That was the sort of thing I had in mind TBH, but then I like pacers! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Not sure how well this works when Michael Palin has to tell the one off of Girls Aloud that he's found a very cheap deal on the Night Riviera but they're going to have to bunk...

Interesting. You are somewhat ruling yourself out by refusing to be televised however! The Night Riviera is a service train as well as a sleeper so it's easy. Just do it London > Reading or Penzance > Camborne or something. Extra points for TOC variety another way to discourage simple...

Possibly. The idea is embryonic ATM, and needs fleshing out. Many thanks for all the suggestions folks!

As long as it's not Ant and Dick. How about Pete Waterman? He could reprise his double act with Michaela Strachan from The Hit Man and Her. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Can just see Pete getting all excited as one of the contestants staggers off a massively delayed Night...

Longest through working I recall was Elgin > Penzance which was in the summer timetable in about 1984 or 1985. 3 loco changes and reversals along the route!

Huge points overload for doing Newhaven Marine!

Fashion points an interesting twist. No more basher chic and plenty of coloured jackets! Also difficult to keep clean while bashing so adding extra difficulty with the Rancidness Penalty system.

A Man of Steel move is attempting a connection of zero minutes or less.

Isn't sounding the horn enough to get the cows off the line?

OK, the GBBO it remains! ?????? I'm not sure if the Main Men of yesteryear would be equipped for the complexities of this TBH. Unless they've never stopped bashing they would find modern fares 'structures' baffling. Also you don't get points for bunking the fare; can't be encouraging that on...

Correct. The name is an issue as Television X is not the target audience!

Yes, the name needs some working on. The Great British Crank Off isn't much better either.

If television can make something as mundane as baking cakes into a competitive activity attracting millions of viewers then surely anything is possible. My idea is The Great British Bash Off. How it works is this. A number of competitors are given £250 each in cash and a credit account that...

Voyagers frighten the life out of anyone, especially those condemned to ride in a 220 out of Birmingham in the evening peak......

I'm using exactly that. This box is offered and you cannot select 'none of these': Sleeper groups and preferences Optional extras are available COMPLIMENTARY SEAT (free) CAL SLEEPER SEAT RES (free) CHILD BERTH FEE/RES (£20.90 extra) CALEDONIAN SOLO RES (£61.20 extra) On the Lowland...

No, by all means hijack away. It might mean they've fixed it at last. Need to go and check...... --- old post above --- --- new post below --- No, still not allowing beds to be booked unless you select either a child supplement or a solo supplement.

This has been going on since Tuesday now, and I have reported to ScotRail over the phone, twice via their Feedback Form (they have not responded), and via FaceBook. They have acknowledged that it is a known problem that they are 'working on'. If you try to book berths on the sleeper, instead...

Will electrification of the Springburn > Cumbernauld section and extension of the Dalmuir > Springburn service to Cumbernauld see the end of the diesel service from Queen St High Level? What about through services to Falkirk Grahamston?

Sounds it! Shame I couldn't get out on the Sunday but I used my 'cranking pass' on the Saturday and took the kids to see the bike race on the Sunday.

What route did the 20s take to Sheffield? Pudsey, Engine Shed, Kirkgate etc?
