Intercity Swallow, Network Southeast. First Great Eastern and the full branded ONE liveries, the 315's looked very smart in those. ScotRail Saltire

That probably explains why the train I was on, the 1615 LST-SOV diverted on to the slower lines at Gidea Park.

I purchased 3 advance first class tickets to Edinburgh last year for myself and my friends around the same sort of time period. Of course, as Covid took hold, we obviously weren't able to use those tickets. I was able to get a full refund from LNER to my payment card with no fuss at all. Now, I...

I was on the 1130 EDB-KGX and got caught up in this. At one point we were number 8 in the queue waiting to go southbound. Every so often the train would start up for a few mins, travel for a few miles then stop. This carried on for over an hour until we were first in the queue. We were then told...

Apparently East Coast did away with the Flying Scotsman 10am northbound not long after taking control of the franchise. I remember taking the 10am northbound towards the end of January '09 and it definitely highlighted it as the Flying Scotsman service on the destination boards, this was during...

That explains that then. Thanks, had no idea.

For locos: The 37's For trains/units: I'd say the HST, followed by class 165.

In 2012 during one of my Canadian holidays, I used the SkyTrain service to get around Vancouver and the surrounding areas. Although SkyTrain is classed as light rail similar to the DLR, I hope it counts.
