Due to an imminent retirement the Isle of Wight Steam Railway is seeking to appoint a full time Operating Manager. Details here: - https://iwsteamrailway.co.uk/job/operating-manager/ Extract from the web page: - Our Operating Department looks after the safe operation of all trains on the...

Given that the objective appears to be to get those who don't currently use buses to give them a try, the lack of any publicity here in the Medway towns is nonsensical.

I know that they are now planning a different route, but if they go by Thameslink on another occasion change at Gillingham or Chatham on the putward journey to make use of the same platform interchange rather than using the stairs only bridge or very long walk at Rainham. I live in Rainham and...

My bus pass, issued by Medway, is only valid in England and not one centimetre into Wales or Scotland. It does work from 0900 for journeys starting in Medway. Although not very well publicised, there is a local arrangement for Kent, Thurrock & Medway pass holders to use it at any time of day on...

These plastic sleepers use 100% recycled plastic so are a better bet than burning it.

The seats are not well aligned to the windows today. Do we know that they are increasing the density or reducing the pitch?

Medway to & from HS1 goes down to hourly all day. I just hope they put on 12 car trains otherwise it'll often be crush loading.

There have been at least two coach operators who tried direct Medway towns - Gatwick services. Both failed after a few months due to lack of demand which suggests that a direct train service, particularly if starting from Strood, wouldn't succeed commercially. The reality is that a same level...

If the 777s ever enter service there will be plenty of 507s and 508s available.

The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is closing for the day on the 19th.

I suggest that it would be better if the link from the forum pages opened in a new window by default. I also note that clicking on the forum header on the "tickets" keeps you on the tickets site and doesn't return to the forum site. Is this the design intent?

Thanks

Any news on where they went or which haulier took them out?

Newhaven - Dieppe by DFDS seem to accept bookings for foot passengers, but I haven't used it for 40 years so I can't speak from experience.

Very sad. Before my retirement I visited China regularly on business and was impressed by the domestic airlines and airports. On time, clean, efficient and looked very safe. The in flight meals were a challenge for a westerner, however.

Readers like that are helpful for users like me who come up from Kent on a paper single or return and want to continue on DLR/Underground.

In reality have done it before. They did it fairly quickly after decimalisation when everything older, apart from QE2 £1 stamps, was demonetised. What I think is troubling them now is that they have an obligation to accept all stamps from 1971 onwards (Plus a few earlier £1 stamps) at the same...

What I have read (I can't find a quote right now) is that Royal Mail's indention was to invalidate all "definitive" and "Christmas" stamps without barcodes at the end of January but that they have relented on Christmas stamps. So this should mean that all the decimal money commemoratives will...

Would a mixed train with unfitted goods stock have had two guards?
