Yes, there a feature on the BBC local news this morning about the 150th anniversary - and they mentioned special fares at 150 pence for 150 years.

Just noticing this thread is still going, earlier today, I finally had chance to upload to YouTube a couple of videos I took whilst passing the scene last Thursday. The first shows the passenger evacuation taking place, with passengers being routed via a conveniently located staff access gate -...

Correct, 60 mph.

It already has. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:66832/2026-04-11/detailed#allox_id=1

The East Coast Class 67 Thunderbird locos visited Hitchin this morning to move the LNER set onto a wired road and are now running back to Newark via Cambridge. The 225 set will hopefully move tonight - back to Neville Hill under its own power, so no diversions off the usual route.

Funnily enough, I first spotted this feature at Leeds on the 31st of January, when I took a photo and sent it to a mate with the comment: "LNER polluting the departure boards at Leeds, wasting as much space as possible. Obviously, with 2 other people in the coach, I'd better make sure I don't...

When I arrived at Peterborough station on Friday at around 17:00, my train wasn't shown on the main departure boards, which caused some concern and confusion. I passed there again yesterday evening and discovered why - a train is stuck on one of the screens. I wonder how many days late the...

Thank you for taking the time to post this info. Having this gen readily available enabled me to head down to London for "one last ride", with a return from Waterloo to both Dorking and Hampton Court. Plenty of enthusiasts were riding and/or photographing them and a nice bonus was seeing the...

Another recent oddity at York, but not so visually comical, was on the 3rd of January, when I caught the 09:55 London service. It was running about 10 minutes late, but all of the station departure boards were showing it as expected much later than that. As I had a connection at Doncaster...
