    Pacer better than a 153?

    The 144s are a brilliant train. The interiors are comfy, it's a shame it's stifling onboard and lacks tables but everything else is great on them. It's a shame that the 142s aren't like them.

    Wessex Red (Bristol) - time to take action?

    Their Preston service is also a shambles. Don't worry, you're not alone. They have no good customer support and instead of upgrading the ruined Solos or taking one of their double deckers back off Cosgrove's (still in PBT pre - stagecoach livery) or looking into some larger buses (not sure if...

    Good and bad bus stations.

    A good bus station that I'd like to nominate is Preston. Okay where my local bus stops it's recently been done up with a full seat replacement and paint job as well as the introduction of appealing buildings. This is next to one of about 4 exits which take you to different parts of the city...

    Oh no not again, 70013

    I agree there. They should start betting on these kinds of things at the bookies, that'd be interesting

    Class 350 on WCML between Preston and Carlisle

    I see. The number looks familiar.

    Class 350 on WCML between Preston and Carlisle

    There's been one in Preston for a few weeks, is it this 350?

    Level Crossing lesson for cyclist

    I'm saying this in serious jest, and I know it's no way near feasible but what are your thoughts on spiked level crossings? I'm more than aware that people could step on them and cars will run them over but vehicles won't be able to get past. As for humans, you can't make the railway any more...

    An Elephant sized gap

    Class 444s and Dorchester South never went well together. The gap was monstrous.

    Trivia: UK local bus routes that use motorways

    I'm sure the Runshaw College buses use the motorway between Preston and Leyland. Unaware of numbers though.

    Temporary stations

    What about the station in Scotland opened due to that landslip?

    Preston Bus Station

    In all fairness this is great news. The part of the bus station I use has recently had an upgrade and it's got lots of safe access points imo. (I've used them all in my time) Anyway, slightly OT but how's the St John's exit doing? Not been that way in ages, looks like there's a lot down there...

    Trains on Google Street View

    If you go a few places to the right and look at the Mk3s you will see one that appears to be split, rather like the famous 2-car 390 at Newton, Scotland.

    Stations which need a good revamp

    Preston. It's all old and depressing.

    Class 350 on testing for TPE

    I'll be watching this on webcam, anyone else? Perhaps we could start a live chat

    Least Favourite Scottish Station

    Edinburgh Waverley. There's lots to explore but I can't get to half of it and it's not like I get to go there very often, today being only the second time this year.

    Your Phone

    Samsung Galaxy S4, it's brilliant.

    Are Virgin first class passengers allowed to access the fridges?

    What else could one find in this fridge - the small cans of coke are among the best I've had.

    Any one been to Asda Minworth, Birmingham?

    Speaking of Carrefour, the one in Calais has an uncountable amount of aisles imo. How about Waitrose Bridport - about 12 aisles but it's very long and has unnumbered areas too. Same for Morrisons and Asda in Preston

    Strange effects of engineering works.

    TPE stopping in Falkirk surely wins it though.

    What is wrong with CrossCountry?

    Voyagers have faster acceleration so would be more suited to the stoppers. The HSTs can then take on the plentiful amounts of passengers travelling between the bigger stops. Hopefully more passengers will then be inclined to use the faster, more comfortable HSTs.
