    Train Noise heard a long way from the line

    I live about 20m from a line. Most things passing are the T&W metro services so you can barely hear it. But you do hear the lovely 142s passing and the Grand Central trains. And every so often a nice freight train :D

    Tyne And Wear Metro The Musical

    Thats a nice photo of 140001, the whole photo is really quite atmospheric :) And looking at other photos on his flickr stream its so odd to see Sunderland station with natural light haha! I only remember it being brick wall with bird poo on, much like now really haha

    Tyne And Wear Metro The Musical

    Being only 18 I only have very vague memories of using heavy rail from seaburn before my Mam got a car. It would be nice if any of you guys have photos of seaburn station before it was all 'metroed' to share!

    ECML Significant Disruption

    I'm currently on the 1730 east coast service from Edinburgh. It is going to terminate at Newcastle. I was meant to be on the 1705 xcountry to Birmingham but thankfully I'm only going to Newcastle.

    West Midlands Ranger Where To Go

    I bought a different day ranger today at 8:43. So it obviously is possible, maybe it is the staff making you wait? :/
