The Facebook page for the Cl58LG seems quite active - apparently 58023 completed its FTR at Litchurch Lane yesterday and ‘is ready for it’s onward move’…

I used to commute once or twice a week from Bristol to London for many years - it reached a point last year where the real price of rail fares and the increasing cost of living actually made it more cost effective for us to move to London. That’s something I would have never predicted ten or so...

Split fare with a Network card, then book through Uber for a 5% cashback…

More importantly - who is drawing the smiley face and/or BR logo on the front of the 455/458s? I have noticed it on dozens of different units in recent months….

Rather surprised to see 5707 return - it's my 'last one' so hope to catch it in the next few days. It's just about to go empty to WD to Woking so hope it comes back out later. Was certain that was off to Newport...

For many years I did a similar commute (Clifton Down to London) - the only way I could effectively reduce my costs was finding a regular airbnb (in Balham) which I still use occasionally now, nearly ten years later. I never found a way to reduce the rail costs. There's a lot of people who do...
