Hi all,

I was intending to PM yorkie, but instead i thought why not, i will make a thread and embrace all of that knowledge.

Basically, I'm thinking about going down to Euston to get a shot of this bubble car (it looks incredibly retro stabled in there) But i dont have a clue about it; times, finishing dates routes etc.

Any help?

Although the diverts start this weekend, the bubble will be used for some time yet as there are a lot more staff who need to gain route knowledge.

I travelled on the bubble a few weeks ago, and the timings were around 10.36 at Leamington Spa, 1207 at Greenford and 12.57 at Euston for a 13.25 departure North.

Everyday on the Cardiff Queen Street - Cardiff Bay run, I would list a a driagram but its all in the timetable anyway :P

This of course can change if the bubble is off due to a failure or exam, in which then anything will cover for it, from a 142 to a 158 (although the latter is probably rare, but has been seen before)

I think this bubble car is being used on hire from Chiltern for Virgin drivers for route learning for when the WCML is blockaded. The WSMR logo on the side was put on there when Chiltern leased it to WSMR for their route learning. Maybe it should have Virgin Trains on the side?
