Hi guys
On the 28th I'm off to the GCR Gala. so I've booked my usual

However if some of the guys I meet up with wanted to meet at Leicester and
taxi over to the GCR how would I stand in terminating my journey at Leicester?
I checked and...
I don't get it. How do these companies make any money?
Shirley it's cheaper to book directly with your TOC of choice? So I tend to book with Greater Anglia, unless i'm playing the split ticket game.
So how does any of these sites make there cash?

As someone who uses the A14....
I *LOVE* seeing freight trains! I doubt they are 'taking up extra capacity' as there are not magically 100's of trains just waiting to take this space anyways.
And I was under the impression that freight still had a lower classification in the signalling...
Got to throw in this. Personally it never bothered me. It looks good, brings in monies to keep other things going and the railway seems to be going from strength to strength!

Previous to that I can't think of *any*
Now the bridge has 5ft high signage... so far so good... But it does seem more wide-spread!

Thanks. I thought that might be the case re:New Street.
I'll just head on up to Stafford then. I tend to park my bum down one end of the platforms.
Thanks Bevan, appreciate the feedback

Planning on heading up on Saturday from SMK for a bit of a bash and phot session.
Anyone have any experiences or problems in Birmingham New Street and Stafford?
Plan is to go from New St to Stafford for a good few hours, then probably an hour at New Street.
any feedback and discussion...
I don't often get replies to be fair. I'm not exactly the most amazing photographer on the planet. But if someone enjoys even one shot then it's worth it - I certainly enjoy my efforts!
No idea about Chatham Steam I'm afraid.
