There was a double deck again on the 317 this afternoon, via main road - is this the begining of the end for the Were Giffard service?

317 has had break downs and a double decker has substituted on 2 days recently. Were Giffard is omitted due to the low bridge, but it was not even mentioned on Twitter or the Stagecoach website. There was also a diversion due to road resurfacing at Merton. 317 ran to the back of Dolton then 5b...

Anyone know when and where this happened and what impact it had on services?

Fantastic trip, please do give us some pictures, of course you were well outside LT, LCBS had taken over the green empire in 1970. I might have stayed on the 712 all the way to Dorking, RFs working on coaches were always a joy.

I remember vividly being told at Folkestone Central (waiting for the return Liverpool to appear) that it was "not one of ours" and was "operated by a different company" - in about 1991. Exactly the same words from staff at Bromley South about the same train, for my regular journey in the early...

If the emails are a bother either use the "unsubscribe" or send a cease and desist email, you must record whatever you do, if after a reasonable time they send you one more it is unsolicited marketing email (aka vile pink pig meat or SPAM) and you may invoke PEC 2003 [22] and [30] and invoice...

When we had platform staff and attended stations was not suicide prevention something that was done automatically. These security persons could carry a broom or paintbrush, answer a few general inquiries or even tend a station garden or cat, all this would make the security operative more...

The link reads like one of the new rulesets for Mornington Crescent I knew they were right about the podules of Trelissium

Certainly agree about Rayners Lane, its disrespect to the original and makes half the passengers walk further, something I would grudge every single day, how they got away with it in a listed building is unfathomable. Same line Uxbridge has suffered many "improvements" the worst of which was...

Anyone like to vote for the Station that has suffered the most unsympathetic changes or add ons that have spoiled the original architecture. Can be one thing or the whole station. Pictures a bonus

An aside, was there a rash of prosecutions 70s? Stewards taking their own tomatoes and pocketing 30p per sandwich

Has anyone got any details of the interior or operation of the pre war Green Line hub? All I can find is 2 LPTB exterior photos

" Penzance is a lovely station and has a real ‘that’s as far as you go’ feel about it." It's the buffer stops are the give away But a fine station
