be the optimum for us to do a trip on without having to specifically go out of our way to see him. I also spotted @hassaanhc.

I saw an unknown forum member at Middlesbrough today and we talked about Northern stock changes in the Teeside area and TOCs on Twitter. Perhaps they could identify themselves?

@Sir_Sheep has just wandered over to me onboard DMU at the East Lancashire Railway
Whilst out and about with @Starmill and @Sir_Sheep earlier, one of our trains was guarded by @Solent&Wessex
One from a few weeks ago, and not quite a meeting but it was agreed last night when with a group of forummers that it belonged here
I called the support phone line of one of the support partners (IT) of the company I work for regarding an issue we were having - this call was answered by @Mike395 (I knew they worked at the company I was calling, but wasn't expecting them to answer....they weren't expecting me either!)

Not sure if he is a forum member, but once met the famed Ian Poole at Rugeley Trent Valley.
I heard that he gave up the railways for a while (possibly something to do with bullying?) no idea if he had resumed the hobby.

Earlier today I bumped into @FelixtheCat at Paddington station - it turned out that he was heading for the same train as me!

Great to see you again! It was a good way to spend a train journey.
Ian did used to be but hasn't been for some time. Still active elsewhere, I believe.
Ended up bumping into @wellhouse on the 901 bus from Hebden Bridge to Huddersfield the other day.
Always good to have a catch up about the bus scene in West Yorkshire

Starmill and I saw @Sir_Sheep at Manchester Piccadilly after the Stafford meal last month.
About 5 weeks ago we had @gimmea50anyday as our Guard between York and Newcastle, and a few days before that I was boarding a train at Doncaster and saw @class47 also getting on the same train.

Anon Mouse and I are both based at the same TPE traincrew depot
So I understand - in my case it was on the stopper that runs between Leeds and Huddersfield via Dewsbury so it was rather unexpected to see crew from a distance away!

Most of the back shift stoppers LDS-HUD are Newcastle crewed while the cl170 operated ones are Manchester based. You may well have bumped into me then if you are regularly on those stoppers
I'm not that regular, but on two of the occasions I have used it, it has been guarded by a different RailUK member! Maybe one day it will become three

@fishquinn and I sat in the same row on 90013 today lol
@ForTheLoveOf appeared unexpectedly on our train between Gilberdyke and Selby this evening.

Indeed, I was just going out for a jolly from home to home via Gilberdyke, and the double 153 that @yorkie & co were on was the train that suited my return itinerary best. Imagine my surprise when I walked down the aisle and heard mentions of "the thread about..." (something or other)! Out of all the trains, and out of all the obscure stations!

Unexpectedly bumped into @TT-ONR-NRN as I was alighting my HST at Market Harborough earlier today

Saw @cactustwirly in Market Harborough, then later at London Paddington @fishquinn decided to creep up behind me too. 
I wouldn't call it 'creeping up', more walking at a slightly faster pace than you towards the blocks at Paddington (us both having got off the same train)
