TOC merchandise

[sciisfun]

Good evening all,
Up until This evening I was unaware that anyone other than GWR had a merchandise shop, however LNER's april fools took me to their shop, and I was wondering if there was any others I had missed? for reference, this is gwr's shop (the railcard holder is very robust, and has been my daily for about 6 years now) and this is the LNER's shop.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any others.

Well I didn't know about those, and sadly I cannot offer any links to any others, but I do like the GWR shop. The socks are on my wishlist, I will say that much, and HOW MUCH do they want for those window stickers?! £270?!

LNER still charging £7.99 for a 2021 calendar seems a bit cheeky, it must be said!

There is one for Tyne & Wear Metro, nexus.org.uk/metro/merchandise

There’s no products on it currently but stuff does pop up on there from time to time.

Merseyrail don't have an online shop but they do sell merch in MtoGo shops located at Liverpool South Parkway, Liverpool Central, Moorfields and Southport.

The plushie trains are great for kids albiet a bit pricey at £20 per toy.

Rip off!

Quite a contrast to LNER where at the end of the journey on a Mark 4 set if you ask politely you’re usually allowed to take one for free!

it is a box of 238 unused ones to be fair, and the last one available

good to know, I'm up in manchester/liverpool next weekend, I'll drag the missus in!

In the LNER shop, I presume that bigjigs, is the current name for brio? It looks the same.

The GWR ticket holder looks useful, I don't know about the tie slide though.

 

[LowLevel]

How many pockets does the GWR wallet have in it out of interest?

Caledonian Sleeper should have an online shop soon.

I'll have to remember to divert via Central next time I'm up there then!

The soft toy trains, when I bought one in 2020, were much more sensibly priced. I have recollections of paying £14.99 for mine! Got it from the Lime Street MtoGo shop at the time, which I see doesn't exist as it was back then.

I also want to know the answer to LowLevel's question, the GWR wallet looks like a good buy. A bit more elegant than tickets in a phone case kind of desire!

Big jigs and Brio is like Coke and Pepsi, same thing but different companies

Only the two see through pockets, but they’re quite forgiving in depth, I’ve got my railcard, Oyster card, and about a dozen sentimental tickets in one side, and an assortment of tickets from my last few trips in the other. Also I don’t know if it says it on the website or not, but they are proper leather, which is a pro or a con depending on which side of the fence you stand on

That right? I’d like to see what they’d have on offer?

Thanks! I will have to order one soon then, it will look a darn sight smarter than pulling cards and tickets out of the phone case whenever necessary. One has standards you know!

Out of interest, what kind of merch are people collecting/buying. Never knew such shops existed!
Would be very interested in raising this with my TOC, could just imagine some die-cast models. And my kids would love some replica brio type wooden trains

Mine too (on the brio-type trains). Surprised that no other TOC has picked up on it, my kids would love a TfW wooden train, probably end up having a bit of a collection of them!

East Midlands Railway look to be opening a shop soon. Here.
