So no reference to Wales then - perhaps we'll have our own livery?

Hi, yes that sounds and looks like a good idea - love the user name by the way! :D one of my faves from Ebbw Jct

Yes, done this in the past - that's on my plan!

Have these been announced yet? If there are any.... Thanks

oooh, that sounds like fun! We have ths 756's in south wales but they would not be as fast as that!

So, I'm embarking on an all-line later this year and was thinking about what I wanted to cover off - a few suggestions I have are below, but I was wondering if anyone has anything else they think might be worth covering.... GWR Sleeper Caledonian Sleeper TfW 67's Marches Line Chiltern 68's GWR...

I've seen that Amtrak do a similar ticket to interail - 10 sections for $500 in 30 days. I was wondering what the best value for money route to take would be? I presume using some of the longer journeys such as California Zephyr, Coast Starlight & Silver Meteor would be the ones to go for.

For scotland you could do: Glasgow - Mallaig - ferry to skye, taxi to Kyle of Lochalsh then to inverness. Thats probably one day in itself - obviously the far north line is just up and down.

Saturday 8th of June. 6B47 through St Fagans about 2000 - 2 x 66 - top and tail - one was freight liner green. Many Thanks

On your last email you haven't mentioned the fact you've now bought a valid oyster card - you should mention this as it shows that you still want to use their service and are will to pay the appropriate price. I used to fare dodge back in the 80's and got caught once - Transport Police called...

Thanks - that makes sense!
