319s ?

Thanks, I did know, It was a typo, honest ;)

Thanks to all, it was of course a Voyager from Crewe. Coach K was the carriage with the shop in it. I only noticed this time that the carriage letters are not fixed, sign said see electronic display or words to that effect. Good journey overall except the ticket gates on the underground...

Thanks but a bit confused here. It a standard class ticket so that would point to a Voyager 221/222?

Well I managed to collect my tickets from the booking office at Liverpool Lime Street today as planned. According to the reservation coupon Its a London Midland service out of Liverpool, Which I guess will actually be a LNW 350. On the second leg from Crewe 1356 (Virgin) I have been allocated...

Thanks Yorkie and AndrewNTH. It is an advance fare and was circa £30 cheaper then others. Even splitting didn't beat it this time. Not a problem as I have some free time tomorrow and a CDR New Brighton to Liverpool Stations is only £2.70 with my Disabled persons railcard discount, so will pop...

OK so I have booked my New Brighton to Brighton single via Scotrail (the ticket not the journey!). No TVM at New Brighton So how do I collect it? Journey is not until Friday so I could nip over to Liverpool tomorrow but wondered if there is a nearer TVM? Or can I collect at the Booking...

Umm, plans have suddenly changed so got to get there earlier for a earlier meeting but nevermind! Will look out for the 319's next time I'm in this area.

Hi, Going from New Brighton (NBN) to Brighton (BRN) in the next few days. I know quickest and probably cheapest is via Liverpool and Crewe but am in no rush and wanted to try and ride a Northern 319 and possibly a Pacer, (yes I know ;) ). Any sensible way of doing this on the way down to...

Hi, Wasn't sure where to post this one but here goes. Was on a 508 into Chester yestarday and as we were going over Chester North Junction, as well as the usual squeeling from underneath the unit the lights went on and off a few times. I assumed the unit lost contact with the third rail ...

Indeed, only recently I was stood at the barriers (it wasn't busy) trying to fish out my ticket, It was in my wallet where I keep my Highlabd Railcard. I had my bag on wheels with me and I walk with a stick, anyway the virgin trains chap cane over (I assume he was Virgin Trains as he he was in a...

Are you in a station? Could it be picking up from an adjacent unit ? Just a thought.

Yep just found it on YouTube.

Thanks. Regarding the ‘LB’ prefix, I was mistaken, sorry. Was probably half asleep as it had been a very long day! I remember now it was indeed ‘TL’. Thanks for pointing out it stands for Three Bridges ROC.

Hi, On signals in the London Bridge area, I noticed on Tuesday that the prefixes are ‘LB’ obviously London Bridge, but I’m sure I remembered previously they were a single ‘L’. Did I misremember? Also on one of them I noticed a white triangle. What does this mean please? Thanks!
