    Collector's Clubs

    Having been a member of the Hornby Collectors Club for a few years I began to get a bit fed up with the same old free locos so I joined the Bachmann Club last year and I've got to say I'm very impressed. The free wagon was great, the calendar was nice, the catalogue is excellent but the...

    Annoying unnecessary on-train announcements - a rant!

    The best one I've heard is "If you are not travelling on this service, please leave the train, as we are about to depart" :lol:

    XC on ECML

    Since East Coast will all but abandon the Glasgow to Kings Cross route from May 22nd and XC will be taking over those journeys will they all be Voyager run or will there be a chance of the odd HST being seen in Glasgow Central? Now that would be nice!

    Peak Fares

    Hope this isn't a stupid question and apologise if it's ever been a thread before! Was suddenly thinking a few days ago; Why is there such a thing as peak fares? Is it simply a way for transport companies to make more money per journey because they know people need to get to work? or is it to...

    Scotland Votes 2011

    I've really become disillusioned with the SNP particularly with their Edinburgh-centric attitude and the cancellation of the GARL! Still haven't decided which way to vote though but I guess I'll need to decide quick!

    Bachmann Class 70

    Received a Class 70 from my better half as a birthday surprise and have to say it is brilliant. I wasn't too sure of this loco and have yet to see a prototype in the flesh so to speak but I have certainly warmed to it because of this model. Very very nice indeed!

    Nrm+

    I see in the Railway Magazine published today that the NRM+ project has been cancelled due to funding being refused. Looks like the turntable in the Great Hall will remain uncovered for a while yet! :D http://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/news/nrm-cancelled-after-funding-refused

    The most disturbing film that you have ever seen?

    More than the creeps! I could only stomach about 5 minutes of this disgusting excuse of a film. I dropped in about half way through whilst channel hopping and was stunned that such a sick and depraved piece of garbage would ever have made it to the screen! I've heard they're even going to make a...

    The Royal Wedding

    Certainly will not be watching although the Mrs will but she's American so I can forgive her. I'm not a royalist by any means and would be much happier living in a republic but I don't wish the Windsors any ill will. Personally have met both Princess Ann and Prince Andrew and they were perfectly...
