Also happened on the 1209, picture taken on return to Bristol Temple Meads. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sabre999uk/8037118459/in/photostream Steve

Hi Dan, So have you received any tickets? If so are they mine or can we add another person to this daisy chain? :roll: Chris, I'll email you. Steve

Hi Chris, Out of interest what tickets did you receive addressed to Daniel Phillips & for what service(s) and how many did you actually request? I requested 4 for the 1108 and received 1. I notice you have to fill in the name on the ticket yourself and in theory what I think should happen...

Hi, Received letter this morning addressed to a totally different name and only 1 ticket, just going to email FGW and see what they say. Meanwhile is there a Chris Hankin on the forum? Steve --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Reply to my email to FGW: "It would appear there have...

Update from FGW just landed in my email: "Dear all The tickets for the Community Rail Festival special charter trains have been received in the First Great Western office today. These tickets will be sent out in todays and tomorrows post. Just to remind you, all the trains will depart...

Had another email from FGW: "I'm delighted to confirm that we've secured an extra carriage for the charter trip along the Portbury Branch, you have therefore been successful in your bid for tickets on the 11.08 service from Bristol Temple Meads along the Portbury Branch, departing from Platform...

Hi, Got a email from FGW today saying the 1108 & 1209 both fully booked. :( Edit: In fact all tickets are allocated according to the website. Steve

cheers, just making sure I hadn't missed a email, been having problems with emails arriving corrupt lately. Steve

Hi, Just a quick question, when you request tickets do you only get a 'your message has been submitted' message on screen or do you also get a email? Thanks Steve

:oops: I've made a fool of myself again, cos I only wanted to know times I didn't look at the fares or even think it would be suggesting multiple tickets... :oops: If only there were still opening windows on trains, we could throw them into their back garden just past Bedhampton crossing...

Hi, Next Tuesday I'm taking my niece & nephew to the cinema in Portsmouth, the plan is to get returns from Havant to Portsmouth Harbour but on the return stop short at Bedhampton to take the kids home (is this allowed?). I looked on National Rail Enquires website for trains from PMH to BDH...

Ah, I got myself in a twist I should have said did the empty unit go to Portsmouth when it left not Brighton - Sorry about that. The 1434 to Brighton did run with 158 952 according to the notes my nephew made. Steve

When I tell my nephew later today what went on I bet the first thing he asks is "Why didn't they use a 57". I think from now on I'll warn the members of the forum when I'm taking him out, getting to our destination is fine - getting home is usually more awkward: Reading: Broken down freight...

Thanks for the extra info, if any of the passengers were anything like some I saw at Fareham you have my sympathies. Steve

Hi, Thanks for the replies, a whole cascade of failures then. Glad I'm not a signaller, I think those at Havant (and the surrounding area) must be bald after today... Steve

Hi all, Today on the spur of the moment we took my 9 year old nephew from Havant to Southampton to watch trains and treated him to First Class, getting there was no problem. First sign of problems was an announcement that the 1210 Portsmouth Harbour to Cardiff Central was delayed due to a fault...

London Fire Brigade Twitter says small fire under train 200 persons evacuated, London Ambulance Service says 126 persons & no injures. Steve

I was at Basingstoke watching the trains with my nephew and the only train announced as being late was the 1417 to Waterloo which eventually arrived around 142 minutes late and terminated at Woking. As for the Portsmouth news being wrong, having the headline match the story is counted as a good...

Whoops, got myself confused - I'll go back to lurking :) Steve

The xx45 London Waterloo - Portsmouth & Southsea waits in platform 2 at Haslemere for around 10 minutes to allow the xx00 London Waterloo-Portsmouth Harbour to pass IIRC. Steve Have been lurking for a while, very useful forum to find answers to railway mad nephews questions! :D
