Hi Paul, I just thought I'd mention that I'll be away from tomorrow to the 28th and without an internet connection, so I will thus be off the forum, if anyone asks.
Thanks Paul. Thought i would join sinc. e i have been browsing for a
while. My name is Chris by the way. Dont know if ive replied twice but apologisr if i have, still learning the site.
Hello there Paul, it would indeed - I had a semi-consistent phase of photo updates and the like, but perhaps as the Metrolink upgrades have gathered pace I've struggled to keep up. I don't post so much anymore (since there's always someone else first to grab a scoop!), but still observe the goings-on. I imagine my time here will be similarly spent, with the odd accidental sighting, impulsive photographic haul or tentatively-tabled opinion. And every now and then, I may actually dare to post about them!
Considering just how comprehensive this site is (and no doubt helped by your stewardship), I couldn't resist signing up. Despite having neither the lineage nor the career path befitting a forum regular, I like to follow the day-to-day railway picture. And may the following continue.

Thanks, (and sorry for the late reply!). I don't remember seeing many but then again until recently there wasn't a lot for us to add to the conversation as obviously this was a fairly bottom of the pile conversation before the Dawlish incident.
Hey Paul, how do I go about starting a new thread in a particular section of the forum? It really doesn't seem that straight forward. Ha ha. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Paul. Many thanks for you welcome, much appreciated. Loved the 304's, takes me back to my younger days, along with the occasional 303 operating the route. Probably one of the first classes I went on in to Lime Street.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
