I'm expecting a Trix Class 83. Anyone know what they are like; were they good models for their time?

People will pay whatever they think is good value/good quality etc, even if the price seems like a rip-off. I'd rather a coffee from Gail's or my local independent coffee shop than from Greggs. I even tend to avoid Costa now - I don't like their customer service and the fact that their...

I think we need a change in thread title given that there are at now at least 4 trains in the new GBR livery...

What was the point of introducing Cambridge-Brighton and/or Peterborough-Horsham anyway? The attraction of an increased frequency (at least through the core) quickly falls away if the Cambridge-Brighton's (in particular) get canned to try and keep resilience to the rest of the services. Why...

I know it's not BR but back then, trains were re-varnished/re-liveried as they fell due for overhaul. However, the application of, and even then liveries/identities now are not as simple as slapping on all over green or blue - or even blue & grey - plus the fact locos and carriages built within...

Did the inspector confiscate your father's freedom pass? How has your father managed to travel if this was the case?

I think bus companies should have safeguarding in place and a duty of care to prevent young (vulnerable) children being abandoned alone

No idea I'm afraid but rail record shows it being operated by Colas Rail if that's of any use

Not to us it isn't. On 2 very separate occasions, my wife and I had our card details stolen even though we assumed at the time, ebay didn't store them. Then on another occasion, my wife had her account hacked
