Thanks coxster, would be good if ya could! Re the 444/450 combos, fratton is not cleared for 9 car so one asumes the guard would lock the 5car out using the SDL switch from the front cab of the 444, locks the whole set out then. Not very good practice on the guards part if it happens on a...

Hi Folks, don't know if anyone can help but I'm after these two announcments (latest celia on train version please) :- 1) - Welcome aboard.. Service to x and y (eg. Alton/basingstoke) which plays when train would devide on route (says customers for.... travel etc) 2) the messages it...

Unfortunatly the problems that bus companies are experiencing are with the amount of money they get back. This varies area to area and can be considerably different.Several routes in my area have seen large numbers of increase since the introduction of "free" travel but the companies in...

Sorry for later reply. Just checked Waterloo A&Ds, no 12 cars ex bomo/soton for around that time but there is a 12 car set on 1P58 1656 ex Havant? Not sure what these three sets come off. It may also not be a regular working but more of an STP trip so could have replaced an ECS of Clapham?

If you tell them they are going for preservation they may allow them to go cheap. When the DFR got 1392/1499, I know it obtained them fairly cheaply - it was the cost of moving them that was the problem. There are some units (as far as I know) still stored at shoeburyness which may be a good...

Thankyou for your help - unusual request I know, but is most useful and most appreciated!

Doh :grin:

The ticket would cover customer to use XC local services but yes he would need a ticket from birmingham to cheltenham if it did not stop before hand - forgot that bit. Oh and as I said, my "contacts" are railway staff.

Not sure how this will play out - I Know that as was said earlier that New Street is not TOC owned, LM just manage the station so am not sure who the rueling falls down to, where as I believe Snow Hill and moor street are owned (am sure I will be corrected if i'm wrong). Snow Hill at least is...

I must agree with you on this dan, the routing guide does need to realy be made clearer as to what is and isn't valid.. We have problems sometimes with one of the groups here at gloucester. There are those guards who will argue that tickets from or via gloucester to newport/southwales...

Correct! 9S49 0625 Plymouth - Edinburgh Waverley was 142067 vice a 221 between Plymouth & Bristol TM on 4th August, bet there wern't no onboard shop though:grin:

Before XC won their part of the franchise, Virgin had long planned for this on the south/western corridor services. We did end up with an improved half-hourly service particularly between bristol - birmingham extended north with a mixture of ECML/WCML routes. However we did loose the long...

Much appreciated, good luck with the med!!!

Have just checked the above ticket validity and from the information I have I know and have been told in the past (I do have several contacts on the railway for several companies): The ticket in question would be valid via gloucester / worcester to kidderminster. The customers ticket would...

Yorkie, please answer this one.... How can you be off route when the ticket IS NOT valid? The ticket in question is not valid regardless.... never mid about being off route, if thats the case you could argue that with any ticket?

Sorry if this has caused offence to anyone but all of the relavant information (of which I have the current penalty fares leaflet to back me up and if you check the LM website under Penalty fares, the map will back me up to prove this) quite clearly states that it is. You will notice on this...

Sorry for abruptness but am just explaining the fact that compulsary means what it says - "Must" I believe, therefor if you are in a compulsary ticket area you are deemed to be travelling and therefore "must" be in poseession of a ticket or permit. If you are not intending to travel then you...

Suggest you do check the facts before passing comments like that. I do know what I am talking about and have read all the information. Do not tell me I do not no what I am talking about. Suggest you try your methods if you think they are correct and see what happens.....

I myself would confirm that this ticket would not be valid via Birmingham and am suppreised that no-one has picked up on this. It was lucky you didn't get checked by RPI as they may have issued you with a penalty fare notice or withdrawn your ticket! If you wished to go that way then I would...

DC 4 should still be available - you just need to scroll through the listing to find the files for that version. Slammer pack should work on later version although the activities probably wont because the track database registrations change.
