Correct, but those staying up for 3 a.m. Eternal will find trains have stopped for the night and face a ruinous cab fare.

I heard that the three letter code for Kirkstall Forge will be KLF. If so, will the passengers be bound for Mu Mu Land?

Lots of youngster on here! It barely seems any time since I regularly rode on peak hauled trains diving under in both directions at Heaton Lodge!

Thanks folks!

Is this still usable as a conventional service train since the franchise was split off? There are no fares showing in NRE, but the service is listed as being there. I suppose the excellent advances that used to be available Mallaig > Glasgow using this service for a good later departure weren't...

What happens if you are on along journey and show all your tickets to the guard at the first opportunity and he grips them all? Could you then run into bother later in the journey with a different guard who might think you were re-using the portion that was valid at the time he was checking...

High mileage, a Man of Steel move, and quality traction! Sounds like a winning GBBO combination. Only worry is rancidness after the move causing big deductions.

Judging by what I saw today, 37 bashers could do with evolving a means of getting across the footbridge at St Bees in double quick time! Go go gadget legs.....

I had thought this TBH. A significant problem could be that cranks in general rather than just 37 bashers are not endowed with numerous opportunities to pass on their genes anyway........

In the hypothetical scenario that class 37s and mk 2s with window bars remained on the Cumbrian Coast for several tens of thousands of years (although given the average age of Northern's stock, this may not be as hypothetical as all that), would class 37 bashers eventually evolve heads narrow...

How do you know what that particular Man of Steel had or hadn't researched??

Indeed. Hence the generous reward that would be forthcoming! This is exactly the sort of risky behaviour that makes for good telly IMHO. If it were a few minutes later the footage of him legging it down Euston Road, coffee flying everywhere, would be priceless.

Someone of my acquaintance this morning made a -7 off the Lowland Sleeper at Euston into the 07:00 Kings Cross > Edinburgh. This obviously includes the walk along Euston Road. While in practice the sleeper often arrives early, this isn't something that can be banked on, and his planned move was...

An interesting twist. What would be the reasons for elimination? Too many Voyagers? Behaving like a complete vegetable in the vestibule of the Anglia 37s? Generally bringing the hobby into disrepute on national telly?

I did it right enough, just to say I had basically. Was very glad to get out at Glasgow though. Done the Chieftain throughout a few times, but always in First. Now that VTEC have abolished EC's excellent rewards points (and replaced it with worthless Nectar Points, grrrrr!) I doubt I'll do it...
