    Scum Class - Top Gear 'train'

    After seeing Top Gear, (the one with a train made up of caravans) I seen they had a Scum Class coach at the back. If this was an option on all mainline trains who would you put in Scum Class? I would put all drunks and noisey, shoutey mobile phone people in it.

    My idea for Branch line cost savings.

    In some parts of the country trains exist on some branch lines that are more like busses and have done for many years. Would it not make sense to tarmac over all of the lightly used branch lines and use busses on them, the cost saving on infrastructure and staffing would be vast and if the...

    Nicest Looking Modern Traction

    I like the look of 379s it is a shame there are not more of them. On you tube there is a really funny clip of a 379 being chatted up by a complete dunderhead on the west anglia line.

    Having looked online for a ticket price for a simple return journey from Dovercourt to Chelmsford I was amazed by how many different prices dependant on time, railcard, class, if there is a werewolf drinking diesel in sainsbury's etc, why not simplify the whole thing so as to make it less...
