Curve around the back of Gateshead next to the Sage on approach to the High level bridge got to be one of the worst. FtrlZlTUR-Q

Skyfall set ran 1E25 to london on this sunday evening, just had insider information that the set will be stripped of its livery and return to EC Silver (as of 13th may 2013) when spending the night at Bounds green. I hope everyone got there shots and videos ;)

I haven't seen the formation on Tuesday but a friend reported they had seen it. The formation currently stands as ... 43319 Powercar 41062 M 1st 41154 L 1st 40732 G 1st 42125 F Std 42335 G Std 42123 E Std 42354 S Std 41190 S 1st 44073 B Std 43257...

Definitely my favourite the series, This one has been allot more informative loved the bits in craigentinny depot showing how they maintain the HST powercars and all that behind the scenes work we dont usually see. Good to see a few familiar faces in the programme from East Coast, well done BBC...

Seen this often on East Coast with the HSTs and Electra's cab doors. Now looking back it is seen in allot of my youtube videos with the door open, I understand on hot days it is an exception to have the cab door open gets pretty hot in there.

Favourite DMU has to the Class 156, comfy, quick and simple cant go wrong with that. As for coaching stock it has to be the MK3 coach for me. Quiet, comfortable, smooth ride and its a tough but simple design. Cant compare it to anything else really its just a fantastic piece of kit even better...

Heard this one from a few Guards ... "Attention all passengers they will now be a routine ticket inspection please have your tickets, passes and good excuses at the ready please "

Iam Expecting an EMT HST set to be hired in again, nicking them HSTs again lol But it would be nice to see a 90 pulling a MK4 set.

Ahaha its finally popped up, Ive got a friend who works at East Coast telling me about the BBC Crew filming, you will Probably see her on the programme, anyway I hope its good recent BBC Railway programmes have been very interesting :)

But the funny thing was she was after a Northern train :lol:

"Which platform has unreserved trains " This young woman asked me at Newcastle central station earlier this Month.

Thank you all again, learn something new everyday as they say well I now know for future travelling and bashing no messing about in the first class vestibules, unless your travelling first class of course ;) thank you again.

This photo was taken in Coach M behind the powercar far end of the train.

Thank you for all your responses everyone, I still Dont know the situation on this First class boundary but it really does seem on the discretion of the guard at the end of the day, plus the way the sign is worded doesn't help at all, anyway Iam sure we will know in the future ;)

We all know how much nexus has screwed this up but this makes for an interesting read.
