Just been through to the ticket page again....crashed again......unless the Crewe APT has been resurrected and is making an appearance and they've just introduced Oasis-style dynamic ticketing/pricing. Nightmare!

Maybe they’ll all be joined together with two APT front ends and taken to the Old Dalby Test Track for a Michael Portillo special.

Southern! I do apologise..not been a good start this morning!

‘Driving cars were taken by road from GLASGOW Works to JR Adam & Son for scrapping. The centre car was taken by road to Long Marston, where it is understood it will be used for R&D purposes’. - apologies for the unit mix up in the last comment. Maybe Southeastern are looking to turn it into a...

Apparently the middle coach of 204 is being used for research and development purposes according to this month’s Railway Magazine....

Sadly it appears that this forum thread may be in last week of service too gentlemen! I did my last run on 202 last week, sorry to have missed 216 today. I can’t fathom the idiocy of folk taking things from the train...safety issue first and foremost! Enjoy the tour on Wednesday

Morning all, popped over to the Caley Tesco earlier this morning. No sign of 203 in the forlorn looking yard but rather a long road-haulage hearse was parked ominously outside the sheds.What about the previous discussion regarding a reprint of one of the units? Time is running out...

Wonder where 203 is lurking these days? I've given a half a thought to it being quietly repainted into 'Intercity Swallow' to commemorate it's final few months in service...

Any likely to be running from Moorgate on Thursday? We're currently enacting a prolonged goodbye to the 314's up north...

Are there likely to be any 313s in service on the Moorgate branch in October? We're sadly waving goodbye to the 314s up north...

Thanks for the heads up. How many units are being stored over at Yoker now? The rest of class still in service may see it out until December....

Apologies! We’re not quite there with the Juniper farewell tour just yet gentlemen!

I recall the introduction of the 334s on the Inverclyde and Ayr runs circa 2002/3. Anyone remember the vivid SPT livery? Decent units if memory serves me correctly.

I’m in agreement with the tight squeezing at the stalls, but an excellent day all round. It was great to pop over to the heritage centre too - the reclining seats in the APT were reason enough not to mothball what would have been a fantastic piece of engineering. I got chatting to a someone who...

Apologies if I got in the way of anyone’s picture! What a busy afternoon, well worth it. Anyone take the Routemaster over to the heritage centre?
