Perhaps not to most peoples taste but it has got a train theme!

If it does ends up being scrapped maybe the cab could be donated to that place in South Wales?

It actually half make sense, Station Staff didn’t give the best explanation…

At Brighton. Why would a NOT Gatwick Express ticket not be valid on this??!

Thanks. Yes, I’d forgotten it was Goodwood last weekend. First time I’ve seen one, pretty impressive.

I’m sure a just saw a P38 fly along the coast at Brighton (they’re pretty distinctive!). Does anyone know any details, a quick search doesn’t show any UK airworthy ones?

Hi, The Brighton Argus is reporting a temporary suspension of through off peak trains from Brighton to London Victoria. Could this see a change to GTR ticket acceptance? https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/18207672.no-off-peak-brighton-victoria-trains---travellers-face-massive-price-hike/

Thanks for the advice. I need to be a bit flexible with departure times on the return so not using Advances. Will definitely look at going via Moor St in the future, even if just for a change of view!

I'm travelling from Brighton to Beverley on 23/12/18, returning 28/12/18. For a change, I'm thinking of going via Tamworth, splitting at Sheffield. There's a £48.20 off peak return from Brighton to Tamworth (Southern and West Midlands only) but National Rail only finds a sole 09:27 departure at...

Sorry, it's Platform 8, the wooden one used mainly by east coastway services (replaced by buses today). I doubt it's moving anywhere soon as there's also a 313 and another unit seemingly stabled in the same platform.

There’s a Gat-Ex 387 in platform 9 at Brighton with sheets/paper over the windows. As there’s an elf and a snowman on the platform I’m guessing it’s Xmas related... Anyone know what’s going on?

Is there a reason the Irish system adopted a broader gauge? Ive heard it was simply an average of alternatives already in use.

Thanks for the suggestions. Like the idea of the circular trip via Lidlington, quite a bit of variety. Also looking at Kennet day ranger from Reading.

Good call. Looking at a split at Salisbury to somewhere nice but it takes for ever to get there! Gonna aim for the GWML if possible.
