What has my opinion got to do with you?

Any train rebuilt from D78 stock is cheap in my view and I don't need to go inside one to have the opinion that it is second hand.

I had the misfortune to view the cheap crate 230003 on Friday in platform 1a on Friday afternoon which is the first one I have seen and I really wish I hadn't. Easy to believe it was in service viewing it in the correct platform at Bedford for Bletchley bound passengers.

That is not correct in the case of Fiona Bruce. If you have read any of her interviews, she sees herself as a journalist and she makes it her business to be involved in the editorial decisions in the newsroom when she is the presenter. She used to be a regular on the Ten but that has waned since...

Can anyone confirm what is on the 1230 Bristol TM to Pad and 1829 Swansea to Pad today? I believe this has been a HST but only on weekdays. Thank you.

Thanks. It will just be pot luck then as to what type of single decker produces on the day!

Thanks Robert. I would say the total is four as 20150 is currently sitting at Cupar on the 1847 42 to Ninewells Hospital.

Thanks I have to correct myself as it appears only two must have been caped as three of them sat in the sunshine in St Andrews for hours for birds to bask on top of them. I don't know what olys would be camped out at Aberhill. I was enjoying a curry in Dundee this evening when 16772 went by...

Do we know if St Andrews is down to just two Olympians now? It appears that 16172 is the last one at Dunfermline St Leonards. I know it is out of the area of this thread but does anyone know if the Arran B10s are to be replaced in the near future? Thanks

20342 is on the X37 / X40 circuit this morning. It is currently on the 0845 Kirkcaldy to Glenrothes.

Is 20342 still in service and is 16172 the last remaining Dunfermline oly? Three of St Andrews olys were due to be withdrawn recently did that happen? Thanks

Thanks for all your replies it does look anything other than straightforward. The reference I made to zone 3 comes from page 5 of the T in the Park city link page which has eight different zone categories for tickets and Edinburgh comes up as zone 3 but I don't understand the significance of...

Thanks for this info. I assume olys work up from Edinburgh and I would need a zone 3 ticket but you will have to excuse this southerner's ignorance knowing nothing of this event. The thought has occured to me that there might be a flaw to doing an oly to the entrance with just a travel only...

Thanks for the info regarding Arbroath and July events that should utilise olys. I assume however, that it will not be possible to travel on board any of the additional workings to Muirfield and Titp unless you have tickets for the events they serve and normal Stagecoach weekly tickets etc will...

Thanks for that info. Do we have a rough idea as to when the last two B7TL's enter service like middle or end of this month? It will be interesting to see what is used for Muirfield after TITP has finished.
