I have been asked if it is possible to do a day trip from Haddenham and Thame Parkway to Cardiff incorporating a ride on one of the TfW class 67 hauled Mk4 rakes between Cardiff and Shewsbury, ideally as a circular trip rather than a straight out and back. Is that possible, or would it require...

DDE 20294 got written off at 07.05 this morning southbound on the A240 at the Queen Adelaide. The white car you see on the side was also involved... appears to have hit the blue car and pushed that into the back of the bus...

Does anyone know if there is a canals and rivers atlas similar to the Baker rail atlas please? I'm interested in an actual atlas style book that would show the towpaths and river paths including on which side they are as well as the more obvious features like bridges and locks. Looking on...

I am asking this on behalf of my parents who are going to Windermere right in the middle of the Avanti emergency timetable period. They already have "any permitted" tickets but no reservations; in the event of their being unable to get a reservation on Avanti ( because there will be so few...

The 10.18 from Liverpool Street to Clacton has hit four cows and derailed one axle roughly three miles short of Clacton. Nobody on board is hurt, but obviously the Clacton line will be out of action for the rest of the day. It's 720 528 leading 720 573, before anyone asks. I'm in the front...

We don't seem to have an equivalent thread in here to match the railways ones, despite this being a heavily used part of the forum. May I present to you this clip of a short helicopter ride around Portsmouth back in 2007?

I believe this is the first TOC to do so? LNER has announced it will resume the full, normal, timetable in just over three weeks from now. https://twitter.com/DavidHorne/status/1484512039699636226?s=20

Well, here we go again, another year... Hopefully this year we aren't going to have any loss of opportunity to get out there and get any unbashed track marked off in your atlases! Meanwhile, this thread is being laid and fettled ready to be used at linespeed from tomorrow.

Well, here we go again, another year... Hopefully this year we aren't going to have any loss of opportunity to get out there and see the new stock waiting on your lists! Meanwhile, this thread is freshly ex-works and ready to enter service tomorrow.

Now this is a rare one indeed - a Libyan Government A340 ( 5A-ONE ) currently on approach to Heathrow from Berlin, so an interesting routing as well. I suspect quite a few of you have seen some of the more unusual ones like this recently ( we had a discussion about Air Force One and the...

I wonder if anyone on here has knowledge of the technicalities of modern TVs? We have a Sony Bravia and the TV guide menu on it is one where you can select an upcoming program and press a button to select it, and when it starts the TV automatically turns over to it. Or it did. That worked...

Well, here we go again, another year... While I don't expect there will be much activity for the first couple of months, there are members amongst us who work on the railway or have essential reasons to travel... so the usual thread is here, ready and waiting.

Ticket clerk isn't trained on them... Does anyone know the codes to search for please? This is a Southern station, if that helps?

Well, the snooker has resumed - but can anyone explain this new look scoring system for me? I've never seen an even number of frames before! Are we just seeing earlier stages of the tournament that would not normally be shown on TV or have they changed the system in order to get through the...

In a similar vein to the longest line of sight thread: What is the furthest distance you have visually tracked an aircraft? A short while ago I followed a contrail that I had seen appear in the mid distance, watching the plane at the front of it ( with big binoculars ) until it went out of...

21.00 Paddington: a year on the tracks. 22.00 The Tube: Going Underground. Both are billed as new series, but I suspect the first may be composed of clips from Paddington 24/7 that were never shown? The second I have a feeling might have been shown before although it doesn't say "repeat"?
