There was plenty of space on the 20.02. We moved coaches as some football fans got on who unfortunately were shouting over a tannoy dedicating the train to someone, so we missed that and me and my lad didn't fancy listening to their "French" all the way back. There was quite a queue to get on...

Do Freight Operators pay to have a path and it's immaterial whether they run trains or not, unlike passenger operators who I believe have to run a service to keep the service? An example is this one, which I think I've only seen run once with a 92 and that was probably 6-7 years ago, but is...

Daventry...?

A month or so ago when staying in Hayle, we got the train to St Erth to go to St Ives. On the return from St Erth, a HST turned up, instead of what I expected it would be, like a 156? or suchlike, so me and my 8 Yr old lad walked down the train to look at the First Class coaches and test out the...

Are Whistle Boards still a thing and religiously adhered to, as there's a foot crossing near me, but not all trains sound their horn?

Thanks for that as even my Mrs said it wasn't 'proper' so she does take notice. Thanks again.

Thanks for the clarification. He was telling me it was a 59, so I knew that afternoon spent with his female friend has affected his judgement and my Mrs says a train is a train. Yes you're right that it's usually a GBRF blue 66. Thanks again and I'll leave this thread before embarrassing myself...

First time request on this thread. My 8 yr old boy said it wasn't proper on the empty car train (the usual red 66) when him and the Mrs took the dogs out! 20/08/18 6L48 (Assuming thats not the Mickey Mouse code) Garston Car Terminal Gbrf - Dagenham Dock Gbrf...

You are correct, however the sign outside said car park said "FULL" so that was a no no. Also there is a notice at St Erth that says regarding improving punctuality, certain services don't stop at Lelant Saltings or Carbis Bay.

If the tickets are booked with a match ticket then could the train companies just honour them on presentation of them both? I had the pleasure of a game being moved to a Sunday last season so had to buy a second ticket. Made use of the first...great day out at the park in Stoke on Trent !!!

Currently staying in Hayle and the train service isn't great as I missed the 12.34 and would have been two hours before the next service to St Erth so just drove to Carbis Bay. However Hayle only has a car park for a dozen or so cars and you'd need to build a car park somewhere. There is some...

What is the current Pendolino First Class catering like at the minute? Wondering of the cost is worth it.

Disruption due to welfare incident?

I also recommend a Family and Friends Railcard to cut the cost of travel. We get ours with our Tesco Clubcard points. We recoup the cost within then first journey.

Thought there would have been a contingency 47 or 57 at Southall WCR?
