It would be too much short notice for Grand Central and Hull trains. A lot has to be taken into consideration. For example Hull trains need a driver change at Grantham as he would be out of hours in terms of driving going around via Cambridge. Same for Grand Central not sure where they change...
Not sure how i would have acted if i was on the train. Either laugh or cry i suppose. If i was the guard i would laugh, yeah thats bad but i've got that kind of humour. I'm being payed and my trains late "due to a mouse" you've got to laugh.
I'm still laughing now and i first heard this over...
Yes you read that correct a mouse has managed to stop the most WCML around Lancaster. Delays / Cancellations were the result and many football fans missed their football match (blessing in disguise you could say). How in the name of everything can a mouse cause so many problems. How long have...
I think coastal connect has a good chance.

Times need ironing out a bit like.
For some reason i carn't get the Class 166 Turbostar to go more than 50MPH on railworks. Any idea's why this might be people ? It is on full power by the way !
Also how do you set the route up for the train to go on view 9 (the 2d map).
Finally if i download a train pack of...
Off course this might just been down to the fact that i've been really busy at work recently and not had time to think about trains never mind go on them or watch them. I've read my train mags each week but never seem to find anything interesting in them. I'll still go and meet varies people who...
Is it just me or are railways really boring at the moment?
Over the last 4 mounths or so i've totally lost interest in trains / railways. Bit of a problem as i'm due to start conductor job next year (apparently Long story). Its got to the point where i'm really not bothered if i get the job...
Yeah thats what too many people think. Your not the only one who thinks that so i see where your coming from. If you can get hold of a copy of the "the big bible on ticket and pass restrictions" go look in there. I had a look of a mate's who's a RPI. The RPI must report the PRIV pass staff...
Well he certainly wouldn't not have got my PRIV pass, would have argued to the point till blue in the face. You were in the right its up to them to prove otherwise. Not go on the basis of ooh i've got a gut feeling the pass is invaild. No that will not do. Anyway RPA staff are not allowed to...
Oh i see 91107, just there was a lad took the same shot around the same time as i did. There was a quick "areet" between us, thought it might have been you. I took the same pic on my camera.
Was anyone else playing the jump off and then back on at every station game. There were a few of us...
Well its something you'll never see again. I waited at Mumps for a special diesel thinking it was gonna be a 37 or something, a 156 with a headboard turns up. Not amused. Glad i got some pics of mumps before they knock it down like. Still waiting like half an hour or more. 156 indeed. Its a...
On the side of the ECML someone wrote. "If you can read this your train is going to slow and you be late, haha". I thought that was brill i really did. Like to shake that mans hand as he was spot on.
The fact that Grand Central is expanding seriously worries me. Grand Central going to be the future of the ECML. God help us all if it gets the Harrogate service contract. Love how there is a Sunderland vacancy at the bottom. Only been going a few year and already someone wants out!
