Same for me. I tend to only put the tv on in the evenings. And it’s usually old programmes on GOLD or the other channels mentioned. Currently binging Brookside on STV and Neighbours on U& Drama

That’s an interesting one. I guess following this principle, the logical false destination would be Cupar.

Interesting. Are you sure it was in LT livery? As always I’ll be quite happy to be corrected, but if it’s the model I’m thinking of, I thought it was usually only available in orange or in a Yellow Pages livery. Do you possibly have a link? 1786999944 Looks like I was wrong. I didn’t realise...

That sounds like it was almost certainly the Matchbox Silver Jubilee model of a London Transport Daimler Fleetline dubbed ‘the Londoner’.

I haven't read through the entire thread so it may have already been mentioned but if you can catch a 101 from Chatham to Maidstone on a sunny day, you get a lovely view of the Weald of Kent as it thunders down Blue Bell Hill

I cant be the only person to have done something like this. I recently purchased the new Atlas and I was yellow penning in the track I’ve done. But of course the pages are different in the 18th version so that makes it more tricky to get it absolutely correct. I found that I’d accidentally...

Very well done indeed. I started track bashing in 1990. If I were to pin it down to a specific date, it would be April 12th. Probably a bit too half heartedly as I still have huge amounts to do. Particularly in Wales and western Scotland.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there are any stop signals in the tunnel between Stratford and Dagenham? Presumably if trains were to become more frequent on HS1, then at least one stop signal would have to be installed to increase capacity between Ebbsfleet and Stratford?

Hawkwind. Church of Hawkwind

Adam Ant. Wonderful

I wouldn’t read too much into that. the driver trainer probably just fancied going somewhere different. I can remember back in 1990 seeing a Southend Transport driver trainer bus in Melbourne Farm Estate in Chelmsford. It was their Leyland Titan PD2 or PD3

Mostly Autumn. Passengers

Its actually going to help me out as I’ll have a direct bus pretty much from my doorstep to Bealieu Park station

Most of those are improvement, but unless I’ve misread the forthcoming changes, North Springfield will lose its fast service to the city centre via the Chelmer Valley Road and ARU. Also I do think FE should amalgamate the C1 and 170 given the large overlap that the routes have.

I’ve just remembered. Back in February I did an Avanti service Euston to Chester. It was a positioning move so I could clear the Chester to Stockport line. i also did Altringham to Bury on the Metrolink that day to clear the Altringham line.
