Or one of them is permanently stuck up there. Would neatly explain why every time Trump farts, Farage whistles. 1787164047 Do they make handcuffs the size of buffalo's hoofs?

Good lord, being stuck on an Azuma that long would have me wearing a groove in the carpet/floor from having to give my backside a break from those bloody awful seats.

Getting into Via Rail/Amtrak lengths of delay there!

Will never be trusted again, not in my lifetime for sure. Well, he did side with Putin over his own intellegence agencies over Russian interference in the 2016 election during his first term and his admiration of dictators/strongmen is his best known quality barring his being a deranged &...

Whelp, the 17 is more trouble than it's worth for me heading out tonight (the 17:05 is the one I was aiming for), so First Glasgow & ScotRail are likely to get my business again: It's all well and good having modern and on the whole well-presented Volvo/MCVs running the bulk of your core...

318269 & 318270 keeping each other company on the Argyle Line today, just had them from Argyle Street to Clydebank on 2F21 from Cumbernauld.

Similar list again today for both the 15 and 17. I didn't know things were so bad as to warrant such a service reduction, but I'm not entirely surprised either. Increasingly beginning to think that them taking the X19 on the way they have (taking on all the operational expenditures while...

This is specifically between the Balgraystone Rd & Springhill Rd bridges, west of the Balgray station site.

This total unwillingness or just flat out inabilty for the powers that be to properly sort it out is why the WCML is never the first option for me for cross-border travel at the weekends regardless if it's land or air-based. I understand that this is a specific case and of course won't apply...

If I were one of those homeowners and if they had the nerve to do that while I was at home to see them at it, I'd tear them right back down and throw them into a bonfire right in front of those meat-heads; see if they dare try and stop me from exercising my rights as a homeowner in disposing of...

It wasn't unknown to see 2 456s working in multiple with a 455 on both the Southern and South Western to form a 8-car train: https://www.flickr.com/photos/60539035@N02/50601164601 Having 456s strung together on their own with no 455 in sight wasn't unheard of either to form at most a 6-car...

These early-morning diagrams (1G01 & 1G08) can see either a 318 and/or 320 as both classes are treated as one fleet.

Perhaps I did understate just how woeful it's really been and the outright denial that's coming out of ScR over this, just a little. My fault for not seeing that. Guess that's what happens when you're a bloody-minded luddiite like me who rarely if ever uses digital ticketing sites, but then...

"But even before it began, he knew that this visit to the Clacton peninsula will be a fleeting one as he lives in perpetual fear of coming into prolonged contact with, as he sees them, the great unwashed that consistute the general public who will likely see him for what he truly is under the...

390055 undertook a late-night trial run in March 2012 - so during the East Coast era and around about when the additional sets and extra carriages were being built - from Edinburgh to King's Cross under the 5Z10 headcode. Was done to test the type's suitabilty on the ECML iirc.
