I'm thinking of doing an evening peak return from St. Panc and back on these on the 29th of June, and was just wondering if Priv boxes are valid on these services? It says Railcard Discounts apply, and as far as I know it's still classed as a standard service train? Please correct me if I'm...

Hi mate, yes it will be excellent this year, a real treat on the Saturday evening too as the East Lancashire Rly's BR all Blue class 122 will be running with the Llangollen Railcars class 104 just repainted into all Blue which looks excellent, and the Class 108 unit in Blue and Grey in a 5 car...

As a sneak preview to next weekend's Llangollen Railcar Gala (16th and 17th of May) we have added some pictures of the class 104 in its new colours to the Gala page of our website. East Lancs have also confirmed class 122 bubble car 55001 is ready and it is expected to be moved on Wednesday...

Excellent, I think I shall give it a go this week, possibly Friday. Thanks.

On Vic station, if you go to the far end of the platform where the station building is on (Can't remember the number I'm afraid, the first through road platform you come to from turning left from the main entrance) i.e. the end away from the Metrolink Platforms, there is a foot bridge you can...

Damn, I like those units :( Won't be happy if they go! Did a day on each of them over a weekend in August, good fun!

I've just had a read of the Daily Mail flailing article... It makes me laugh how they blow the story completly out of the water by saying the Peak Army make Nazi Style saluts!! It's a flail and it's most certainly nothing to do with the Nazis! Do your research Daily FAIL...

This looks pretty decent.. I can jib down to London after Uni on the Friday afternoon and do this on my VT Priv card... Niceeee.... So when is this starting then, the 29th of Jan 09?

I think Pacers are pretty decent entertainment wise too, nothing on a 1st gen DMU, or loco hauled.. but for there-every-day workhorse traction they are a bit of fun, especially when they bomb it on joined track lol!
