The old written layout is much easier to read than the table, as the service is on the same line, not on the next one, which could easily be mistaken if there are the same classes on that and the one above, as the one above could be the service as well, though it does look better for the edge columns for the extra info.

Thanks for the feedback. I only use the Table format when I have had a big day where I've seen loads of stuff. I will do my best revert to the written format as much as I can.

Glad someone is actually reading it

I do read all posts on this thread, some admittedly I only skim through a little if I'm pushed for time. All posts are welcome, especially in areas I'm less familiar with.

03_179's blog I have yet to have a proper look at, I never seem to have the time to get onto it.

Happy Easter everyone!

The Beefeater(?) across the road from Horsham station is good for watching trains, however, unless they were on P1 it was impossible to see their numbers!

[Techniquest]

That diagram does occasionally produce a 170, thankfully not often. You'll also want to avoid the 0734 HFD-BHM

 

[Steveswan10]

Was in Newport this morning and at 07:30 saw 60100 on the Margam-Llanwern steel train, was most pleased to see a full load of 24 coil wagons (haven't been to newport much over the last year or so and normally when seen these services are either Light Engine or only 10/11 wagons) so just nice to see a lot of wagons

Since 150938 has been reformed back into its original units, GWR only have two 150/9s again now which means it's one less three car set that can cover for a failed 158 on this route. Pity 153s can't go to Portsmouth!

Lots of people complaining on Twitter about the 2-car 158. Left Temple Meads ten minutes late due to overcrowding and apparently two platform changes didn't help matters either.
