Can’t click to expand your image but is it an STVA car carrier wagon?

Saw it today. Short term I’ve heard though.

Did you write the Wikipedia entries because this reply makes about as much sense as they do.

While looking up some info on Wikipedia about Exeter St Davids/Central, I noticed some very conflicting stats, which left me quite confused; 'Exeter St Davids is the second busiest station in Devon, handling around 2,605,166 passengers a year in 2016/17. This is just behind nearby Exeter...

I can see what you mean by unfairly. I can name way more freight yards that are openly accessible than aren’t. People ride motorbikes and shoot rabbits around the wagons at Cardiff Tidal. Swansea Burrows is the same. And dozens with open access from farmland with only a small wall or livestock...

Google it and a link comes up from this forum, it’s been discussed already. Posted the link but seems to be awaiting approval.

So if I go to McDonald’s and I don’t get out of the car does that mean I haven’t been? Besides, Geoff from ‘all the ststions’ And his partner / team do have a rule about stepping out of the train for a certain period of time if I remember correctly. He’s a very well known railway celebrity and...
