Last year the 802/1 that was supposed to run between Paignton and Plymouth was cancelled! We had to get a turbo to Newton and then XC to Plymouth. Obviously took a lot longer as 9 car vs 3 car would have clearly sucked a lot of the passengers up!

It happens to me if I am on 80x on GWR but only if on the juice. If it's diesel it doesn't do it.

Back in 2011 though they rigged up a temporary compressor in 221144 (was in the main part of passenger saioon), when it was first made a two car unit so it could move under its own power around Central Rivers for a charity event.

Another great set of reports. Especially enjoyed your latest Scottish exploits!

Don't go on here very often anymore but I did enjoy reading those trip reports.

In the main I love catching the train and I would love to catch the train more but as others have pointed out the cost is prohibitive at times. I drive to work (60 miles round trip each day) and it used to cost me roughly £10 a day in fuel. I have a Devon and Cornwall railcard and when I was on...

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that! GWR seem to be getting a lot of stick for quite frankly is none of their doing unless I am wrong. Did the Government not dictate the specs (yes the seats included) of the trains? Hitachi maintain them? GWR just run them? They can only run what...

Sorry to be a pain. What about these 465s please? Not sure if any of these ones ended up in storage. Thanks 465015 465155 465172 1676895166 Thanks for looking

Ah. Thanks.

Afternoon all. Could some have a look to see whether 377104 and 377421 are out please. Thanks

The 0850 off PNZ might well be a valid train. If it's the first train, an off peak day return is valid on then the rover is valid.

The rail prices in Cornwall (and Devon) are actually pretty good I feel. Especially if you have a Devon and Cornwall Railcard which anyone who lives there is entitled too. I go to work on the train if I am working a late shift and it only costs me £5.80 return from Plymouth to Torre (74 miles...

Once you've gone wireless for earphones you can't look back!! Sounds like a relaxing positioning move day.

Well done clearing the Northern 769s.

The M49 was built to link the M5 to the M4 further south. Mid 90s. You definitely need one of those mounts for your phone. Will help with your navigation.
