Yep I agree Vi Trains are actually pretty good, great runners and a fairly accurate representation of the 37 and reasonably cheap the Bachman models are amazing though but they are a bit more expensive but well worth it! Bargains can be had though, so shop around!

Thanks for all that helpful info!

Can anyone tell me what time of day would be best for frequency of workings passing through Carlisle Station and which platform would be the best to photograph them. Thanks in advance!

Bit late sorry but they were indeed at Glasgow on Saurday. The consist was parked up next to the old Bridge Street Station Building near Glasgow Central. Caught me by surprise on my way into the city with my son but were great to see!

Oh how I laughed! The Daily Telegraph (Hayley Dixon) reports that Rail Minister Simon Burns shared the experience of millions of rail travellers yesterday morning, walking through cold empty streets to Chelmsford station, narrowly missing a train and then waiting 18 minutes for the next one...

They did however become very reliable at least from my point of view I certainly had more luck getting from A-B on my journeys on a 303 than in the 314's which ultimately replaced them on my line!

I'm not sure if it's OK to post a thread from another forum so Mods please delete if I can't. This is absolutely fascinating for someone living in the city! Hope others will be interested to! http://urbanglasgow.co.uk/Abandoned_Central_low_level_in_1967_about3419.html

I don't know what team you are referring to as I've never heard of the term glitterdome for any ground but I'm assuming it's the team I support who play in green and white hoops. I can assure you that I and I'm sure most of my fellow supporters do not want independence and are proud of being...

Absolute class!

Scotrail and Virgin are really good in my opinion!

If the amount of Union flags being waved and the large amount of booing of Alex Salmond got at the Olympic medal winners parade in Glasgow last week is anything to go by, the referendum will result in a No vote. Hopefully!

Definately not, far too small for that!

Thanks all, used this and it all makes sense now! http://www.scot-rail.co.uk/page/Headcodes+Explained Going to try and remember this Saturday and take the dog out a little later than usual to try and catch this! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Well the dog and I remembered...

During heavy rains in February 2010 I was on a VT home journey from Euston to Glasgow. Initially was put off the train at Preston as no trains going any further on the WCML because of the rain. Was on the platform speaking to my wife on the phone asking her to look into getting me a hotel room...
