    When is station road not station road

    Station Road in Earl Shilton actually led to Elmsthorpe station on the line between Hinckley and Narborough although the station closed years ago.

    Anglia Railways Logo

    I'm sure it is just coincidence. The original Anglia Television logo is similar to Anglia Railways, but the more recent (pre-ITV plc) logo was much removed. Original Anglia Television logo with Knight on a charger Anglia Television triangle logo Anglia Railways logo with yellow sun as...

    Transfer of LNER HST 125s to East Midlands Railway (EMR)

    I'm not sure why EMR won't tell people what the HSTs are operating when it's in the public domain anyway. (Image shows a screenshot from Twitter showing a conversation from a user asking EMR when the HSTs are running with EMR replying they can't issue that information)

    How busy have your trains been?

    I noticed a XC HST pass Dawlish earlier on towards Plymouth that was absolutely packed. Maybe people escaping for the Bank Holiday?

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I think that this is classed as "corkage" and CS can make a charge for this but obviously don't. This also applies to a lot of other TOCs. I think Virgin Trains (West Coast)'s alcohol licences were held in the Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council area whilst Virgin Trains (CrossCountry)'s were...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    The Caledonian Sleeper alcohol licence is issued by Aberdeen City Council. I remember when they applied for it notices were placed around Aberdeen Station about it. Under Scottish Law at present it is illegal to serve alcohol indoors (and only outdoors until 10pm) therefore the CS has to comply...

    How busy have your trains been?

    Thameslink service just after 0830 this morning between Brighton and East Croydon quite busy, but possibly due to Southern cancelling trains to Victoria due to a signal failure at Three Bridges. Southern service at 1048 from East Croydon to Clapham Junction very busy - about 75% of all seats...
