Pardon my ignorance but what exactly does 6K03 mean? I assume it's the code for the working but grateful for some clarity! Cheers!

Anyone from the Glasgow area know what the freight working is that goes along the Glasgow/Newton line round about midnight on a Saturday. I can hear it and always plan to head to my local station at Kingspark to see what it is but by the time the next Saturday arrives I've forgotten until I hear...

Nothing about this on the DFT's own site so grateful if you could confirm where this info has come from! Cheers

I agree and as for the single statement that's rubbish! The majority of enthusiasts/spotters I know are attached. I for one have been in relationships since I was about 16, currently been married for 20 years and have two children!

Wish I'd known a girl like you 30 years ago! lol! Took me to 35 to meet a woman who shared my interest in Railways! Welcome to the forums! :)

Wow starting on a Glasgow local holiday! Nae luck! lol! Good luck though!

Duh! I thought it was June! lol! Ok I'm going! Thanks for setting me right!

It does although the loco is a lot more stylised on mine!

Surely it would have been better to have such an event over a weekend, not everyone can get time off during the week! Would have loved to have gone but couldn't!

Was round at my big sister's house which at one time was the house I grew up in for a visit and she gave me a badge that was discovered under the floor boards when a few were being renewed. It's a lovely badge from The Hornby Railway Company! Does anyone know what this was? Was it a badge for...

Erm, Scotland is in Blighty! lol!

They've just shot through Croftfoot station heading towards Newton! Bummer that I'm in bed and only heard them, nothing like the sound of a growler though!

Thanks Sprinterguy!

How are the staff at Carlisle in terms of photo taking & generally being seen to be hanging about for a while? Would it be an idea to apply to the station manager first or just make yourself known to station staff?

I'm very lucky that my wife is very into all things rail related. Her father was originally an engineer on the New York Central and retired from Amtrak about ten years ago when I first met her. She was a New Jersey Transit Cop back then and I met her in Secaucus NJ station when I asked her for...

My commute is 99% of the time spent on Class 314 EMUs on the Newton Glasgow line whilst reminiscing on the old Blue Trains!

Prefer the original 1984 version by the SOS Band although it was "Just be Good to Me" then!

A bit far away from you but my tattooist is fantastic, does great detailed stuff although I haven't seen any railway related things on his pics I know he'd do a great job. I'm going to get a Flying Scotsman at some point this year! http://www.tattooglasgow.co.uk/

Don't Americans also call the platforms "roads"? "Road 6 for the 10:45 Amtrack service to Washington". Americans refer to the platform area or rather in most cases where you board from ground level as "Track" I also refer to them as that when travelling with my wife who is American to...

Same as my parents and because of that me, I've called them that all my life, through every livery change much to my children's bafflement! :lol:
