I hate seat reservations. I once boarded a 3 car 185 at Piccadilly and almost every single seat on the train was reserved. I did take one of the unoccupied reserved seats after the train had departed. I thought, well that's not great. I have had reserved seats myself on long distance. I ended...

I didn't even realise 150204 had left NL. What 150/2s are left at NL?

Any 150 swaps this week?

British English is just so inconsistent. It's just the way it is.
