There's a daytime pic at...

I've been looking into the magical 40 miles from the Shard. There's a viewpoint somewhere on Sheppey where someone's been able to snap the Shard from...

Just rolled out on ITV2, 3, 4.. (and with the return of ITV1).

I'm really puzzled by this too. I've been checking for a few weeks but still can't see any advance tickets for the next few Sundays. AWC's webchat agent assured me they're yet to be released, but even for this Sunday I can't see any.

Dunno.. it's easy for patience to wear thin when there are so many idiots about who ruin it for everyone else.

After many hours of processing by my home computer, my on-board highlights 360 video is finally ready. It's comprised of the legs between WGC and Hitchin East, and Moorgate and King's Cross via Ferme Park. It's also VR-safe for those of you with headsets.

I've posted a 360° video that I recorded yesterday from inside 313048, capturing the stretch between Harringay and Highbury & Islington in the daytime. On the approach to Finsbury Park, the driver makes an announcement about the last day of the 313s. Those with suitable headsets can also view...

Thanks for the drawing. That's explained it well. Is it a bad idea to leave rakes abandoned, then? No brakes? I think The 39 Steps got it right when he says it's the Edinburgh train which reverses onto the Glasgow one, rather than the other way round. I didn't notice us going backwards! :)...

I travelled on the Caledonian Sleeper back down from Glasgow the other night. Just a few questions, as I'd never been on it before.. 1) The train stopped at Carstairs. According to Wikipedia, this is where it couples with an Edinburgh-originated train. I expected this to be at the front of...
