    Station overcrowding and trains coming through at speed

    100% Agree! Watch passengers on P2/P3 suddenly get the fright of their lives when a HST blasts through! :)

    I believe it is 40mph for platforms 1 - 10 and 25mph for platforms 11 - 14.

    Awful decision to call off Reading vs Fulham tonight. Admittedly the fog was bad during the first half but had completely cleared at half time when the decision had been made. Good thing that neither team had taken the lead!

    Great Western Electrification Progress

    Thanks for the info. It will be strange to see EMUs through Slough as I have grown up with the noise of the turbos and the ear deafening sounds of HSTs. Any idea when Reading to Maidenhead is due to be complete?

    Great Western Electrification Progress

    I'm sure I saw wires up at Slough station this evening, although it was dark so could be wrong? Am I right in thinking that Heathrow Junc to Maidenhead is due to be finished by May 2017?

    Well Homer Simpson has got himself a new job then! This makes Brexit look more like a bit of air turbulence now!

    http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36587619 Not sure how well known Eamonn is to the forum but he was a wonderful coach and a kind person. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and his knowledge of football was amazing. Without him the likes of Shane Long & Gylfi Sigurdsson would not be the...

    Network Railcard

    A bit of a random question. If I purchased a Network Railcard could I use it for just myself or would I have to travel with another person? I'm asking as I was looking between Slough and Reading which were not showing discounted fares on the GWR app. I'm not entirely sure of the railcard but...

    Football

    Moyes did really well with Preston and nearly got them promoted before he left for Everton. I'd be happy with him in the championship. It is sad watching Villa's demise, the supporters deserve so much better. I remember O'Neil's team absolutely destroying Reading in the FA Cup a few years ago...

    Class 387

    Thanks. Haven't had the chance to ride a 387 yet, are they any different to a 377 bar the maximum speed increase?

    Does anyone know the current 387 diagrams for Thameslink or are they the same as before Dec 15?

    Printing tickets at home

    You can do for certain tickets, I have bought Advance tickets on East Midlands Trains before and printed at home though I am not sure for on the day tickets but can't see why this would be a problem.

    London Midland to be broken up?

    So what you are saying is that everyone should pay VT's high prices? I don't think that would go down too well with the passengers who are already paying over inflated prices!!! The 4 car services are being lengthened to 8 cars in the current LM franchise am I right? Surely this should be a...

    Fair enough I thought there was a 80mph TSR on the northbound fast line but must have been removed.
