    Trivia: Stations scheduled to have all platforms occupied at once

    High Wycombe regularly has all three platforms occupied. I remember years ago a morning peak service used to cross and pass to London "wrong way" up platform 2 to London while a service sat on platform 3.

    Help identifying cigarette cards

    hi all, wondering if anyone can shed any light on the cards attached? they were in with a larger batch of cigarrete cards I bought and I can find no evidence of anything similar online. The backs are plain card so no identifiers there and they are pretty poorly cut so could always be DIY jobs...

    Trivia: Stations where a platform has been built on the actual site of a ex running line (e.g. fom previous rationalisation/singling)

    Denham? now that the northbound platform is an island between the two running lines that would put it over the old 4 track alignment.(I'm sure it was 4 in the past, prepared to be wrong though?)

    Trainspotting Rules

    have to have seen it yourself to log it but I have to say I get great satisfaction from doing detective work to find numbers I may have missed. I remember being on a service between Sheffield and Doncaster and a light engine class 20 in green livery passed in the opposite direction. I scoured...
