    Euston Virgin Drivers Commuting from Milton Keynes

    I used the 05.13 (05.11 as it then was) from Watford for a while. It always stopped at Queens Park, where a couple of guys (LU, I suppose) would get off every day. I guess the 03.30 ex MK may well also stop there? Not shown as a stop on RTT though.

    Is NR being privatised by stealth by Grayling?

    I wonder if it was used for the distribution of Royal Mail postage stamps, which I believe used to be produced on the HH industrial estate?

    Train company branding: "Trains" vs "Railways"

    It certainly doesn’t matter. Consider British Airways/American Airlines; United Airlines/Cathay Pacific Airways. And so on....

    05.11 LM service Watford Junc to Euston (not DC line)

    I haven’t used this service since the change of ToC. However, every weekday it always stopped at the mainline platform at Queens Park and a couple of guys would get off. Easy to figure out why, but I could not find the stop listed on RTT - not even in the WTT. It was shown on RTT as “pass”...
