Could someone help me identify what was at Leicester shed today, and also Derby R.T.C please.. Many thanks

The 40 is 40016, I am ashamed to say I will have to have a look at the 46.. i am pretty sure its 46019.

I dragged my mum there once when I was about 13, on a rare visit to London. As a 13 year old it seemed like the most amazing place. I think I bought some depot stickers! I had more fun at Swindon Works. I saved my pennies and bought two flamecuts, a 46 and a 40, I spoke to a really lovely...

On the subject of St James Park, I was wondering why South West Trains services don't stop there for matchdays?

Thanks, I have already found that, was hoping for a bit of news on allocations by now!!

Im sure this has been posted already and I missed it but is there any indication of the WTT for this event yet?

assuming the true South West starts at the Somerset border how is Plymouth a gateway? And what industry? Absolutely agree that maintaining a rail link into West Devon and Cornwall but the pro Plymouth brigade seem to have put a Disneyesque spin on the city.. The fact that the airport couldn't...

How exactly is Plymouth so important? No doubt that a rail service HAS to be maintained into West Devon and Cornwall, no disputing the massive blow to this region by the line being closed but comparing Plymouth to somewhere like Manchester as a previous commentator did is crazy... very little...

Very true..

what a legend.. well said.. The only bit of that i would question is the true cost to our region.. you have to remember its not just about ticket sales.. the knock on for local business is huge.. and hard to put into a true figure... you have to take into account everything from the lost...
