Thanks Nat67

Was in Devon last week which included a trip into Plymouth on Tues 21/05 & saw all the power cars there that had been used on those last runs on the 18th. When i got back to Plymouth station i was grabbing a few pics of the short hst's when all of a sudden 43185 Great Western coupled up to 43160...

Popped out this morning, near Nailsea, to photograph the 06.00 EXD - BPW short hst that comes out of Laira on a weekday morning & was pleasantly surprised to find it was 43172 Harry Patch on the Bristol end with 43022 on the Exeter end ? There has been some sort of problem on the line between...

There is also the possibility you saw 43172 Harry Patch which is in a predominantly dark brown livery but with poppies all over it, lovely livery ?

As you mentioned brown & orange livery there is the possibility you saw 43172 Harry Patch which is predominantly dark brown but with poppies all over it, lovely livery ?

If you read that part of the post again, but better this time, relating to any change in the rules then you'll see I clearly state that we're aware of the part that says you must be within an hours commute & quite right they are to. The point was that as before when my MRS got her present job...

Let me clear up a couple of points that have been made since my original posting. Firstly when I had my interview for the gate-line at Bristol in all honesty it was probably the most pleasureable interview I've ever had where myself & the two managers were comparing railway stories & experiences...

Next we get First Greater Glasgow bus service 6 Simplicity from Glasgow (Cecil Street) at 10.17 to Glasgow (St Vincent Street) arriving at 10.29 on Sunday morning.

Because I spoke to First at Aberdeen regarding the re advertising that's how ? Shame non of the ones capable of doing the jobs actually work on the Temple Meads gate-line especially on a Saturday night.

From what I've experienced, & it's only my experiences, over the last 6 years or so the recruiting process at what's now GWR is a joke & possibly flawed. I say this because I've done over 70 applications with them over that time & most of them have been for revenue, ticket examiner & gate line...

That looks like it was the train I saw & according to that it went straight up to Doncaster ? I'll check with the guy I know as it's not unknown that he gets things wrong, he's had me standing down here near Nailsea before looking to get a pic of a new named or liveried train yet it's on a...

Fair comments & can understand that decisions are made on purely sound engineering & commercial basis neither of which I have any knowledge or inside info on. All I was told of 092 & 098 was that on that particular evening they were heading to SPM as that was all I asked a good friend of mine...

Was on holiday last week in Shaldon (Teignmouth) & was able to get loads of hst pics etc as they ran opposite our holiday park. Was surprised when on the first morning a four car green hst ran by & returned about 50mins later. Set had power cars 43187 & 016 & performed all week long It's...
