New seasons can be very difficult to predict at first - I need only think back to 2006/07 when Southend started really well in spite of a second successive promotion (only to be relegated) :shock: As such, I am going to take a gamble. See what you think of this... Round 1 Fixtures [Season 5]...

Are you sure you'll be able to keep track of all the different card tallies? The version I used for the Euros, where all reds were worth exactly two, was a lot easier. Otherwise, I am a bit disappointed that Attendance is gone, but to be fair it doesn't impact on the game in the same way as Away...

I chose the wrong weekend to have friends visit me... I will give a longer response later, but for now just one little thing: Why do they have to start the small-hours 339 after I've left Bath? :(

I find it somewhat ironic that Chelmsford is considered a "parent" operation now. So many areas are effectively operated from there, right through to Leicester, and yet Essex have their own problems to deal with - much of the South Essex review has been a failure (much like the Southend Metro...

Melton Mowbray isn't electrified :wink: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Not sure where the definition of "coast" ends as far as the Thames Estuary goes, but assuming The Nore (or of course further upstream) is the limit, could it be Snodland?

Sorry Annie - you had long enough :wink: Diss it is. I didn't think it was that hard. You can take the floor if you want it though.

Rules Clarification: Is rotation allowed? ...while we're waiting. one that hasn't been rotated:

You mean to tell me that we effectively have a link to one of England's best strikers? :shock:

Wrong angle for Wendover. And I spy what appears to be water (or shingle anyway) to the north-west. The best match I can find is Llanfairfechan.

The A1158, a notable urban route through the western half of Southend, is formed of two nearby parallel roads which are largely one-way. One is called Southbourne Grove, the other is called Westbourne Grove. And as with the pair of roads, Southbourne is seemingly never far from Westbourne...

The Sapphire bus looks really good. Is that even possible where Arriva are concerned? :lol: Now that was a nice livery :) And where I grew up, it was almost ezclusiverly seen on nicer vehicles such as Nationals and Lynxes too - although the yellow/green adopted for Darts later on did look...

Not Ipswich. And I'm off after this post so open floor if correct. Sunderland

There are several bridges en route that need a rebuild to allow the electrification programme to roll out successfully; an example that I am familiar with is at Brougham Hayes in Bath (here). But for the most part, the existing infrastructure seems to be OK. The bridge mentioned above is...

Felixstowe :p ...sorry, this is taking the Michael. I'll be good.

Derby Road :lol:

Aww. My cricket pun (for Buttsy) is out the window now... I was going to compliment him on doing a better job of bowling to me than the team he played against over the weekend, but apparently the bowler alternating Overs with him has stolen his thunder. And that's why I should *never* do...

Hmm. Obviously Mr Admin-type Guy made a typo and I didn't read it right. 25,000 hours is probably a reasonable estimate for how long something like this would take from start to finish, allowing for sleep,rest days, illness and who knows what else, but yes it should be nearer 2,500 hours - or...

Clue 3: This station is in the former NSE area.

Apparently no-one has any idea...

Hunts Cross also sees services to three different central (note the small "c") stations in the same city.
