Great vid Gavin, here's mine: Carlisle though! http://www.britishrailways.tv/british-railways?task=viewvideo&video_id=2165

Exactly ACE, exactly! and I had a lot more hair back then as well! lol! First time I've seen it here Gavin as the Sleepers I see almost every morning are top and tailed with 90's and 67's, then again I'm not actively "spotting" (stopped doing that in the mid 80's) just noticing things on my...

Was like a kid on Christmas this morning coming into Glasgow Central on my daily commute when I saw 66101 in it's lovely DBS livery at the rear of the Caledonian Sleeper. Second time I've seen her in two weeks, the first being in Carlisle but to have her on home turf was a wee thrill!

Really enjoyed the show this year, the two halls really opened things up this year and I managed to get close to a few layouts for a change. Also the general hygiene of attendees was much improved lol! Although there was a lot on thr trade stands I would've liked I behaved and only bought a...

Almost the big weekend and really looking forward to the show as I was down with the flu this week and worrying I wouldn't make it. Thankfully I'm feeling much better and know I will be there. Looks like it's going to be a good one and with two halls being utilised I'm hoping there'll be a bit...

I never said that, just that my personal experience was being attacked in Edinburgh having never had the same happen to me in Glasgow. Also stats change yearly and what might be the worst this year may not be next year and I have my doubts that Glasgow is the current European capital for all...

Horses for courses! lol! As for the safe bit, I was mugged in Lothian Road when I lived in the city in the late 80's never had so much as a verbal threat in Glasgow!

To put it mildly Edinburgh can be capital if it wants quite frankly we in Glasgow don't care the slightest as we live in a far better place in fact the only good thing to come out of Edinburgh is the railway line or M8 to Glasgow! lol! As an article in the Telegraph last year said! Glasgow...

Will be there but not sure which day, usually go on the Friday or Saturday but thinking may try Sunday this time as I've heard it's quieter!

Have you seen this drivel? talk about stereotyping and the case has nothing to do with trains! :evil: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-16760464 'Trainspotter' faces terror charges over Ballykinlar pictures A man described by his solicitor as a nerd and a trainspotter has...

I see, thanks for that! My trains usually come in on 6 and leave from 10, I could have gone on 3 in the days before the barriers went in but unless I have a train from there, there's not much hope! I'm on a Pendo to Euston at the beginning of Feb so may get a better look then! Thanks again!

I see the story has now made it from the Sun to the BBC, wonder why there is still no mention of FSR taking away driver's leave in the first place! Train strike ballot over driver's 'sickie' to watch Rangers The ScotRail driver called in sick while he was watching Rangers in Germany...

Anyone know what all the work going on is on platform's 1 & 2. It's been going on for some time with drilling and a lot of spoil being removed in open wagons but it's all behind boards so I can't really see!

TRAIN driver who pulled a sickie to watch Rangers in Germany was rumbled when bosses rang him and heard a foreign ring tone. Union bosses have threatened a strike after James Foster was demoted following his jaunt to Hamburg. The 47-year-old had told bosses he was ill. But he was caught...

What the heck are ASLEF thinking about? No wonder there is so much anti union sentiment in this country when a strike is threatened over this! http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/4068877/Union-threaten-strike-over-football-sickie.html

I like to go to the movies with the family but couldn't go to this as I heard it wasn't suitable for minors! Boom tish!

Hi Going to dissapoint you I'm afraid, I looked at the card for the first time and it's actually the limited edition certificate for the model in the style of the card, not a membership card as I thought on my original first viewing. However I have found a pic of a card online although I...

I live a street away from the Glasgow/Newton line so very handy for my daily commute! Traction not very exciting though, predominently 314 emus with the occasional 380 too. Also get the occasional Voyager early on a Sunday morning, Network Rail MPV mostly in Autumn and the highlight of last year...

I'm Scottish and have lived here all my life and I can categorically state that 99.9% of us do not hate the English. The reason in terms of football that most of us won't support England is because of the arrogance of the pundits on tv and the press claiming a game or tournament is won before it...

I was a member for only two years (I got too old!) way back in the early 80's. I don't have my membership card but I do have a facsimilie of one that I got with my Bachmann Class 47 "Rail Riders" that I could scan and email you if you want to pm me an email addy! Still got two of my badges...
