I too have a TomTom. I've had it for about a year now and wouldn't be without it. I think that used correctly they actually increase road safety. It's great when driving in unfamiliar territory, letting you see in advance the layout of junctions and roundabouts, bends in the road and the...

I didn't forget the others, I just chose not to mention them! :grin: And I never said I hated anyone. I might have made some comments about kiddies and forums and about a certain admin who suggested I should leave if I didn't like the way things were run but hey........live and let live. Frank

Are we talking about Herbut ? (anagram) I do seem to remember Damon bringing him and another TTF member home one day after a meet. I also remember him taking pictures around the house and posting some of them, (including one showing the picture of a pacer that Damon had on his bedroom wall)...

I would dare to say that the richest among them are not the ones using the buses. My dad is in his seventies and can now get out and about much more than he was able to afford to do before he got his free bus pass. Quite a sobering thought is that in less than 8 years I will be elligible for...

That's typical of you. Go into town to buy something for someone and end up buying yourself something. By the way, I didn't realise you'd taken up speed reading. You've only had the book for a couple of hours! Daddy(!)

I seem to remember this coming up a few months ago. The full Group Regulations document entitled "Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) Warning Line on Traction and Rolling Stock" can be found here (although note the actual URIs on this site have a habit of changing frequently). This document will...

Stagecoach has been awarded the South Western Trains franchise from February 2007, the Department for Transport announced yesterday. http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1878660,00.html Frank

Does it really?!! It just looks like a coloured splodge to my old eyes! Frank

So you should be! As decent as he is I don't think you'd want to get too far on the wrong side of him! :grin: Frank

You know he's a decent bloke and I know he's a decent bloke but we really shouldn't try to ruin his street cred! :grin: Frank

It's on his fotopic site here:- http://stephen9466.fotopic.net/p34059501.html Frank

Came across this useful little program. It gives a display of arrivals/departures from a selected station on your desktop. Although it's called Tubetrack it can display times for the DLR, National Rail and Dublin Dart. It needs no installation, just run the exe. The windows version is under 1MB...

I like the artistic effect of the fence in the slammer shot. http://dennis-lance.fotopic.net/p33890346.html If ever the subject for the photo of the week contest is "Arty Farty shots" I reckon that would be a good contender! :wink: :grin: Frank

It should indeed! You've got to make allowances. I'm getting old! Frank Edit: Thanks to whoever for correcting the title.

Well spotted! I hadn't noticed that either! :grin: Mind you, the file is called 83035 which, as a number, never existed. There was only 15 of them numbered 83001 to 83015. But I'm drifting off topic now so I'll shut up! Frank

Just for the record, pictures 1 and 2 are both class 83, E3035 becoming 83012 under TOPS numbering. Frank

You can see the tail lights in those pictures. The nearest you got to front lights in those days was the lit up headcode panel. Frank

The latest 442 to be taken to Ilford is 2412 which just went slowly up through Farnborough (behind the stopper) dragged by 66518 at about 13:15 Frank Edit: the thread title should of course say 442, NOT 422 :rolleyes:

Bloody hell Craig! Is that wall higher than it looks? And is that closest track further away from the edge than it looks? It looks as though you could just reach up and put your hand on the rail! It also conjurs up interesting pictures in the mind of what might happen as a train with non...

Don't know about 87s but if units are your thing then there are 12 of them in the view of Basingstoke station: 8 x 450s, 2 x 444s, a 165 and a Voyager. Frank
