Cancelled

Than you, I have recently seen a photo on flickr, of all 3 running through Warrington Bank Quay last Friday the 20th. So i presume they were the same 3 at Crewe on Saturday. I'm only really interested in the 70, which is an all time cop. I copped 56105 at Bescot in May 1982 and 60095 the day...

Saw Colas 56+60+70 all light leaving Crewe Basford Hall at 10:30 ish yesterday morning, heading for Met-Camm, Washwood Heath. Could someone identify them for me please, my eyes ain't what they used to be!!

A bit late for this, but does anyone know where the following units will end up being stabled tonight and or have been working today? 350103, 109, 112, 114, 118, 123. The above still required for new alignment of down slow from Searchlight Lane to Yarnfield Jcn. Also 350368 still...

I may have a biased view, as they were the death knell of my beloved 87's, but apart from the obvious claustrophobic atmosphere and tiny windows, the sound-proofing is non existent under the floor especially running over intricate pointwork. I vowed i would never have one in or out of Euston and...

Thanks for that, will be heading in the Crewe direction tomorrow, she will be out on Liverpool or Trent Valley routes!!

Good afternoon all, not posted on here very often, but could some kind soul find out what trains the 350/3's have/are working today? Especially 368, as always evades me, will be out playing trains tomorrow too.

Could anyone tell me if the Class 222/1's have specific diagrams, and if so what do they work on Saturdays? Thanks in advance:)

On Saturday 23rd August all three units worked the following trains:- 350372 1S51 350373 + 350402 1S66 350374 + 350406 1S56

Reading your reply I now realise what a very complicated subject ticketing/fares/routes is, that's probably why I was never a guard, I used to drive trains in the 1980's and 90's but can't get my head around ticketing!!

Perhaps I ought to come clean while I am interested in taking this route. You see I'm a Class 350 haulage/mileage/route basher. 1S32 Preston - Glasgow 1 x 350 1M99 Edinburgh - Preston 2 x 350 A decent move for a sad crank like me!!

Thank you for your swift reply, I didn't realise Preston - Edinburgh was valid via Glasgow! As you seem to know about these kind of issues, can I pick your brains a little further? 1. If I was to go Preston - Edinburgh via Glasgow wouldn't the conductor query the route I was taking...

Dear all ticket gurus, I have purchased a Preston to Glasgow off peak day return for this Saturday (£38.60), if I wish to come back via Edinburgh am I valid to do this? If not how do I go about getting an excess from Edinburgh and how much will it cost/where/whom do I buy from? Thanks...

Brilliant news, last 350 required for haulage for the year, better be quick eh!! Last seen in February at Keynes, I should be out this Friday on the bash, hope she's out.
